Guest tbatst2000 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Not selling here Can't help thinking he'd stand a better chance of selling if he just dropped the price by 20K.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DissipatedYouthIsValuable Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Can't help thinking he'd stand a better chance of selling if he just dropped the price by 20K.... It's a newbuild 3 bed house. I reckon a drop from £1.27M to about £250k should shift it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicotineman Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 A bloke in my town tried this once. Think he did sell eventually, but can't remember the price, sorry. A good way of getting publicity rather than much of a price incentive if you ask me. The local papers love it.

It's angled so you just can't read the registration - I reckon it's a very early Boxster, so £20k is as cheeky as the house price.

Guest Bart of Darkness Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 So the 53-year-old came up with the novel idea of offering his beloved £20,000 Porsche Boxster free with the sale of the property. Yes, very novel idea. I'm sure no one's ever done that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrliberty Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 but truthfully, whoever siad it up top is spot on, noone who buys this house is going to want his sh&11y boxter., Reason No 1 for having a boxster? Can't afford a 911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smell the Fear Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Reason No 1 for having a boxster?Can't afford a 911 The Boxster is a great deal at £10k second hand. It's a real porsche and by any real measure the performance is superb. Only a wannabe macho castrato would dismiss it as a "girl's car".

Guest Shedfish Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Reason No 1 for having a boxster?Can't afford a 911 too much Clarkson imho - the Boxster has better weight distribution (centre of mass is in the centre, not in the ar5e), so it's more nimble down the lanes, and won't kill you unless you drive like a kamikaze pilot. then there's the 93 million miles of headroom The Boxster is a great deal at £10k second hand. It's a real porsche and by any real measure the performance is superb. Only a wannabe macho castrato would dismiss it as a "girl's car". agree totally. that one in the pic is a 986 - you can tell by the 'fried egg' headlights, which means the 20k price is cheeky, even if it's an 'S', and even if it's an 03 with 14000 on the clock. & when Darling's new tax bands hit you'll be wanting a pre March 01... 20k gets you the 987 Boxster (or a 911 if you absolutely have to flop your kn0b on the village green) (damn, sorry, wrong forum...)

Bingley Bloke Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It's angled so you just can't read the registration - I reckon it's a very early Boxster, so £20k is as cheeky as the house price. I'm a bit of a saddo when it comes to cars, so I can tell from the contours of the front bumper that it's not a very early Boxster, but the facelifted version which was on sale for a short time before the more major redesign that created the Boxster that's in the showrooms today. As such this car is worth between the mid teens and low twenties, depending on mileage and condition. Personally though I'd prefer a very early one so I wasn't caught-up in the punitive road tax bands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talksalot81 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It's angled so you just can't read the registration - I reckon it's a very early Boxster, so £20k is as cheeky as the house price. It is very clearly a Boxster but it is either not all that early (i.e. 2003 or later) or has had significant 'facelifting work'. £20k is not unusual for a Boxster of 4 or 5 years old. What you have to remember is that residual values on Boxsters are better than almost any other car you can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachman Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 try getting rid of (as opposed to asking) £20K for a 5 year old (either 52,03 or 53) Boxster, whether an S or not. You'll be extremelly lucky. As others have said, I'd be buying a 2000 S manual with full leather and 18's with about 70K on it and trying to batter a seller down to £13K.

LivingWithTheInlaws Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It's angled so you just can't read the registration - I reckon it's a very early Boxster, so £20k is as cheeky as the house price.Having said that he's probably hiding the reg because it's "TO5 53R" or similar It's a post facelift (2002ish - 2005) 2.7 Boxster. £20k is probably about right based on other cars I have seen advertised but, as with houses, whether they are selling or not is another thing.
