    Another Newbie

    Hi,I'm Ian from Eastbourne, UK.. just joined up this week, thought i'd say hi - i'm about to take delivery of a 3.4S, speed yellow, turbo wheels, ParkAssist, heated seats, yellow belts etc, but not too much else as i went a bit OTT on a 986 a few years ago...!

    Yellow! Well, that certainly would add some colour to the line-up! Congrats, and welcome to the board.

    Congratulations on your new car, I looked at Yellow and although stunning I was not brave enough to go for a bright colour. I see you are Eastbourne are you getting it from OPC Mid-Sussex?

    Hi I picked up my 2007 2.7 Boxster this week from Mid-Sussex. Have a great day collecting it and good luck getting an freebies out of them - they are really tight and they try to make you feel bad for asking.
    Get at least mats and another small item for the car. Please put some pics on when you get time I would really like to see the car it will be stunning.
    Enjoy the collection and take your time to make sure the car is mint.

    Welcome to the board
    Nope, I believe you are the first here, and prolly also the only one with a yellow Boxey.
    I thought of ordering a yellow 3.4 myself to replace my 986s, but I'm just not sure about the resale value and if I'll grow tired of such a loud "look-at-me" color. Any thoughts?

    Bournemouth are also incredibly tight fisted. Floor mats, model Boxster, bottle of champagne. And get this ONE key fob! Asked for another so we could identify his and her keys for the memory seats and was refused point blank. A 50p key fob after having paid Pounds50k for the car. Got two with the last car, the excuse this time was they had to fit genuine Porsche floor mats. Left a bad taste, I'm afraid of an otherwise excellent dealer.

    Only got mats and oil mate, and the oil wasn't Mobil 1 either. I DREAM of getting champers and more importantly, the model car. Think yourself lucky!

    .....and then they send you a survey a week later to ask what you think of the buying experience.

    yes, got the free oil as well - forgot about that and it's the proper stuff!
