You will love it. I had one before my CLK, way more reliable,
but a little more rough on the ride. Small price to pay to throw
down a Porsche key when having drinks with the guys. :p

some dmv wouldn't pass the inspection if you don't know how to "find" the engine for them, happened to me and took a while to "find" for it. they have to see the engine to consider found by the way. lol. nice looking car tho.

Nice trade up...

Mind if I ask what your deal was ? I've been considering the same move from a '00 CLK Coupe to a Boxster S. I'm not crazy about trading in as the wholesale values on CLK's aren't so good. I've had the CLK on Autotrader with little activity. That's a '00 Boxster S right.
