boxster question

They're buying it. Looking forward to geting a chance to drive it. I'm excited for them. I thought it was an 09, i just relooked at the listing and realized it was an 11 and feel even better recommending it.

That's a pretty great price.

Where does this cargo net go? It was laying in the rear trunk. We can't find any hookups for it.

I'm pretty certain that goes in the rear trunk, not the frunk.

It was laying on the floor in the rear. We searched pretty thoroughly for places to hook it to but found nothing.

I got to drive it about 50 miles today on a mix of all sorts of roads with the top up and top down. It is so very different than what I am used to. The transmission system is amazing, clutch take up is great, gear selections are buttery, etc. Best manual I've ever driven. The amount of chassis/steering information is overwhelming at first. Almost too much, but when I got out of it and got in the e46, the BMW felt like rubber. The amount of storage between the trunk and frunk is awesome. We had to make a stop at tractor supply and load up on 50lb bags of chicken food. We got 3 in the trunk and 1 in the furnk, but could have easily put another 4 up front if need be.

The one thing I didn't like was chassis felt like it shifted right/left over certain bumps. Not a chassis twist/convertible thing, more of a car bouncing on the road feeling (best way I can describe it). I'm not feeling great today, but I got a little carsick from the amount of movement in the car. Power was just OK, torque was shit compared to the N55 in my 1er. I'd definitely want an S if I was looking for one.

It was very interesting. I didn't come out of the test drive feeling like I had to have it, but I'd like to drive it again back to back w/ my 1er to compare. At first blush, the 1er makes a better daily driver, but the way the boxster made the e46 feel so disconnected was pretty impressive.

I can't remember where the hooks were -- been over 3.5 years since I sold the Boxster... I think they are on the sides of the trunk, near the floor -- the net is more of a cover to hold things down than a net to hold things up (like some of the Nissan care nets).

If you lay it flat in the trunk and stretch it out , you should see the hooks there.

Its also possible the hooks come with the net an that net came out of another car

How are the tires? A car like that needs nice rubber and just around the right pressures. I never had a base, but right around 30f/32r should be good. Too much and it'll bounce.

rears are about done. It's on Pilot Sports. Tpms said 30/31 all around
