New car collection day

[speciald]

I enjoy reading these threads so thought I would do one today.

I've agreed to buy a car from eBay that I haven't seen at the other end of the country. So far I've been on a couple of trains and had a night in a Premier Inn. I'm now a little over an hour away from meeting the seller and if all goes well I'll be driving the new one home.

It's a replacement for a 987.1 Boxster S which was sadly written off recently after someone drove into it in a car park.

I'm paying roughly the same amount I got from the Boxster. It's one of the cheapest examples currently for sale, has high miles but a decent service history and lots of receipts.

Any guesses?

No idea but enjoy collection day. Hope it goes well.

I wish. A friend has one and they're lovely.

Sadly they're at least 4 times more expensive than I'm paying for my new car.

Mine was registered in 1999.

Ah ok…TT?

I do like a TT but not this time.

It is German though.

I would say a SLK 350

10 points.



Loved the Porsche ownership experience so decided to try a 996. It's a tiptronic which wasn't my first choice but read and watched a lot on YouTube so decided to give it a try.

I've got a Honda ENY:1 and a Mégane 225 so if this does go catastrophically wrong it can stay off the road for a while.

That must have been a great trip home then!

New car looks really smart too.

Looks to have a great registration too.
