A magnificent choice of car, but you can’t possibly understand exactly what we all mean by that just yet, but you will.

Just make sure you drive it and enjoy it for the stunning sports car that it is, residuals will be strong regardless.

Just think.....a warm summer morning, feeling of freedom.....and away you go in a Porsche Boxter GTS.

Life will not get better!

Congrats! Had mine for three years now and it's been a phenomenal car. Can't see me changing it for anything this side of a Mclaren ...
Enjoy (I'm sure you will)!

Thanks for all the positive comments. I must admit black wasn't the colour I set out to buy but it does look fantastic (at least when it's clean) and its also been treated with GTechniq Platinum by an OPC so that helps it to shine.

Spec is

Reg: Dec 2014 - 12k miles
Standard car with sports seats plus
PDK
PCM Nav/Telephone with universal audio
Bose Sound System
Gloss Black Wheels
Park Assistance
Auto dimming mirrors
Heated seats
Cruise Control
£7.3k extras on top of £53k list price when new.

Amazing how these cars are holding their value so well and I only expect them carry on doing so with the mixed views of the 4 cyclinder turbo engines.

Great car but values are also being helped by lack of stock and also dealers with holding cars so it appears that not many on the market. Rybrook have had the white for a few weeks but wouldn't advertise till the black was sold. Also seen that at another dealer! Make your own mind up?

Enjoy, had 3 years of great fun in mine before I sold it just last month. Great car!

@Ted, there genuinely are not alot on the market, or being traded in. That dealer might be choosing to do that but there is very little stock of the BGTS, hence when selling mine i had it private for a few days then sold it to a dealer as the bids were great.

Agreed not at lot for sale but are they being held back . An opc wont list more than 1 at a time even though they have 3 in stock and i know a south coast independent had a silver one for 8 weeks but wouldnt advertise it as they wanted to sell the one they had already and that has been difficult to shift.
Thats 3 that i know have done it. Like i said make your own mind up?

Got mine for a bargain as the dealer wanted to shift his stock quickly i think. Apparentally the day I reserved it 6 other people rang up to reserve it.

I'll be selling mine in 3 months time and i've already had several offers from guys on the Porsche Owners UK facebook group, for a couple grand more than I paid for it!!
