soooo.....

What should I add to the stable to replace the Solara? We have a Durango for hauling so space is not an issue...

I JUST CAN'T DECIDE....

$$$ is in the ballpark, miles and conditon is also. hmmmmmmm

awj

If you don't have kids, go for the Boxster! Nothing like a convertible. I was considering one myself, but since I need to carry 2 other passengers most of the time, I really can't have it as my primary car.

They're all such different cars, you just need to decide what you really want and need out of a second car.

ATL-SC

a boxster will make you look like a pompus *** hahahaha
get a lex or if you dont need speed get an old lincoln continental converable. cant beat suicide doors.

Anything but a Boxter.

993.. Ftw..

unless it is the 06 boxster S then I say the 2000 SC.

Well, I really don't fret too much about what I look like - but why do you say pompus *** ATL-SC? And why anything but a Boxter (sic) DIrEctQL?

Just asking for opinions so say what you will - please.

I know they are all a bit different, but I've liked the styling of all of them. A BMW 5 series would be nice, but geez, bimmer reliability stinks based on my experiences.

Has anyone on here compared the Boxster S to an SC coupe? Or preferably owened both?

Love to hear your thoughts also.

Thanks for the input - my wife will KILL me if go through another car cycle within the next few years so I need to choose wisely.... You folks would laugh if I told you all the cars we have bought since getting married a few years ago...

Yeah, and they're nothing alike.

And Porsche isn't exactly known for reliability any more than Bimmer. You might consider and ///M model.

Mongoose... can you expand on that a little bit, as far as your observations between the two?

The Boxster S is an 01 with around 28K miles, ahh a 6spd manual is nice though. Yah, relibility isn't on par with the Lexus, but then again not too many vehicles are.

well i personally think the sc300 is the better looking of the 3- also i see alot less of them around- it might just be the area i live in- but if i had a choice i would get the sc and spend the saved cash and buy upgraded parts- with the money you would save you could sup up your sc to be faster than the other 2 as well- but thats just me- get the sc fool

If you can live with the convertable get the Boxster S. If not get the GS400. I personally don't think the SC is that sporty, but I have an SC400 and not a turbocharged SC300 manual. Even though the Boxter S gets no respect it is still a quick car and a heck of a lot of fun to drive. You'll love the feel of the mid engine car.

Porsches reliability is not good? Since when?

I say go for the Boxster - it's much maligned, and it's certainly no 911, but it's a really fun car to drive and they look great. I can't comment on ownership as I have not owned one. I did own a '98 SC and loved it, though - they're just very different cars, the SC while a great car is not as 'seat of your pants fun' to drive as the Boxster.

It sounds like you are looking for a fun car.

The GS 400 would be the Adult fun car, meaning take the friends/inlaws out for an evening at the local french cafe & the opera.

The Boxter would be the canyon carver toy that you would soak up the sun with..

IMO having a Car/Durango and a convertible is the best of all worlds. You should look at a Corvette convert... It would be just as fun and just as reliable as a boxter S. Just not as prestegious...

It all depends on what your looking for. I cant speak to the SC because I have never driven one, but good choices on the cars though...

I would go with the 2000 sc300. The rarity of it makes it great to own.
