The BaT thread for the cars we won't buy, but kinda wish we would

Most of the white cars did as well.

I think if and when we move this Boxster on I'll be considering a Cayman. Marisa really loves having the Porsche around, but I'm just losing my interest in having a convertible.

Cayman is a great idea.

Plus, the Caymans are so cheap right now in comparison to a) the performance they offer, and b) all other Porsches.

They really are a sleeper. And, I think the later models actually look better than the 911.

Nice to have heat & ventilation, I use both quite a bit. 14-ways are the comfiest, better than my lighter/sportier 18-ways, wish I had them for longer trips.

The only real miss is PTV and I don't think it's that important. And, to be honest, I couldn't see selling my car for any less, not that I'm selling.

Thanks for the feedback. It’s both the options and the mileage that has this car at it’s current price as you and JV have stated. I really don’t want PASM and the sport suspension seems to be the way to go. With the Nor Cal tax rate at what it is I am trying to stay in the low 40’s and there are low’ish mileage (under 30K) 13 and 14’s out there but not with the options and color I want. I am kind of on JV’s train here (Blue, White or MAYBE Yellow). This one popped up and made me drool because its pretty much set up the way I would want it.

As JV also stated I just need to keep looking for a similar spec with higher mileage. Oh well the search continues. It’s fine since I am perfectly content with the E39 as always so I have time.

I am not interested in this RS4 but my god that P car color they painted it is down right beautiful.

A big no to this one. There are many nicer RS4's around. Many are in decent grays and silvers (Avus e.g.) or nice blues... I don't dig this repaint.

Despite having red interiors in both my cars (340 & Boxster), I don't like it in this one (or the WB/saturation is off to lurid effect).
