Appreciate the compliments. Only the seating surfaces are suede. Other parts on the seat are leather.
Bought it used for 6 million yen. It had 5000 km, power seat, seat warmer, navigation, and cd changer.
New S (987) costs about 8 million yen and new boxster (987) costs about 7 million yen. I couldn't wait 6 months to get a 987 one made and import it here, so I was looking for a used one and luckily found the one that I wanted (it was the only S with low milage, silver and with enough opts -- hence the tiptronic)
Cars especially GM made cars do depreciate quickly here, but Porsche is an exclusion because I think people considered it as an 'exotic' car and perhaps fits into the environment (small street, tight corners, etc).
I had Skyline and WRX with Turbo rev their engine next to mine at the light. WRX was FAST, but skyline was disappointing
