haha except porsche's are getting a bit **** lately in terms of warranty believe it or not.
a few friends have gt2's and the dealer will not warranty the car if it's been on track. even getting brakes replaced (which costs in the range of 35K) is not warrantied for even street use... so i think all dealerships are bad in some way.

Maybe true, but wouldn't the S2000 do the same for a lot less? How about buying a used Miata for $6K and throw a blower on it? The only reason to buy a Boxster, and I mean the only reason, is to say you own a Porsche. They may be decent handling cars but are not worth the money. Not even close to being worth the money.
