even for a non-S its still a good buy I'd say, has low KMs, and an expensive wheel option. Low km's also. I can also make out the pricey sport seat option, so it's probably well specced.I didn't get on massively well with the base Boxster, I had one for an extended weekend when my Cayman S was at Porsche for some work in the UK. Nice car and all, but didn't ride well on 19s without PASM (the example above also has 19s, it would be bone rattling on Dubai roads without PASM). I didn't like the 5 spd gearbox (althogh again there is an option for a 6 spd but it's not popular, and the car in the ad is an auto anyway) and I didn't like the brake feel compared to the S.
An auto non-S will be a bit of a slouch I feel, but again for the money it's a good cruise wagon and looks the business. Don't expect it to be that quick though... if it was an S and 15k more expensive I'd go for that.
I read the headline of the advert and thought "yeah right, another towel head thinks his 911 Turbo is the fastest in the world after getting abdul down at ras al khor to chip it and put some big dump valves on it, muppet".
Then I read the advert.

Found it whilst showing my mate what else he could get for the price of a 3 yr old Wrongler he is looking at.I didn't get on massively well with the base Boxster, I had one for an extended weekend when my Cayman S was at Porsche for some work in the UK.

I would find it sloooow after the Stang for sure and with a lack of drivers roads unless you go looking for them probably not best choice, just seemed a lot of car for the money.
Certainly looks well with those wheels

The SRT8 is an option but oh, throwing that up the AUH highway every day is going to be expensive, both in fuel and fines.
So much more presence than the Audi, did I mention the noise? 
I am guessing economy is not the be all and end all though if you are looking at an RS4, I'd wager that the Cherokee pegged at 139 on cruise would barely be ticking over.

US spec means twin headlamps and big dodgem-car bumpers.
