BG,

Yeah ..  I know Lik is actually a big baller!

Aiya .. a faster car, not always faster on track ga ...

Even u give me a lambo ... vs a pro driver with a miata ... can beat me!

EL: your "average" income can drive luxury car is correct in USA .. not in Canada la.. (ok, western Canada)

Payment for a Boxster can be as long as ~ $600US/month, vs $1200/month in Canada.

Lik gor ..  high 20K range .. is a bit low la.. may be in US, or high km one ..

But $30K range does make sense, (private deal, no warranty, may be grey import US car)

As you said, buying one isn't hard, some late 90's Boxster are under $20K, and they are still great car, however, service cost can be high, but good thing for living in Vancouver is, if you want to save $ from your pocket, you can drive to US for service, (and do shopping etc in the same time) ie: oil service is only ~ $300US, vs $500Cad, tire/brake etc are all 20-40% less down south ..

Depends what you compare la..  compare to Ferrari/Lambo ..  still much much more "reasonable", even compare to Lotus/AM/Bentley etc ..  most service, no longer need to "釣副偈落來" ga la..  most the work can be done from UNDER, just take both rear wheel/penals off ..  service cost probably same or slightly more then M6/M5.

Anyway...  another plus for you, as you are living in the US ... paying ~1/2 price for tire compare to us!   say a 305/30/19 performance tire, ~ $600 plus here, plus $200 labour to install (4) vs ~ $300-350 in US, and $80 to install ...


Davidcooper: I already addressed what Lik said, older RR Porsche do need to drop down the engine for most the work, but not newer one, same as Older Ferrari/Lambo.  By the way, don't STEP on people with miata, no matter you drive Porsche, Lambo or Bentley, Miata is a damn good car.

Well said EL .. every car has different character ... a 599 is better looking and better performance then a Camry, but to some people, Camry is a better car..  

Something like 370Z, 335iS etc, are great value sporty car, and they are not bad on track, can keep up with 911, 430 etc, but laps after laps ..  can see why Porsche/Ferrari cost more la...

Anyway, keep this thread peaceful la.. some people just drive a RSX, some people drive 911 .. mojority people, car is just transportation..  ^_^

Just like some girls don't mind to use Coach handbags, some can afford H bags ... no gid deal wor!
