Hello there.
I intend to buy a new Boxster 2.7 very shortly, and would appreciate advice on the following topics from those who have " been there - done that!" .
Firstly, being on a budget (aren' t we all!) I need to make sure my options list is sufficient, yet not too long. In trying to balance a good options package with affordability, I have come up with:
- Aircon, 17" wheels, wind deflector... all as ' probables' .
- And hard roof, metallic paint (blue), and PSM... as ' possibles' .
Leather would be nice - but it seems expensive, and I can' t really justify it. So we' ll probably just go for the standard ' Leatherette/Alcantara' interior.
Does all this sound sensible? Any superfluous or missing items?
Secondly, it looks like for Porsches, list price is what you pay. Is this true? Are there any discount available? How about haggling even for something as small as floor mats - Anyone been successful?
Finally - I realise that the Boxster has been out for a while now. And even though it has only just had a minor facelift, I' d hate not to have waited for the MY2004 before ordering, if there were significant changes over the MY2003 cars. Apart from that one ambiguous AutoExpress article, is there any ' word on the street' about a new Boxster model?
thank you very much for all help
