Default New to me Spyder

Sold my 2018 Saffron Yellow Turbo S and purchased a 2016 Boxster Spyder. I wanted to return to a more straightforward sports car (6-speed manual) with an NA engine that I can "get on" a little before hitting jailable speed. Mostly use my Porsche as a weekend car, not a daily driver. The pros and cons of both cars are compelling, but in the end, I went with a CPO Spyder with 3500 miles on the clock. The car arrives next week, and I will be performing a complete detail inside and out and may have PPF redone depending on its condition. Build sheet and dealer photos below.

Additional Equipment
581 Storage net in passenger footwell
583 Smoking package
619 Bluetooth® Mobile phone preparation
CAC Rear Side Air Intakes Painted
CXX Custom Tailoring Option (special wishes that require further communication)
P11 Full bucket seats
P9G Infotainment Package with BOSE® Surround Sound System
ZAB Ornamental Porsche Crest
085 Extended Range Fuel Tank, 16.91 gal
087 Spyder Classic Interior Package
0Q White
24 Leather Interior with Alcantara in Garnet Red/Black
446 Wheel center caps with colored Porsche Crest
450 Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake(PCCB)
546 Supplemental Safety Bars in ExteriorColor
551 Net-type wind deflector
573 2-zone automatic air conditioning

Congrats on a car that will definitely help you return to your roots - pure sports car driving.

I had had to look up Saffron Yellow, what an amazing color. Your 911 Turbo S must have been stunning.

Color is spectacular, so is the car just a bit too much car for street fun. Looking forward to manual with NA engine.

One of the obvious “special wishes” must be the carbon dash bits. I don’t believe this was available with the classic interior.

Piling on with the congrats This car is mid-engine heaven and I'm guessing once you take delivery you will find the driving characteristics noticeably different from those of your prior Turbo S.

+1 Thought seriously about this color combo and almost went this route.

Eagle eye! First time I've seen carbon interior trim on the Spyder Classic interior.
