A masculine boxster! The sport buckets are a hoot.

Very Nice, I looked at a White with Red Interior when I bought my C2S. It is a hell of a car and if maintained and not driven much I would bet it holds its value better than any recent Porsche.

Very nice, and not too "girly" looking for a boxster.

Love it! I've always secretly lusted after a Boxster Spyder.

I've been afraid to pull the trigger for fear it may relegate my C2S to garage queen status.

Congrats and enjoy!

Yes- please lose the Porsche script at the bottom. I have never liked that either.

Wow, that's cool. I was half thinking of buying that exact car. I was at Rusnak Saturday and looked at it. Was it the one in Pasadena. If so, it's the one. I'm considering a Boxster Spyder. I'd love your thoughts on it. Congrats..

Do not lose the Porsche writing, that's part of what makes the Spyder cool...

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Yes this was the car at Rusnak. I was there on Saturday for the car clinic, and after one look, forked over the money for it and drove it home with my girlfriend following in the 997. It is completely immaculate for a black car not a single blemish or scratch, and was clear bra'd by the previous owner. Apparently this was one of 7 barely used vehicles he owned including an Aston and a Ferrari etc.

It was also incredibly difficult to find one with the sport buckets. Of the 7 or so CPO Spyders available right now in the country, this was the only one equipped as such.

Sorry guys the Porsche script stays! I also am not a fan of any scripts, but on certain special Porsches, if it comes this way from the factory, its the way it is meant to be.

'72 Carrera RS comes to mind.
