Beautiful car and rare to see, congrats! Don't worry about all the issues people keep bringing up about the 987.1s, keep up with maintenance, warm up the car properly, drive often, and enjoy it! I have a 2008 RS 60 Spyder and specifically bought it because of the way it looked and I love the sound of the pre DFI engines. 987.1s are one of the most modern analog cars you can buy from Porsche, it's the best of both worlds in my opinion.

Maybe his response was lacking some tact, but I don't see anything inaccurate. Lots of "special edition" cars out there, Porsche or otherwise, that are really just sticker and paint packages with no real performance advantage. They are money grabs by the manufacturer, plain and simple. Most knowledgeable buyers don't pay any extra for things like that.
There are exceptions: the RS60, for example, had enough unique and beneficial options that it offers some actual value over a lesser-optioned car.
