Just to make you feel more comfortable, here in Australia, the Boxster S in Special Order Mexico Blue would cost you $A135,990 PLUS taxes and PLUS on road costs (+/- $US130,000) BEFORE you add even the slightest extras.....The paint alone costs $10,000 extra !!!
And this is after Porsche Australia have recently REDUCED their prices to be more "competative" in the marketplace.....
If you lived this side of the pond, (which you don't) I surmise you would keep the Dangermobile and pocket (invest) the rather large difference....

Sorry, rant over - this has got nothing to do with your prospective 981 purchase......
