Congrats on your new acquisition! She looks like she just rolled off the factory line. The titanium edition just looks great.
I downloaded the interior shot for all to see. I assume the dealer was referring to the multi-function steering wheel; an option back in '06.

A review of the service records shows the coolant pipes being done at 38k miles along with the 40k mile service. So, it looks like i'm go for now. What is the next service? Salesman said next oil change in 10 k miles.

Congrats, Viper! Aside from regular maintenance service, history says that your cardan shaft will be the next common item to need repair. If you feel the slightest vibration, make sure to get that taken care of while still under CPO....although with such low miles you might have to wait awhile

Twin to mine. Coils are another possible failure point. They all seem to go sooner or later (even the latest magic ones from Porsche.) CPO will cover them.
As far as the color - it's "Iceland Silver Metallic" (I think the "Iceland" refers to the blue tint in it.) You may have problems finding the paint code for it - if so - ping me. I have some and can read the number off it. SunCoast tracked it down for me when the local dealers gave up on finding it (it's not in the PET parts program for some reason.) Same paint as is used on some VW's - but they have their own code for it.
For a floor mat - the Porsche one fits (sorta - it's a tad long, and makes a groove in the carpeting on the tailgate, but it is sturdy and keeps things from flying around.) I found one on Ebay when I was across the country in Los Angeles.. paid the dude cash and he met me on a street corner with it. It was brand new out of his bosses traded in Cayenne. Found winter mats for it also on Ebay. You need the mats with the oval openings for the hold-downs. Porsche sells a kit to convert the round hole ones to oval hole for about $6. Another item that's hard to find on the parts system..
I found the stock wheel thickness too thin for my hands (old hands..) so I found a wheel cover that exactly matches the gray - Autozone for $10 or so.. Looks like the first owner didn't option the roof racks - again - these show up on Ebay pretty reasonably. Mine had the rack on it.
From the dealer pics - you have 2 zone heat, and no heated rear seat. You do have heated front seats, and probably the steering wheel is heated (which is why it cost so much..) The steering wheel heat only comes on below some outside temp (I think 42F..) but it is nice in winter weather.
Nice looking car - and the color is great - it never looks dirty..
