Going to take the dive into my first Boxster.

[petrus]

Well, looks like I'm finally going to jump into the deep end of the pool and buy my first Boxster. I've been waiting for the redesign because at 6' 5" I just did'nt fit into the old body style. I just found this forum and this is my first post so go easy on me.
I plan on buying an 05 so at least I can get some depreciation hit out of the way.

I was hoping to get some direction from the group and I do have some questions.

Is there any difference in initial build quality beyween the 2 build sites and if yes, where is this located in the vin#?

I'm keeping the option content low, are there any you would consider essential?

I'm leaning towards a traditional red/tan color combination. What exterior colors do you feel really bring out the lines of the car?

Any other sage advice, etc will be welcome.
