Porsche Boxter Review
Some say that the Boxster is for anyone who cannot afford a 9-11 yet still wants a Porsche, but the Boxster is worth every penny, if you have the money to spend. It's beautifully crafted, and you get what you pay for with this one, the materials used are sumptuous and quality rich. It's an expensive car, starting at £34,000, but it will make you stand out from the crowd in a cloud of elegance and sophistication. With a soft top designed for showing off, you will turn heads, but beware the avid burglar with a Stanley knife who wants to make off with your possessions.
It handles well at both high and low speeds, turns on the head of a pin and offers really powerful anti lock brakes. The engine is quiet, so there is no need to shout over the hum as you get to faster speeds. The steering wheel is adjustable for added comfort, and when the sun is shining, put the roof down! For ease, it goes down when stationary and in transit, up to speeds of 31mph, and goes up and down within 12 seconds, to protect you from the naturally changeable English weather. If the rain starts, you'll be dry in no time!
Inside the car it's really comfy, and there is plenty of room in the boot for you to store your luggage. The boot is split into two compartments for ease of separation, and is the roomiest for cars in this bracket.
The Boxster offers stability control, and comes complete with an alarm and deadlocks for added protection.
If you have the money to do so, then investing in the Boxster is a great idea. The value of the car depreciates very little over the years, and should you try to sell after three, you will still retain 70 percent of the value, which isn't something to be sniffed at.
When driving your new Porsche, make sure that you have comprehensive Car Insurance Cheap policies are readily available online, and you can save time and money by doing it this way.

Cost of insurance for 1998 Porsche Boxter?
Hi, I'm a high school student and I recently purchased my uncle's 1998 Porsche Boxter. However, I would like to know the cost of insuring this car. Please don't give me websites, I would actually like a figure without inputting a ton of information into an untrustworthy site. I'll give 10 points to the best answer.
Information that may be useful:
-high school student (first year of driving)
-GPA: 4.0
-Drivers Ed: taken
-Gender: male
Thanks in advance for any helpful answers! If you don't know for sure, an estimate would be appreciated as well.
First year of driving with what kind of record so far? This is, of course, impossible to answer with a simple figure. It will depend on where you live (U.S.? State? U.K.? Country? etc.); on your insurance situation: whether with your family on an existing policy, on a separate policy, or something else; on the city in which you live; and on what insurance companies do business where you live (Not all companies are licensed in every local).
It's not an all-wheel drive (Some companies give a discount for this; others charge extra.) or a turbocharged vehicle (always an extra charge). It is a performance vehicle. Most Importantly, you're a newly-licensed male driver. At least in the U.S., that's the kiss of death for insurance rates.
Let's guess a bare minimum of $1,000 a year for full coverage (If the car is financed through a bank, etc., you'll have to carry full coverage.) -- if you've never had a ticket and you're adding the car to an existing family policy with which the insurance company has had good experience. If you've had a bunch of speeding tickets, an at-fault accident, etc., you may not be able to insure the car at any price. This is just a guess, though it's based on personal experience from first car through owner of a family policy with three drivers and four cars on it. I'd actually expect more like $1,400 to $1,800 per year for you and your Boxster.
