There are cars..and then there are Porsches. When looking for that premier sports car that doesn't scrimp on luxury, this fiercely independent German carmaker, may force you to look into buying a used Porsche.
Porsche's reputation has been largely built on the Porsche 911, and not much has changed in 40 years. This legendary rear- engine sport scar with dual over-head cams and standard 6-speed manual transmission, proves that though there may be competitors to this car, this is truly an automobile in its own class. But purchasing a used Porsche 911 isn't your only option; you may want to look at buying a used Porsche Boxter as well. This German reply to the `retro' 2-seat craze, carries not only a robust water-cooled Porsche engine and optional tiptronic automatic transmission that allows for manual shifting, but also has an optional feature called `Child-Detection System.' (I have no idea what that feature means, but it sounds really cool and sophisticated.)
Try Hoehn Porsche in Carlsbad (6800 Avenida Encinas. 760-438-4434) or Pioneer Centres in San Diego (9020 Miramar Road. 858-695-3000) in finding the pre-owned Porsche of your dreams. They'll be sure to help.and they might even know what a 'Child Detection System' is.
