I have installed a short shift kit, new clutch, new serpentine belt and spark plugs. I had a new Kenwood head unit installed in 2016 with GPS Navigation/Bluetooth phone, XM, with backup camera and front curb sensors. The car came with the factory Bose upgrade. This car also has an additional 600 watt 4 channel JL Audio amplifier and JL Audio 6.5 speakers. Needless to say the stereo gets very loud and sounds great. The wheels came out on the limited editions with what I thought was an ugly silver lip on the black wheels. I had them stripped and shot with gloss black powder with two coats of clear to make them look like they belong on the car..
The front brake pads and rotors were replaced along with new Michelin Pilot Sport front tires back in Feb-2016 at 58,000 miles. The rear tires/brakes are still in great shape.
This car has always been garaged and never used as a daily driver, paint and body are excellent. I have all the receipts and every service ticket on this car. Incidentally, the front of the owner's manual has been signed by Pinky Lai, the designer of the Boxster. Contact me with any questions you might have.

Fantastic looking vehicle. If it was a hardtop, I'd probably rip your arm off taking the keys from you after payment. This will make someone a perfect vehicle. Best of luck.

Thanks guys.
I have gone to look at cars in the past that were advertised as "perfect" or "like new" only to be disappointed when seeing them up close, this is not one of those cars...
I purchased this from a very good friend whose wife owned this car and replaced it with a new 2017 Boxster GTS (same color scheme as this . I had always admired her car and was just hoping to own it when they replaced it so I was on the list. I was not disappointed with this car and the things I have done have only made a great car better. The interesting thing to me was why would someone drive an orange car for 8 model years and replace it with another orange one with a black top?
This has been my first orange and I love the attention it gets and really have become a fan of orange. Also I live in Stillwater OK the home of Oklahoma State University, and of course orange and black is the OSU Cowboys official colors.. Also, the OU Sooner fans hate orange. So it has that going for it--just saying Seriously this one is extremely clean.

Any other interior pics? Seats?
It's a great looking car but you're really not doing it justice with the vertical cell phone pics... Turn your phone sideways, take some front and rear 3/4 shots and post them up if you can... It'd make this ad much more compelling.

I totally agree Baddogz. And I think I read somewhere on the forum that it was a FACT that Guards Red is the fastest of all colors. BTW I ran home and added the pictures you suggested. My add looks so good now I think I will buy it. Who needs a wife anyway?
