Default Would you trade for a Boxster???

Hypothetically, someone offers you a Boxster of the same vintage as your S2K. Would you take an even trade?

Was there any particular reason why you put it that crude way???

My answer would be - no trade. I have the better car. It may not have the prestigous Porsche name, but it will have the expensive Porsche repair bills. I'm happy knowing I have the better car.

I wouldn't either. Believe it or not, but I get more attention driving my car than a Boxster or any 996. I wouldn't even trade it for an M3 *scouts honor*

Regular Boxster, nope. Boxster S maybe. I would do a straight trade sell it and get a new S with plenty of money for a beater car or major mods.

I seen a red Box at lunch and it was a 60+ year old guy driving like how ancient people drive with them hunched over the steering well. If that is the image of a Boxster driver then no thanks

If the boxster has rear glass window, I would.

In fact, I would have bought a boxster (instead of the S2K) if it had glass. I love the way it looks more than the S2K.

It's a wanna be Porsche. There's no car I despise more than the Boxster.
