I'd strongly suggest driving a Boxster S before writing them off under the 'kudos' veto  :happy2:
Sideways yo!

I tend to agree with that... however, I think this purchase is less about the overall drive / performance etc. and more about the whole aura of owning a 911; perhaps you could call it a bucket list car.

I also think because the 911 has changed so little (visually at least) over many, many years, that slapping a private plate on a 10 year old one, still has most of Jo public thinking its more expensive than it really is.

There is also the fact that once they've lost most of their cheddar, they seem to level off somewhat, and always command a lot more money than a rep mobile that has 150k on it, even when they are 10-15 years old.

I have to say the boxster s is probably one of the best cars I have ever driven. They do get a lot of stick from people though, never got why. Proper sports car.

I guess it's possible if used as a daily driver :(

Seems the 996 Turbo models are much tougher... albeit around £20k

C4s would be a good one to get

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

Yikes.  I've seen those Protomotive 996TT's on Youtube, crazy quick.
