Talk to me about the 987 Boxster RS60

[Babw]

I'm in the process of selling my E46 M3 for a Nissan GTR. Being extremely picky finding the right GTR is taking longer than anticipated. By chance an interested party has come forward for my daily Z4 so now I'm having to search for a replacement for that as well.

The obvious choices are an Z4M or 987 S. I'd love a 981 S and even though I could probably stretch to the purchase cost I don't fancy the depreciation that will occur. Having experienced an S54 and Z4 for 5+ years now, the Z4M is becoming second favourite to the 987.

I do like the silver/red interior and I can't seem to find a non RS60 car that is as well specced as the RS60. Also I assume the RS60 will hold it's value better than the standard cars.

The car will be my daily with about 6K per annum and I feel it'll be a good partner to the GTR.

Anything I should look for in particular when buying these cars?

Good looking car but the 3.4 engines allegedly have issues. I'd go with the Z4M.

I am somewhat aware of the issues so would be buying one with an OPC warranty. I thought 3.4 Boxster engines were more reliable than the bigger capacity versions with regards to bore scoring?

Mike,

sounds promising but to be honest I'm more concerned with spec rather than miles as it will be a daily.

Would you happen to know what options it has and where about in the country is the owner based?
