New To Porsche, Which One?

I am in South Florida and just recently got rid of my BMW335i convertible. I currently have a ford f150 ecoboost that I use as my daily and to tow my boat, but it is getting annoying to commute with.

I am looking at used Boxster S, Cayman S, and 911. Leaning towards a covertible and don't really want to spend more than 50k, so i'm weeding out the 911 at this time.

I found some excellent low milage one owner boosters.

Just curious what you guys think would be the best buy?

Thumbs up Boxster S All the Way

I'm new to Porsche as well and live on the other coast where the sun shines. I got a '06 Boxster S and have been loving it for the past month. I test drove the Cayman S as well but decided that having a convertible is much more fun. With the mid engine, it will handle just as well if not better than a 911. And the S provides extra power and upgrades where needed to make it really fun to drive.

Enjoy!

Well you could get a new 2013 Boxster and the car is amazing. I just took delivery Friday on my new Boxster S and I can honestly say I prefer driving it over my GT3RS. Te car is just amazing. A base Boxster would have less power, but it's still an amazing car in its own right. If you want more power, I would buy a 2009 or later Box S or Cayman S for that price.

If you can afford it, get an 09 or newer. DFI engine and will hold it's value better.
