As a basically impatient person, I think I know the answer to my question, but I want to pose it anyway.
What are the net pros/cons of a 2008 Boxster S vs a 2009-2012 S?
In my recent search, initially I was looking at any 3.4 S's so 2007-2012. What I found nationally was a TON of 2008's and a few '09-12 cars.
What I really want is the equipment in the '08 RS60, especially for the Sport Seats. However (and this is where the patience part comes in), there are NO 987.2 cars that I've seen (stick or PDK) with sport seats. I've driven a '10 w/ the normal seats and was underwhelmed w/ the bolster support. My present car has very supportive, comfortable Koenig leather seats so I'm at a disadvantage moving to a Boxster from those, but I'm coming to grips w/ it.
What I really want is an RS60 w/ 987.2 3.4 transplanted into it. I;m sure 987 owners feel the no-IMS argument is over-blown and, at ~ $28-30k for a nicer, low-mileage RS60, I can buy the same level of low-mile 987.2. Hoping some 987.2 owner w/ a silver car and red, brown or black sport seats comes forward soon.
Do I just have to be patient? Or, am I delusional that at some point 987.2 owners w/ sport seats are going to sell or trade their cars in 2019? Suggestions?
Merry Christmas,
John
