Deal or No Deal??
OK. Looking for some expert advice here.
I'm looking for a new car for the wife. She loves the Boxster but won't drive mine because she won't touch a stick. Yeah, I know, just stick with me here.(get it? stick? I kill myself)
Anyway, I'm looking for a nice used Boxster or S tip. I've found one in LA that I'm looking at:
'00 Boxster S
Tip
Silver 21K Miles
Normal options (Leather, DSP, Touring Package, Upgraded wheels)
I'm thinking that this is a pretty good deal if I can get it for around $26-27K. Nice commute car. Other than the fact that the Tip is just not what God intended for Porsche's, does that sound like a good deal? I've checked Kelly and it blues out for around $29K but they have so much wiggle room in their numbers, it's pretty crazy.
Any comments appreciated. Or if anyone wants to unload a 986 Tiptronic with low miles, let me know (West Coast only please).

That sounds like a good deal to me if all if as it should be. Wholesale on that car is around $24k usd so if you can buy it for $2k over you're doing well!

Price looks fair.
Let your wife pick her car. What does she want? What has she asked for in the past?
I made the mistake of picking one for her - even when she said she wanted me to, is was a mistake. I had not heard all the times she told me what she wanted as loud as I heard, "you pick." Oops. The test was, "are you listening to me, dear?" I didn't pass... Since I have recouped most of the loss.
Offer your wife advice with caution. What is her being happy with you worth?
Just my $0.02. From an expert... though my paying clients don't get it so directly.
