They're not hard to find. But usually the owners want a lot more money for them then what the typical bidder is willing to fork over for the extra options. Unlike a limited production Porsche that comes with an actual limited production engine, these have bullet proof resale but they're all GT2/GT3 Carrera variants. It's all about the engine when it comes to commanding a high resale. If its still a mass produced engine (ie the same one found in the Boxster S) in a SE Boxster, then its harder to ask for the premium unless the bidder is really in love with the interior and exterior upgrades which individually hold little value once depreciation kicks in. If the asking price is reasonable, then its a better value than a similar mileage non-SE Boxster S because adding options later, like HID lights, 18" Carrera wheels, interior upgrades, etc. is still very expensive. Personally I would pay up for a lower mileage Boxster S, I'll take reliability over amenities.
