good/bad points - 74 k miles!! ?
I'd like that too. Zero feedback dealer??
Right, that's it!! I've decided I'm in the wrong job. I've never got any cash to splash like half of the punters on here, so I
must be doing something wrong 
I'm off for a sulk.......
i like the fact it can trasform into a mpv
when you need it (last pic)

... but I live frugally, buy Tesco value food, do not run the gc heating, well not yet apart from the last 3 days when I've been home ill and
neither smoke nor drink ....
.... but back to the car, should the mileage be a concern? I have seen them advertised at over 100 k so that is quite a few years. driving for me.
(TBH 911 are a bit out of my price range but I cannot get my R leg comfy under the boxster's steeering wheel - which is effing annoying coz I am
not overly tall - 2004+ model had up/down adjustable steering hence I'm forced to look at these, price of those encroaches into 911
territory).

Bit OT but I can't believe much money we've saved since quiting drinking. Both me and the wife used to go out fri sat sun. I
conservatively estimate we are saving about 3 hundred a week.

or is it on £ 50 rare malt whiskeys? Have a look on pistonheads, there are a few on at similar money.
Al.
Sorry for the high jack
No that's eating out maybe two or 3 times, entry to clubs, taxis as well as drinks and stuff

that surely is just not booze? £ 300 is 100 pints total, or 7 pints daily each??!/!

Questions I'd ask (in addition to all the standard sensible questions about mechanical history, accident damage etc)
Whats the condition of the soft-top? (if there is one)
Can I live with:
- grp 20 insurance?
- £400 annual road tax (I'm guessing there!)
- £200 per tyre and
- 15 mpg
hmmm.. correction
I just read around a bit and 25mpg seems to be achievable....
^^^ you've missed oput the servicing - speakin to woner of 3.2 boxster I may be viewing tomorr - said last prorsche service cost £ 500 ... in
whcih they did nothing hmmmmm ..........
(know the feeling of servicing with my volvo - a 50 point check list which is FA e.g. check washer level, check and grease door hinges WTF?? i.e.
paying for stuff that isn't replacement parts or I could do myself) ... but such is life, I realise it ain't gonna be peanuts.

^^^ unfortunately what you say is true - the only good thing about being an old duffer 
been comparing meerkats etc and if they are to be believed,
911 is around the £ 500 ish fully comp, about £ 100 than 2.7 boxster . .... I rang up the insurance peeps =2geher = and they are able to do the 2.7
boxster for under £ 500 under some weird classic porsche scheme that uses the same no claims (13 yr) as the main driver .... so all in all makes it
very tempting ......
