Right im wanting shot of the RX soon ,
The 2 choices i have are the Porker and S2K , i dont want to tune / change anythin on either of them (only the wheels maybe) apart from that they are staying stock.
What would you choose and why?
aint gonna be new ones there gonna be first off the line'ish ones.

hmmm id say the boxster is nice. A freind had one of the first 9 years ago  on a P plate. its numer was less than 20. 17 or something.
Any way it had 911 wheels on it, optional everything and a hard top.
Nice car but servicing was a bit steep for a car of that price.
Engine out for a clutch change and stuff I think. So if your looking at older ones there things soon start to stack up.
Cheesey will be around all the time if you get an s2k.
Why has rex got to go?

The Rex doesnt have to go , but i want a soft top for the summer , and this is the time of the year to buy one, I have a Honda dealership where i live so that is good but the Porsche has the badge 
I wanted an S2K before the RX but the insurance was a bit steep then.

I would definitely get the S2K!!
A Porsche Boxster is just trying too hard. You must really want a Porsche to buy one of those

Out of your choices (due to the fact it would be an old boxter) I'd get the S2000. But if it was the new boxter boxter-s then i'd get that...

Yes but its still a poor mans Porsche. If you had more money you would not buy a Boxster - you would buy a 911. Its the 1.2 Trip of the Porsche world

a top the range boxster is about 40k when u add extras if not more for the boxter s which is aorund 45k, the 911s only start at 55 i think, hardly poor mans really

You would want a 911 though - well, I would 
I dunno - I can always see them getting asked "so, didn't you fancy a 911 then?".
Boxsters are nice though but I would get the S2K fo sho
