The price of 2nd hand performance cars seems to be dropping (or is it my imagination?), and it looks like I may be able to afford a new-shape Boxster in the spring. Whilst I'm enjoying not having to make any more payments on my Civic Type-R, I'm itching for a 2-seat convertible, and I've always hankered after a Porsche since I was a kid. I'm looking at the figures for the 2.7 and 3.2S in the new shape (987) and my heart is saying go for the 3.2S, whereas my head is saying stick with the 2.7.
A decent 2005/05 2.7 is going for about £18-19k trade (e.g this one with PASM and 18" S wheels), and 3.2S for £3-4k more. The 2.7 will be in the 2nd top VED bracket, compared to the 3.2S in the top.
Has anyone compared the 2.7 against the 3.2S? How much difference does the extra power and torque make?
