Is the GT TDi not 150bhp???
Not that it matters realy...its still a Golf diesel....:p0 -
id take my old TDI golf over your boxter anyday nearly 60 more ft/lbs of torque and 50mpg!
Plus i will gladly race you up a steep incline with 4 adults in each car(oh wait you cant get four adults in yours) i jest i jest
also I much prefer my leather recaros to your seats and the BBS to your twistys
On a slightly more serious note:
I had respect for you at the start of this thread but your dodging of certain questions and your mocking of other posters has lessened that,sure you have been ridiculed but why rise to it?
Also
What cars go for and what cars actually fetch in the end are 2 different things,i recently sold the above mentioned golf,when advertising it i checked carzone etc and lesser spec gols with higher mileage were going for upto 2 grand more than i asked for and got(within 5 days of advertsing) im sure those golfs are still for sale and will be for a very long time!
Also when some one else mentions an experience they have had with a car they were selling it doesnt mean that they are comparing it to yours!!
As for the guy who called the pump dusse 1.9 stoneage please,tharts a kin to so called motorheads saying the boxter is not a real porsche!!!
A little off topic but the old petrol/diesel debate is what is stone age esp when you have diesel engines like the 5.0TDI and 3.0 TDI vag engines(not to mention the le mans winning audi) and the 335 diesel engine.0 -

Hate to dis agree but the old ones were 115, the new ones with PD are either 130 or 150. Badged as gti in uk, with the same spec in suspension and interior, thats why i took the badge off, in case any snot nosed oike thought it was a petrol that just pissed away from him up the hillto be fair im not sure there is such a thing as a gt tdi, not officially anyway so it can even be the 115bhp version if the owner chooses
150 has bigger turbo and front mounted intercooler
oh and it says "gt tdi" on the log book0 -

Someone in the market for a "fun" car, willing to look at cars 10 yrs or so old and with 25 - 30K to spend is really spoilt for choice. For example the Lotus Elise, Audi TT or thier pick of any number of TVR's. If they are happy to move around on age and LHD then M3, M5 and even the big daddy 911 are also available so there is a lot of competition. Personally I have never liked the styling of the Boxter and wouldn't be interested in one but - like I said - if the OP is willing to stand around and wait a few months someone will come along and take it off his hands. how long he waits will depend on teh ad re-write, the photos and the level of his price drop.

an audi tt, over a boxster
I'd take an Audi TT over a Boxter any day of teh week.
The TT is an amazing piece of styling, still looks the biz now. The interior is fantastic and - with the coupe - you get an extra pair of seats. Only big enough for kids or shopping but better than none. With a 1.8 it's cheaper to run, tax and insure. It's a standard VAG engine so servicing and parts are cheaper. It's not a Porsche so you don't get the attitude from other drivers (ever try pulling into stop start traffic in a 911? It takes a while). And it's not like the Audi is slow; 0-60 in 7.6 seconds and a top speed of 139 on a first gen car. Slower than the Boxster but not signifigant enough to worry you in the real world. Handling on the TT is also top notch and the advantage of all wheel drive for the 365 days of rain we get.
In skilled hands the Porsche will be faster round a track. And it has a better badge. Beyond that the TT has every advantage.

an audi tt, over a boxster
indeed...........there's a 270bhp TT outside my door, and cost an awful lot less than a Boxster - and has a nicer interior.
The only thing stopping me buying a Boxster is the lack of rear seats - I already have an old MX-5, and that gets almost no use, as it is. Hence looking to change to a 993, or maybe even a 996 in lieu of my 968.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
