I did not know that. Was black headliner stock then?

Very decent price if it's a tiptronic in nice shape, great price if it's a six-speed in nice shape! Alcantara headliner is standard, as is full leather, though boxster red leather was a $440 option. Carbon bits where notorious for cracking on the 996 generation cars... Fortunately since turbo and regular 996 interior parts are interchangable, it's not hard to find things like used replacement non-carbon steering wheels at good prices.

Full leather and Alcantara headliner was standard on the Turbos

They were almost all fairly minor cosmetic options. Obviously exterior/interior color choices and tiptronic, but beyond that, the bulk of the options where interior trim packages in wood, carbon, aluminum look, leather or paint, but far fewer individual trim options or package permutations than what later cars offered. Also offered a few other tweaks like seat emblems, wheel emblems, colored seat belts, A couple of stereo upgrades (crappy digital, crappy cd, really crappy pcm), a couple of seat upgrades (sport, soft look leather, heat, and lumbar support)
Really every performance or driver oriented feature was standard, nothing to add other than maybe sunroof delete and arguably for skinny folks, sport seats.
In the case of the 2001 Turbo's, a 'loaded car' really meant nothing more than expensive trim pieces, many of which look pretty terrible on most cars ($6,000 for the maple wood package, eeeek on both price and looks!) or didn't hold up well (carbon).
2002 Turbo's introduced the optional aero kit.
2003 Turbo's introduced the optional X50 power kit and the typical-for-Porsche 30 pages of options.

2001 Turbo's came pretty well equipped and actually had very few options available, at least compared to the modern Porsche option sheets which usually have several hundred of options...

The radio has been replaced with an Alpine pop out screen. Still has a panel with a bunch of audio buttons that is factrory and still hooked up with an alpine amp. Haven't looked into what radio that was with. I'm sure the option codes says what it is.
Thanks for the info!

my first reaction was that it was a great car, but it's 2wd, it doesn't indicate the level of service it's received over the years (coolant fittings, PS res, clutch), it needs rear tires, it has body damage behind the front passenger wheel, and the radio doesn't work.

^^^It's a turbo (aftermarket, M96 engine), not a Turbo.
