Boxster Spyder

[Zapdos]

This has been a positively pleasurable experience compared with the roller coaster ride with the GT3

Just heard October build, 1st local OPC car of 2.

Is that a definite confirmation of build date?
If so then I will be phoning my OPC about news of my build

Yes I think so, just a flying visit today and was told just now on the system, 2 cars 1st October and 2nd November

OK, so whilst we wait, what's the likely colour choice. I am now definitely Rhodium (or Carrara White)...

[davidc1]

White. My dream would be paint to sample , maritime blue or macadamia.

Got the colour choice down to Guards Red or Speed Yellow(for the moment). Current car is Guards Red so it seems a little daft replacing one GR Spyder with another but can I really walk out to a yellow car every morning?

Then there is Agate Grey. I think it looks great in pictures - both on screen and printed but haven't been able to find it on a Boxster yet to see it in real life. I had dismissed it earlier but I now realise the Panamera I was looking at was NOT Agate Gray.

The wait isn't bothering me but as someone has said earlier, the wait heightens the excitement. I'm also lucky enough to have a Spyder already so can still enjoy the sun etc. I'm reasonably confident that the dealers don't like the 'not knowing' either because it's mainly them that are getting the bad press not Porsche.

Think this will be my spec

Carrara white
Standard wheels (but considering satin platinum)
Smoked tail lights
PCM
Phone
Black leather silver stitching
Like the alcantara sun visors but the come to about £500 which is a bit strong

Still looking for a nice 987 with spyder wheels, buckets and stereo if anyone's in a position to seel - cash waiting ! Good luck to the 981 prospective owners - liking the sound of speed yellow personally !

[Beaver]

It's Racing Yellow sadly

[2010spy]

Good luck with the search. What about any of those currently on PH - no good?

Quite a bummer, a season of using the car just gone like that unless you are going to use it as a daily.

Is that all cars?

Just specced mine:

GT Silver
Classic Red Interior
Sports Tailpipe

Am I feeling brave enough for this?

Mine will be up for sale in the next month but will be top end price wise but worth it compared to other high priced older,higher mileage,multi owner lower specd cars that come to the market!
