Suggestion · Original poster

I enjoyed my previous Boxster S, and quite fancy a return to mid-engined motoring for a spell, and change of cabin to the 987 (the 986 and 996 cabin being mostly the same).

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Afternoon all Just a quick post - I sold my Boxster S to buy a 996 Turbo cab, which has been a blast for a year. I am now looking to change cars again and I am drawn to another Boxster 'S'. If anyone is interested in a swap in the opposite direction, drop me a line. Cheers Jon

POST 2Original post

You may get a better response at boxanet.com. Have to ask why you want to, dare I say, downgrade?

POST 3Original post

Hi Jon I'd be happy to swap my 986 Boxster S for your 996 Turbo Cab, we will need extra seats in the New Year :grin: Boxster S is so much fun to drive :thumb:

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A fair question, and not the last from the rear-engined crowd I suspect! I tend to swap cars fairly frequently, some might call me fickle. I enjoyed my previous Boxster S, and quite fancy a return to mid-engined motoring for a spell, and change of cabin to the 987 (the 986 and 996 cabin being mostly the same). No doubt a return to 911 will be forthcoming, but at the moment I can't decide which direction after the turbo, certainly for excitement's sake. Perhaps why I am already eyeing a 993 Turbo....

POST 5Original post

You know it makes sense... think how much fun it would have coming out to play with my 4S.....

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes - we could serve G&Ts on the drinks tray, correction, spoiler after a thrash on some IOW roads. Capital plan!

POST 7Original post

Or even boxa.net Personally I think you'll miss the Turbo's kick-in-the-butt!

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I suspect you are right - always miss something. I missed the 'S' engine note at 3,000 revs as soon as I sold it. Right now though, the only kick in the butt I am getting is from the mrs to provide her more cash for her Manolo Blahnik collection. Which is sub-consciously probably much of the motivation for selling...

POST 9Original post

Poor Mrs Daborg. She is very much maligned. I know about your collection of custom-made deck shoes

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I suspect unfairly so, as you rightly point out.

POST 11Original post

:worship: Thank you for the correction, I was close but no banana. Not a site I have frequented before Agree totally about missing the kick in the butt. Still makes me smile after 4 years with this one.

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'd take that - cheaper shoe habit. Now - boringly back on topic - anyone know of a nice Boxster S?
