Default Hello. New here.

Hello. I'm new here. Just bought a 2000 Boxster "S" for my wife day before yesterday and love it.

All the best,

Thanks! Yep, first one. I sell "F" cars for a living, and have many clients that own them. Just never thought I'd get one, but what a blast to drive. Puts a big smile on her face every time she drives it. Me too.

Thanks. I look forward to getting to know you guys. I am also a member of a few of the Ferrari forums, which is actually where I found the link to this site.

Have a great new years.

Actually, I have been a Ferrari saleman for 9 years and the entire time, I have had Hondas as my daily drivers. Still have 3 of them!

Ferrari 1 congrats. How about some Ferrari owner stories? You must have tons of 'em. Do any of those guys drive over 50 mph?

I can't believe the "Buy It Now Price". That car is amazing! Congratulations.

I think I did okay at $23,700. I have spoken to the previous and only owner who is a local businessman. I also spoke to my friend at the local P dealership who called me and told me every service is up to date, oil changed every 3K, the owner missed nothing, and all books, tools and records are complete. It just seemed like a good deal when you figure that's how much a Honda Accord costs.

My F car clients do drive their cars ALOT. I am in an area where our driving season lasts all year and there is no shortage of large bank accounts. My client base are absolutely the greatest guys in the world and they take very good care of their Ferrari salesman, if they want to continue to get cars.

My wife says I run a "boys club".

I also organize track events about 4 times a year and we get between 100-150 Ferraris on the track so the guys get to stretch their legs a little with their cars. I know the PCA does the same thing. We're just alot looser with the rules. Basically, go out, have fun and don't swap paint with anyone.

Yes, I do have stories. But if I told you, I'd have to kill MYSELF!

Have a happy new year, everyone and drive safely.
