Thankyou very much everyone for the posts on the Boxster - very useful indeed. It seems like this could be a sensible enough option. The 2.5 would be sufficient for me to start with at 200bhp - there is a far better choice of them available at around the 5k mark with reasonable miles on them, or so it seems to me. Sorry Oa and CDG.....![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)
Built 1990. 2.0e
Shipped to Tokyo in 1991
Re-imported to UK in 2007
I bought(£1.5K!!!) and drove out to Northern Italy in 2009 where it resides. Starts on the nail after 6 months dormancy. Every time.
67K on the clock, Full leather, heated seats, air-con, sunroof....not a spot of rust.
I keep thinking 'sell it, take 964!' .....but I just can't. Mrs A finds it a gentle and easy drive on the tight roads.

Lovely and what a bargain. Make sure you keep it forever, you will keep coming back to it as a really nice item to use. ![hehe](/inc/images/hehe.gif)

I do need to get myself in one.
I have been using the SL as a runabout at work (thus keeping it in covered parking) - the MPG on lots of short trips with the odd blast down some local lanes is highly comical - I think the last tank has gone at about 10-12 mpg!
