Personally I open and close the roof several times each drive.
Sometimes it starts raining, or it gets too hot from the sun or I want to have a proper conversation with my wife without raising my voice, or w\e - I can't imagine stopping and doing that long process every time.

When you combine all of that it seems silly to sacrifice so much just for a better looking car.
And if I am being honest the Boxster is indeed not the best looking convertible.
Yes, the 718 is significantly nicer than the 981 in my opinion - but the back, especially where it stores the roof, doesn't look very good.

I guess if that was the only deal breaker I would have probably went for the Spyder - but I don't want the stiffness of Spyder or the cabin noise - it will be a daily driver for me with some fun mountain roads in the weekend.

The rear of the Spyder is amazing, I meant that I am not a huge fan of the rear of the regular Boxster.

Three Wheelin'
Everyone uses their cars differently. For me, even though it clearly has much stronger street presence and more "exotic vibe", I couldn't really consider a Spyder. Throw in a pretty much mandatory ADM and you might as well tie a rock to it and throw it in the ocean.
And I didn't even get to some of the other options that are weirdly not available with the Spyder like entry and drive. I guess that fits with the "exotic" persona but I find it annoying in 2022 to be forced to use a key because it conflicts with the spirit of the canvas door handles.
The Spyder is just not a fit for a car that will be used frequently. But yes, it looks great.
Appreciate your input. Will remember the link part for next times.
Lock date is in a few weeks for this allocation (if I choose to take it, still not sure) and I configured this build myself.
Resale value is actually very important for me, so I will probably pass on the white interior, how about Beige?
The Chalk is OK-ish, I really wanted a more popping color but I didnt like the Python Green in person (which was my "dream color" since that car was presented).
But I also want an exterior color that will work with a brighter interior.
The European delivery is probably the only thing I am sure about
. I fantasized about that moment since I visited at the Porsche factory many years ago.
This will be my first Porsche, trying not to have any regrets on one hand but not spec it to 150k on the other.

I'm not a fan of Python Green either. I wanted to be but something about it just doesn't do it for me. I personally think beige could go with just about any color, but black or gentian blue may be the best fit. Also if you like Chalk consider Adventurine Green, go look at it in person if you can. It might be a good fit for what you're looking for. Close enough to grayscale "safety" but also classy and interesting. My only issue is that for some reason, Adventuring Green doesn't look as good to me on a Boxster as it does on a 911. But that's probably just me, I'm aware of that.

Yeah, for financed deals, seems like all the dealers are in cahoots with someone whereby the dealer insists on collecting the sales tax and then sending it in on your behalf.
But this seems to only be true for financed deals. From my experience, if you pay cash, you can insist that the dealer send you the MSO and then register the car wherever the heck you want.

It's frustrating but this store in particular doesn't want to sell GT cars out of state. I can't say that I know why, that's just what they want to do.

Keep the cars in state. Service their local customers first and try to get the buyer to sell the car back to them. It's now pretty damn common. Started about 5 years here. Seems logical.
