2008 Porsche Boxster 2dr Convertible (2.7L 6cyl 5M)

Truly this has to be one of the world's great automobiles. Driving this car on public streets makes one feel sensational. I can only, at this time, imagine how great the car is going to be when I get it on a track at a Porsche driving school. The five speed transmission is a bit of a drawback but that's because I am used to a six speed. Pay up for the six speed if you can, either in the base as an option or in a Spyder or Boxster S. Go for the 18 inch wheels too. Try for the 12% discount like the other guy said, but in reality be happy to get 5%. Definitely shop the car among other dealers but supply does look a bit low. Enjoy!
2500 miles of joy

My new RED 2008 Boxster listed for $53,960.00 was able to get it for $45,300.00 It is wise to shop around. There is no need to go for the "S" model, stay with 18" wheels.The car is perfect in every way. Excellent heat, cold in ct. I drive it in 40 degree weather and am very warm. Get the wind stop however. The finish, build quality is beyond BMW, last car was a 2006 mz4. The ride is comfortable at 80 mph on interstate or 30 mph around town. The two trunks carry everything a normal person would carry, I even put my backpack leaf blower in trunk. As far as visual it is a breathtaking auto from all angles. Watch out for "racers," they always want to race you. Smile and let them go, your car is a joy.

I traded in my 05 for an 08. The changes I noticed were the seats were a bit more conforming (and no I didn't gain weight), and the shifting was a bit looser than the 05 (the 05 had a tighter shifting ratio). I have to get used to it because every time I go into what I think is 3rd it is 5th. I love the feel and look of the car and the ride. The gas mileage is respectable and even though I spend tons of money on a car, I still hate paying high gas prices. Whether you buy a Boxster or a 911, you have that Porsche prestige.
Unbeatable value and performance for a used car

2008 Porsche Boxster RS 60 Spyder 2dr Convertible (3.4L 6cyl 6M)

I bought a certified pre-owned RS 60 spyder with 30K miles, 2.5 years old, and paid $41K at a dealership (wrnty good to 100K mi or June 2014). The design, performance, fit&finish, and overall driveability are phenomenal. The sport exhaust is absolutely AWESOME!!. I love driving this baby through tunnels with the top down--the sound just stirs the soul! Many you tube videos exist that give nice reviews of the car, but for some reason none really capture the sound all that well. You really have to drive it to hear and feel it adequately. After researching "fun" cars for years, I feel that I couldn't have made a better choice for overall performance and value.
Infamous IMS failure.

These cars are prone to early engine failure. Research them well before you buy one.
