Some photos of my 987S

Taken today. I forgot to dress the tires. Oh well.

It was very bright (and the white car doesn't help), so other than rough framing, I couldn't see squat. And I had just a few minutes during lunch. I just snapped away in full auto.

Very nice, and you scored it at a great time... The used market has dried up now, no deals to be found.

I washed, clayed, washed again, and FMJ'd the M3 today. Now, it's parked outside and getting rained on.

I noticed that because the latest Excellence has a market update on mid-engined P-cars, and they said '07's in excellent condition are worth $42K. And of course it's near the end of the top-down season and they usually undervalue cars. That I got it for less than that as a CPO 4 months ago does seem to suggest prices ar holding. Oh and 987S are worth exactly the same as Crocs despite the 5K+ delta when new.

Not so according to my galves subscription... 07 Cayman S costs about 1500-2000 more than a 07 Boxster S.
