1998 Porsche Boxter
I certainly have a thing for Porsche's, probably due to the fact that my first car was a triple black 944 (or perhaps my first car was a result of my love for the brand). Regardless, it's quite surprising to me that prior to purchasing this Boxster I had owned only two Porsche's, and both of them were front engine cars. I plan to have owned every single Porsche model before I'm done. Well, you can check the Boxster off my list.
This car was a 5-speed , and was in very good condition. The Boxster handles great, and is rather quick too as long as you aren't comparing it to a Viper or a Vette (we'll leave those to it's turbo charged 911 big brother). The car had a lot of style and was a blast to drive. Due to a bit of overselling in the US market, they are actually quite affordable now. You can pick up higher mileage drivers for less than $10K today, and even when I bought this car good ones could be had in the low $20's.
When I finally sold it, this car went to a very nice gentleman in Colorado. I might purchase another Boxster someday. I think I would prefer this one in an automatic, and perhaps a "louder" color, and would also certainly prefer the "S" version. It's a car that everyone can drive. It does everything well without doing anything great. The Boxster is a legitimate candidate for the title of 'Ultimate Weekender'.
