Yep; I be talked with the sales manager at BHP to see if he would forward my info to the buyer (hoping he was looking at a 4.0 or something), but he thinks the owner is happy with it.

I struck out on the three PTS Guards Red ones, so this is my second choice and also difficult to find/pry loose.

I believe I met the owner at a track event earlier this year. I believe it was his first event in that car and first event ever. Judging from the goofy grin on his face all day long....I'd say he is happy with the car.

I looked at silver car at BH before he bought it, and yes it was nice. I also looked at the Riv Blue at BH before brim bought it and it made we weak in the knees it was so beautiful!

A week later I bought the green one and never looked back.....

 

As mentioned above, the seats could be tight, but thats an easy swap. Other than that it is awesome. I'm 6'4" 200lbs. I had 2 997s (see avatar). I could barely fit a 996, but the 997 is a dream... TONS of room. I moved my seat forward like 8" and had my seat way upright... wheel in the chest, and I still had inches above my helmet!

That may be the most beautiful RS I've ever seen!!! Go for it.

 

Please report back, that's a steal.

I've been doing the research on the buckets. Which ones should I get? The GT2 foldable? I think I am going to need the alacantra inserts, but they look expensive for just that material. Thoughts?

 

Yes, those (GT2) are referred to as the "Sports Buckets", and you are correct, my understanding is that "aftermarket" (i.e not installed at the factory) you are looking at an additional $3k+ on the price of the OEM seat for those inserts... although there are a number of sources that can re-cover for less.

p.s ... you might try and find someone with a Boxster Spyder that (stupidly) wants to swap out their seats as I recall the buckets in those had the inserts

 

u will fit

 

I know

 

did that beauty show up yet?
