Red one is a 3.5 (?) PDK, with a manual stick?

Good work!! clap

Are you going to get the decals put on? I nearly bought one without decals, nearly fell off my chair when I phoned Porsche for the price of what are essentially just stickers!!

if it were a OPC car then I would expect the car to be OEM and have the stickers !

May be some people actually aren't keen on them or just aren't fussed?

Personally, I love them on mine!

It's a 1 owner car, been used as a daily driver, very clean just has the usual road rash you'd expect from a daily drive, 23 or so RR1 over-revs so it's had an easy life by the looks of it.

Owner didn't want the decals, they're going back on as part of the prep, they've also done the rear tyres and front discs and pads. It wasn't quite the spec I wanted but it's a solid car and I thought it looked amazing in Guards Red.

Can't wait to pick it up, it's the best thing I've driven for years.

I am scared to let mine go, they are the greatest thing to drive on UK roads.

I agree, I think they are part of the cars identity

Bit of a marmite feature. The thing that I've always admired about Porsches is that they are (mostly) understated compared with the Italian alternatives - and then they put dirty great stickers on their most sporty models - going back to the 2.7 Carrera RS (and possibly further). Don't quite understand it - a bit Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde to me. Clearly the market takes a different view - if 2.7 RS values are anything to go by.

What's the full spec -


19 inch Boxster Spyder Wheel
6 speed manual transmission
Automatic air conditioning
Heated seats
ParkAssist (rear)
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) including navigation module
Preparation for mobile phone
Sound Package Plus incl. CD storage box
Sport Chrono Package Plus
Sports seats
Universal audio interface



Didn't want the buckets, wanted PSE, full leather and ideally cup holders (spyder didn't have them, annoying on long trips) - other than those missing things it's a good spec for me. The way it looks in Guards Red makes up for it.
