I know your not the biggest fan of these cars so thanks for holding back :thumbs: I completely agree with all your past comments re noise the 981 with pse makes. The 718 does not come close.

I'm sure Tom knows all this. You're not telling me he hasn't made 100 different configurations of this car before settling on the one he's chosen.

You can't beat the experience of speccing and buying a new car :thumb: The 718 is just not for me, It does not mean I don't like the owners but some people can't accept that lol. You obviously know what you like and the best car to give you that and your lucky enough to be able to afford it, that's a great place to be.
A FI car will always give you more options to tune from the 'one size fits all" spec manufacturers are forced to meet, the fact you have a clear plan / path to explore that is awesome and again makes it a great choice for you. Not many risk a warranty on cars of this value but I don't think you will resist for long :worship:

If you fancy a drive out with the new car, am sure we would all be up for it....
ragpicker said:Tom, yes I have indeed. Much preferred it to the 991.2 which was a total disappointment and essentially and Audi in disguise. The Cayman is now where its at for me, much more like a 911 than the new 911s (997.2/991.1 onwards - excluding GT and turbo cars).
I'm getting my turbo back on Friday after nearly 18 months without it so I'm going to see if I fall back in love with it. If not I can see myself in something similar to yours or a 997.2 turbo.
I've never done car finance before but its amazing how affordable these cars can be when you trade in/put a decent deposit on and have a balloon.
Plus, I'm not sure how much I would get for a modified turbo in the current climate, even with a very expensive brand new fully forged engine rebuild. The easiest thing if I'm not back in love with it might be to trade it in for a newer model...
Of course the leggy Boxster will be staying no matter what happens, thats genuinely the best car I've ever owned
