Congrats, glad you finally pulled the trigger.

I would love to see more shots of the interior when you get a chance.

Thx all! I have a special weakness for 987 Boxster S as that was my first Porsche — a triple black 06 Boxster S which I bought new and enjoyed for 6 wonderful and trouble free years and 40k miles. Have missed it ever since. Just picking up where I left off, I guess.

This one looks much better. I don’t think I had ever seen the color combo on ANY Porsche before. I dropped my 981 search and contacted the seller the moment I saw the OP pic. Looks stunning in real life. Some more pics (recent, by previous owner):

Maybe it was just my searches, but it seems rare to find cars with this unique interior color that still get the body color tunnel console. Love the contrast, love the car! Great find.

Yes, that gt silver tunnel console matches the rest of the interior silver accents. The whole car (except for the black tires and red calipers and tail-lights) follows a two-tone GTsilver/brown theme everywhere. Already has that "vintage" look.

Curious why this interior hadn't been ordered more. Is it a current option on new cars? Best Porsche interior, hands down, and it looks like it will only get better with patina patterns over time, like an old horse saddle.
