TD, is the interior of this car Dark Blue? It looks it on my computer, but I can't tell.
The car looks very nice, basically what I would want in terms of equipment and it appears to be in good condition. Yet, as much as I love blue, that color combo does not make me say "wow!" Hmmm...

The kids will be going to a daycare starting in the Fall and I will need to drive them daily. I could keep it, but after driving it basically daily from march until then, I feel it is a royal waste to keep it parked. I rather drive something fun daily. Tentatively, the plan is to sell it in late Summer/Fall "tough it out" until the next spring with the Jeep and V70R, and get a sports sedan in Spring of 2011 (ideally ED on an M3 sedan, but we'll see). At that point we'll consolidate into one family vehicle but what is not yet clear.
I would love to get a 987S again many years down the road. It really is an incredible car. I'm already eyeing that Spyder. The 987S is still worth way too much to keep alongside the new/ish sedan. It looks like I got a good enough deal that I should not take a massive bath considering the privilege of having driven a very modern Porsche with full warranty for two convertible seasons. |

I just may, because I love Fall in NE and it's late in the convertible season. I won't fire sell it if I can still get 3 more months of even sporadic driving. So if it sits over the winter, so be it.
Again, this is the (likely) plan, but who knows. I may just keep it. |

I'll probably change my mind again about a million times before then, but I am in the market again in May 2011 so I will keep you in mind if you still have it.

I wouldn't call selling a Boxster for a fat pig with shitty balance a "step up."
