Could start a mudgeon chain reaction of someone here picking up your Boxster...

If I were to sell the 991 (not sure if I would) I don’t think trading it in would be an option ... I think the trade in value is A LOT less than retail on a manual low mileage manual 991.1S.

As I’m typing this just the thought of selling it bothers me ...

I doubt I'd be able to, but I'd love to do something stupid and update the Miata.

To get an idea, go to Carvana's website, enter your info about the car, and get an offer.

Almost done watching ... in the middle of part 2 ... not sure if this link will cost me more or less money
Glad you found it useful. Yeah he's very thorough. I think he also did something similar for the 991.2 if you end up going that direction (though i'm sure most of its the same).

I'm liking mine more and more. It really helps that my wife enjoys it (she's taken it to work 3 of the last 5 days). I wouldn't get a PDK though. I think the blue S that you drove is still at that dealership.

Chances of the 991.2 are slim, love that car but am getting pretty hooked on the 992 ...

I thought the blue car was great but I really do not want another manual ..
If I went with the 991.2 or even the Corvette (though I am majorly leaning towards the 992) I would most likely keep the 991 ... I would just need to reconsider the lift and have it placed in the garage I really didn’t think would be so convenient but the only place it works out.

I’ve gotten that a few times in all the months of doing this. It usually works an hour later. Not sure it will for your car, but I’d try it again. Only takes a moment...

I tried my 2 cars earlier out of curiosity. Got a strong number on the 340 ($2k less than I paid) but got the same message about stumping the algorithm on the X5. That doesn’t surprise me though - expected very thin data there and definitely the type of car a human needs to put a number on.
