I picked up a '98 last week for an incredible price. The car isn't perfect, but I wasn't expecting perfection. I'll keep updating this thread as I take care of its issues.

This is Porsche #6 for me. I've owned a '92 968 cabrio, an '86 944, an '84 944, an '87 Carrera cabrio, and a '75 911 Targa. I sold my last Porsche back in '02, so it's been a while. It's good to be back.

I think its time to add a 928 to the fold.

congrats on the '98!

If the prices keep falling, I may do it.

How much did u pay? I just got a 98 with 46k miles for $10k. Not perfect either, needs a new boot around the shifter and other misc things but it was just repainted 3 months ago so it looks a lot newer than a 98. Can't wait to take deilvery

$6500.

The seller was in a full-scale panic. I was lucky enough to be the second one on the scene, and the first with cash.

I hope it doesn't blow up tomorrow.

for 6500 it does not matter if it blows up, that is a sick price perfect to build out as a spec-racer or something.

That's why I bought it. It's cheap enough to play with.

I can drop a little cash in it and have a fairly unique, fun car. I'm going to drop a windshield in it and replace the top next week if I can find the time, and then I'm going to concerntrate on picking up a set of 18 inch wheels. Might get 19's if I can find a set that I like.

Tonight I'm going to read the owner's manual. Maybe it will clear up some of the mysteries - like why the windows roll down all the way sometimes when I'm lowering the top, and other times they don't.

man, that is cheap I hope my wife's 05 boxster is worth more than that in 7 more years.

Cars were CHEAP a month ago. I almost pulled the trigger on a base '05 with S wheels and 65K miles.

The owner was a kid, and he only wanted $18K. I probably would have bought that car if it hadn't been 350 miles away. Also looked at a local '06 Boxster S with 14K miles for $23,500.

Rebuilt title on that one, though.

Thief!!

I'd buy at that price even if I knew the engine would blow tomorrow.
