To not place this bid I have on another tab. Despite a more than firm warning from my better half, and not having a garage space having  for it. I’ve damn near talked myself into it. I have an amount that will more than likely be surpassed. The more I look at this color combo, the more I like it. Help me!

A fantastic car to drive, but that red leather interior (and top) is awful. Don’t bu y it.

That is a glorious color combination.

The RS60 was a great spec of Boxster, you should get it.

It’s really growing on me.  Like an album you thought you hated but quickly becomes your favorite.

Then you won’t have enough to buy that G70.

I thought the Spyder had that weird canopy top thing? I like it though. Seems like a decent price.

I’m saving that one for you though!

Boxster Spyder is a different dude than the RS 60

I won't go into bat bidding war territory.  There aren't many, but there are other options.

You’re saving for that for me?  Aw, that’s a heck of a birthday gift.  Thanks!

The bill is also a gift.  It'll be in the card and will arrive first. ;-)

You really shouldn’t be so generous.

I’m either buying a convertible or an e38 in the near term.  Probably no g70.  E38 will take a lot of work to ls swap it with a turbo and restore the interior.

I mean, you gotta try, right?

So, did you do it?

I love the color combo too.

Nope, going behind my wife's back isn't cool.  I'll try to make it work sooner rather than later.

Yeah, I would never do that either - no way.

What does this special edition run, $ wise? I’m wondering if a more recent Boxster S might equal or better the performance .

I don't see these going for significantly more than a regular Boxster s.  Kinda makes it a no brainier.

I test drove a 2013 Boxster S last year, and I think it had at least as much power as this car, maybe more (?). Brilliant car.

Nice, it has basically everything I want in a convertible, and additional power  is an overbore away if I lust for more.

So, I explained my thoughts a bit more to her and she’s acquiesced. Unfortunately the car has gone up enough early on that the seller is probably going to get a great amount. Good for him, but I’m out. However, my wife agreed to let me bid on the Porsche just  as it went over my initial amount. She did agree to me purchasing a similar one over this summer though! RS 60 here I come!!!!

  Whoo hoo!!

Boxsters are fantastic cars - best to look a bit and pay a fair price anyway.

Good luck!

Thanks, I’ve made up my mind on a low mileage RS 60. I think they’re a hidden gem. I really dig  some of the small details and love the red top.  There gauge cluster is amazing, without the hood really changes it.
