    My 355 search has not fared well. 4 bad PPIs and I am not sure the 355 has that wow factor for me as far as performance. I have a Ruf and an 04 996 TT cabriolet as my daily driver.

    What's the 512 bbi like. Not too many around me to test drive. I think the car looks great. I am not really looking for blazing accelleration, but I am a bit spoiled. Former daily driver was a 750 hp 2001 TT 996.

    Does anyone know this car:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6212&item=4548744633&rd=1

    What is a reasonable price for it. What are the downsides to such a car. If I bought it I would want to drive it maybe 4,000 to 5,000 miles a year. Is that feasible with a 512 bbi. I am not concerned about resale value.

    This auction is over, but if the information is correct and the car checks out, its a $75,000+ car. Good mileage, good colors, and the major service may have been performed which is worth $7500.

    You have some great daily drivers, the Boxer will not perform as well as those more modern cars.

    But, at the end of the day, the Boxer says Ferrari on it. Your other cars do not. That, is worth the price of admission.

    Looked over and drove this car two months back. A nice car with only minor cosmetic issues such as bubbling paint in one or two spots.Has MSD ignition already installed.
