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.
Fun to Drive

I purchased by Boxter in October of 2009 and already have 5000 miles on it. I take it on trips and to work. I live in Reno and have a good number of days with the top down. My previous Boxter was a 2004 and there is no comparison. This car has all the power and acceleration I need and is a blast in the mountains around here.Also the top is quiet. In the 2004 there was considerable wind noise. Unlike my previous Boxter I have not had a single problem or complaint. Maybe the gas mileage could be a tad better but for the performance you get it is quite acceptable.

My 2nd Boxster and I still love it.

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.
KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK

Porsche really knocked the 987.2 out of the park! A super highlight is the 7-speed manual/auto transmission. I searched the country for specific features that were of most interest to me; driving it home from TX to FL was a thrill! Power, handling, agility, shifting, cornering and braking combine for a spectacular package that fits a 6'1", 200 lb. man specifically. I've owned dozens of high-end, exotic sports cars over the years. Given Porsche's 911 engine flaw in recent years, one might argue that the Cheyenne may actually have saved them from financial ruin. When I hear or see "Porsche" I think sports car - not SUV. That said, I'd submit that it was the Boxster that saved Porsche.
