The 2004 Boxster 550 Special Edition in summary:
- 264 hp, 7 more than the Boxster S (largely due to ECU reprogramming)
- 987 airbox
- shorter-throw manual shifter
- unique stainless steel exhaust tip
- 10-mm-lower suspension (M030) with five-mm-wider track (via factory spacers)
- Xenon headlights
- full leather interior (in Cocoa or Dark Gray with matching convertible top)
- sports seats
- black face instruments with chrome trim rings
- aluminum finish brake calipers
- GT Metallic Silver exterior with matching interior trim
- 18” Carrera Light wheels painted in two tone Seal Gray and Arctic Silver
- SE 'red' tailights
- only 500 of the 1,953 total worldwide production were exported to the US for sale
Asking prices are running around 12,000 to 29,000 USD right now. There are currently three or four for sale on Craiglist.
The SE has dedicated Porsche issued product literature, posters, etc. and it was the last year for 986 production. Typical move for Porsche to issue an SE edition at the end of a model run.
