Given i'm a FA rotter, give me 1 reason I shouldnt drop $20K on 2008 Porsche Boxster?

[Turbomunkey]

2.7 liter, just lol

[berserkbladex]

How much $ do you have saved? And what do you do for a living/what do you make?

Saved up $20k outside my savings/401k just to treat myself...have a daily driver, new MDX, house so whatever I am saving now is just either for fun or investing. STEM master race, 120k.

[DrivesonaVinyl]

This guy never gives up.

[xXBrutalXx]

if you want to tell people you are gay just buy a used Miata and save yourself a bunch of money

[zilaniz]

boxsters are poverty as fuark, very try hard car, especially one that is 8 years old lol.

[DPBizzle]

2008 = manufactured & assembled in 2006, promoted for initial sale in 2007 as a "2008" model.

The car is already 10 years old.

so if I want to buy a new car today, I have to pick the 2018 model?

[NuggzTheNinja]

Gonna squat at home until your parents die and the house is yours? Strong. You sound like you need a race car bed, not a real one.

This. Gonna bring a chick home in your Porsche...to your parents house? No wonder you're FA.

[WelshAutist]

People who say Boxster is a poverty car and 245bhp is nothing, are just a bunch of spoil brats. Most of them american, who only know how to accelerate in a strait line.

Get the porsche.


The pleasure of driving through europe on several landscapes is how to carry speed without constantly accelerating and braking and the Boxster has superb handling.


ps: do not go for the cayman for the small extra handling/performance. Part of the experience of driving is the open top.


Do it.

Repped brah, this is such an inspiring post (srs)

[WelshAutist]

2008 was 8 years ago would you eat a piece of food 8 years old? i think not.

I rarely neg, but sorry I just had to neg for your stupidity...

[Dawes]

With a £34k salary, UK insurance rates, tax and petrol prices. This is stupid idea.

And semi automatic? No wonder you are FA.

[MiniManletBrah]

OP my mind is blown you spend 10k on taxes


Good thing I never pay mine

[drbaig]

Lol brah, I had an A1 and took it out on dual carriageways.

But it's not that I'd put myself in danger riding it, it's that most car drivers are genuine idiots...!!!

Like I said, each to their own. You could potentially die doing something arbitrary. Everything is dangerous.

I like motorbikes and the relative cheap/thrill ratio they provide compared to cars.

Cars are just a utility thing for me. Then again, they are useless in traffic.

[shawntoronto]

lol at the boxster hate ITT, i have a modified 2001 that every person i run into says sweet ride, and has gotten me more pussy than any of you neckbeards in this thread with your ******* trucks and ricer chitboxes

Tempted to quote stats, but i'll be nice. While I agree £34,000 isn't a huge salary; it's not what you make - it's what you SAVE!

What's wrong with buying a £15K Boxster (relatively new - only 30-35K on the clock), if that's how much I save a year living a pretty good life? You realise most people don't drive Boxsters because they have a mortgage and save MAXIMUM 5K a year, usually way less, if anything at all.

Let's say my insurance is £1500-2000 (when I hit 25), road tax isn't very much, and petrol/maintenance i've accounted for in the 10K I spend currently in my post-tax bills but even bumping that a bit higher; combined, that's EVERYTHING paid off with 18 months wages. And I still have plenty of money for food, restaurants, games, holidays, gym memberships, hobbies, contact lenses, student loans, direct debits, etc etc.

For those 18 months until I break even, I will have a GOAT Porsche to enjoy on windy roads and motorway and I can use it to drive to my hobbies and work. Surely it's a better return on investment in terms of enjoyment and pleasure than sticking 10K a year into a poverty cash ISA with a 0.25% interest rate return??

Repped brah.

Have you got any pics? How much did you drop on it? And were there many big costs on maintenance and parts?

[JimmyRustle1]

You all are morons if you think just because you have a nice car you are getting laid. Case and point a guy at my gym has a really nice modded CTS-V. He could not get laid if his life depended on it. Strong potato ITT.

[LovePollution]

Older people i've spoken to have said, what about if you have a wife and kids one day? Your wife will want a place for the two of you, not to live with your parents? Your kids education will cost a lot of money, etc etc

Fuk that. You live for now, because I'll probably be dead long before I bring a life into the world.

[zknarc]

Will do when I finish work later. What about 2009 model onwards? Like what if I drop £18-20K for a 2009/10 one instead of £15.5K on an 08 one?

I'm not sure. Check owners forums.

Porsche running/garage costs are very high, the cheaper ones are cheap for a reason.

[Antonio519]

First of all, the ones you posted are the newer boxsters, which will be 45-50k at the cheapest

Might as well get an older S2000 for 10-13k, looks the similar, most people won't be able to tell the difference, cheaper to maintain/insure, same power, probably better handling, doesn't look gay

[Kurial]

If I were you, I would buy a used 2015 mustang (preferably in that candy apple red)

Always hnnnnnnngg when I see it.

[fahass2]

Because it won't help you not be a F/A rotter. You'll now just rot in your Porsche rather than your parents basement.

The S2000 might be good in terms of stats and performance, but it is nowhere near as good looking as the Boxster!!!!

A 08-10 Boxster in black is single handedly the best looking car you will get for 15K

[FAPhaggot]

It can all change in the blink of an eye. From lifelong FA to married (srs). Never say never.

[KT667]

boxter is not a real porsche

911>boxter

How many 24 year olds can afford a 911?

One of the strongest usernames to thread content ratio ever!

[WelshAutist]

My friend just dropped £10,600 on a used 2012 Mercedes C-Class.

It's a nice car don't get me wrong... but he could have got a 2007 Porsche Boxster with only 40-50K on the clock for that.

I guess different people want different things though. He's older and married so needs a backseat for his upcoming toddler in the near future. I just want to ride up winding roads and mountains alone with the roof down and enjoy life in my own company.

What do you guys think is the better deal?

[Antonio519]

The S2000 might be good in terms of stats and performance, but it is nowhere near as good looking as the Boxster!!!!

A 08-10 Boxster in black is single handedly the best looking car you will get for 15K

Nah, the 08-10's look gay as fuk, unless it was the "spyder" it looks like a mini cgt with the extra bits on top of the hood/trunk.


this is pretty much what you are getting for 15k, no gracias
