Re: The selling of my Boxster
Mike,
When I bought my 928 S4 a few years ago, I strategically hid '150' one-hundred dollar bills in 10 envelopes, then stashed the 10 envelopes in various pockets of a pair of cargo pants I was wearing.
I then took off in a rental car (with the cargo pants on, lol), and drove from Nashville TN to Orange County NY (didn't feel like flying) for a mini-road trip to purchase the car. When I arrived at the seller's home, I test drove the car a bit. The seller had previously e-mailed me a completed PPI document, which I had my Nashville mechanic review.
When I was ready to buy the car, I more or less did the same thing. I retrieved the 15 envelopes from the various pockets of my cargo pants, lol, and started pulling out the 150 one-hundred dollar bills. Yes, if you're counting, I paid $15K (in 2007) for an '88 S4 with 62k miles on it. The seller didn't want a check, said he prefered cash.
Anyway, I've always enjoyed reading your posts on the Boxster Board(s). Sorry to see your Boxster S go. Hopefully you will stick around here. Maybe even return in another Pcar.
Regards,
Rick

I then took off in a rental car (wit h the cargo pants on, lol), and drove from Nashville TN to Orange County NY (didn't feel like flying) and drove two days (mini vacation for me) a min-road trip to purchase the car. When I arrived at the seller's home, I test drove the car a bit. The seller had previously e-mailed me a completed a PPI document, which I had my Nashville mechanic review.
