Congrats on the new ride! I love the color combo! (Same as mine). Your interior color is called "Boxster Red". I think that everyone agrees that it is much more of a terra cotta color than it is a red but the folks in Stuttgart say it's red. Enjoy the ride!

I'm looking for new seat upholstery as it got some serious wear on the drivers-side. There seems to be some confusion (or just me) about boxster red beeing a different colour than terracotta. Does there exist a stronger red interiour color?

Ref. google boxster red vs. terracotta
Also I have seen the two as an option in some aftermarked upholestery dealers.

Can it be that terracotta is the 996 color? (not called boxster red) but same color?

Hi everyone.

I've had my 2003, 80,000 km Boxster S for a whole week now. I dropped my motorbike on my foot and broke it (the foot!) in four places. I've had an attack of common sense and realise that bikes are now beyond my aging and dilapidated body to manage.

So. Sold the bike, but still needed a vehicle with some serious grin factor, and being a Porsche tragic for the last 50+ years, bought the Boxster. I live just outside Canberra, in Australia. Found my car on the 'net at a dealer in Canberra and forked out just under $30,000 for it. She seems in good nick and will have to live outside in Canberra's cool climate (for Australia).

I'm looking for the best value (I'm a prison chaplain, so very little money to spend - the inmates think the Porsche is a very cool choice!) in an effective outdoor car cover.

I hope this is how forums works. I have no experience with them. But very happy to be here.
