I Pulled The Trigger

[knurly]

Well done on the last minute deal!

I also just bought a LE'08 on 12/21 from the West Houston dealer. Using the same principle, I paid $59.7K. Sounds like you squeezed out a bit more coming in at the last second.

I now own #194 (of 250). Which one are you?

I didn't realize the options can vary a bit on the LE's. Mine came with:
* Bi-Xenons
* Heated seats
* Windstop
* Sport chrono
* Bose high-end
* Floor mats in interior color

What options came with yours?

Wow, that is so cool. I love the LE. Like the other said, post pics!

After a couple of restless nights, I picked it up this afternoon. Man, what a sweet ride. The shifter is light-years ahead of my 01. The extra 40 horses are great. I can't wait to get some nice weather to put the top down and hear the sport exhaust.

Knurly - thanks for asking. Mine is ZERO-ZERO-FIVE of 250. The salesman said the factory usually keeps #s 1 & 2. When I first saw this one in Nov that serial number really got me thinking.

As for options, it has the same ones Knurly listed plus a clear bra.

Pics are coming, but it gets dark early and I had too many stops tonight after leaving Woodhouse.

Also, I have a WTB in the classifieds. I'm looking for some 18" 987S wheels for my snows. If I get a set, then I'll sell my Sport Classic IIs. I know DJ will be kicking himself for not calling dibs on the chrome lobsters, but they are gone.

Congrats!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Husker: I see now you are in Omaha -- a bit cold for the top down!

Fortunately Austin is a bit warmer, and I've had several chances to hear the Sport exhaust. Porsche should have labelled the button "More Fun". I can't quit poking it -- just to hear the exhaust open up.

Funny story: pulled up to a stop light where a beggar was working the row of cars. Beggar walks over to my bright orange Boxster and loudly exclaims "What a purty car!".

I've never had the kinds of reactions this car is getting. Something about the color + shape evokes thoughts of fun for people.

Nice choice. I've seen your car in person! (well before it was yours) You can't help but stop and stare at the LE. Guys at Boardwalk I've had experience with are great too. Enjoy!

Ok, after this thread and the one where the Scottish dude's dad got the Cayman SD 1 I'm officially jealous.

I went to Porsche's website and priced out the Box LE and the Cayman SD1. Both are affordable for Chills.... hmmmm.... and I owe less on my Box that what the trade in is estimated on KBB.

Must resist buying new Porsche. lol

I just got my BoxS a little over a year ago. I think I'm having withdrawls because I haven't driven it in 2 weeks.
