2013 boxster

FL 4Motion · 01-17-2012, 11:41 PM

all this does is make me excited about wha they'll do with the next cayman S and cayman R.

they should make a cayman/boxster GTS or GT with power more similar to the 911.

But I know that would never happen...it would eat into their 911 sales.

There is a turbo kit that goes for$ 9k that brings it up to 450+hp, but I bet stock 315hp is just right.

It looks fantastic! Both the base and the S are going to be really sporty rides. I'll have to check one out.

I've never been a boxster fan but this new one completely changed my mind. I thought I had another contender as a replacement for my Z in the next year or so, that is until I started optioning one out on their website. EVERYTHING is extra. The price quickly shot north of $70k before I finally just stopped. There's no way I would pay that kind of money for that car.

Porsche kills you with options!

Wait 3 years. Enjoy the Z then pick up a low mile used one loaded for $35k

I'd always heard that but didn't realize just how bad it was. I assumed for the relatively high starting price that it would come very well equipped in base form. That's simply not the case though.

I start out with a 911 at around $78k and end at $115-125k with the options I want.

I have a hard time believing I'll be able to pick up a loaded model for that kind of money in only 3 years. I'll most likely be looking to see what they do with the C7, 2013 GT500, 2014 Mustang, or 2014 STi instead. I'm more of a bang for the buck type of guy. They won't be as luxurious as the Boxster but I'll sleep better at night.

This makes me angry

m4a1mustang · 01-18-2012, 09:24 AM

I am bang for the buck too. I could get a boxster or 911 but I'd feel really bad about it. I think if I get one it will be used.

Yeah, you're paying for the engineering that's behind the base model. The growl produced by Porsche's power-plant is absolutely stunning IMO.

No doubt there's a lot of quality engineering there, but a lot is the Porsche badge premium as well. That's really what kills it for me. I want everything but don't want to pay for it.

for some reason I'm really tempted to price one out now, just to see all the options...trying to resist

Unless you're willing to spend more than $60k on it then no harm will be done.
