3legs Posted 31December, 2018 Report Share Posted 31December, 2018 Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the "S" with a 3.2 motor come out in a later year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 1January, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 1January, 2019 No, not according to my ULTIMATE HISTORY OF PORSCHE book (which is a UK book) and it says the 3.2, 246BHP Boxster S hit the streets in 1999 . As per below, we may have been a bit slower getting them than the UK? Not an expert on the release year here though, you may be right. They apparently came out with 17" wheels as per below.... The one for sale has 19" inch wheels on it. They may look alright, but from memory...and I think you may have mentioned it recently, they larger wheels can cause all sorts of handling problems?????

Typ9xx Posted 1January, 2019 Report Share Posted 1January, 2019 There's a lot of dreaming on carsales. I think you can distill it down to 2 scenarios: 1. Float it on the market and see what happens, or, 2. Entirely delusional. Either way that one's at least 15k over the odds. 59 minutes ago, Niko said: haha Of course....never thought of that strategy.....second oldest trick in the book... Oldest trick in the book being leave house with said car/motorcycle/mountain bicycle, "object", and return with new/newer/better object in same colour???? 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
