Hi guys, i want to buy a car in 5 weeks to replace my old 1995 ****ty car.
i want a Porsche but the Boxster is all i can afford and able to drive. Stupid law in australia doesnt allow me to drive a car above 200kw

I heard of a new boxster comming out but when is it comming out and when will the Prices drop for the 986 and 987??

I cant afford a 987 currently and i am thinking of a 986 then. Most preffered is a Manual black boxster above 2.7L.
if the price of the 987 drop to $60,000 by feb then i will get the 987.

i really need help haha.

 

or i could just buy a 986 and put a body kit on it?? problem is i have looked for shops in australia that sell porsche body kits and no luck

 

^^they have 986 body kits as well. =) techart has a beautiful widebody kit. it's pricey, but it looks fabulous!

 

lol ye i ment 986. ye i know they do have body kits but i cant find any in australia.

EDIT: i found a aero kit in adealaide. does every porsche centre have that??

^^not sure. you may have to order one from online and just have it shipped to you. =)

 

so u think i should go for the 986 and not wait for the prices to drop? i really cant wait to replace my current car ahaha.

 

techart bodykit is not worth it plus it's not even that wide...

 

so what bodykit should i get? i want the best bodykit available money isnt the problem for the bodykit

 

What kind of car do you have now?

Why don't you just enjoy it?

 

my current car is a 1995 hyundai Lantra used to get to work, i want a porsche for the weekends who can enjoy with that kind of a car hahaha.

 

I'm not one to tell others what to do with their money, however I would suggest considering some more affordable cars. As much of a p-car fan as I am, I wouldn't want to be stretched thin getting into a 5+ year old car, repairs could surprise you and leave you in a very uncomfortable position. I would want more of a cushion, financially speaking, before I would risk being "car poor." As I've heard it said, you have to work like a slave before you live like a king - I would get a more affordable car this time around and focus on making more or saving more and getting into the p-car you truly want in a few year, rather then settling right now.

 

I don't know if its a stretch for you but buying a used 986 isn't so bad. yes, maintenance will be more costly than your average car, but if you buy parts online and are handy with a wrench you can reduce that maintenance cost by quiet a bit.

Personally I like the 986 lines more than a 987. A 986 with a factory Aerokit looks the best in my opinion. Too many kits out there just "look" odd.

I like some of the Techart pieces as well.

 

Thanks tmtacq for your opinion. You are right, my current car is dying and i hate my current job, the pay is high but i hate it!!
that is why i will just buy a 2008 Holden commodore SV6 and then in 2 years time i will sell it and buy a Porsche 911 how does that sound??

 

That could be fun while you save up a bit more and get into a 911.
Although as long as you find a 986 that was taken care of, you shouldn't have too many issues.

 

This kit is for the 987, not the 986, sorry.
