I love playing the S or not an S game.

Any time I look through Craigslist I look for cars listed as an S that are posers, (every now and then you'll find a boxster spyder 1997 or a boxster s 1998 model lol.)

Anyways the car in the link has me stumped on if it's an S or not!

It's an S model.

The key is the VIN: WP0CB2980YU660720

Character 5 (from left) will be an "A" for a base model or a "B" for an S model.

I forgot to check the vin. I guess the new question is, why does it have a 4 spoke?

I've seen other S models with 4 spoke wheels. Must have been the standard in the early years.
