Hey Everyone,

Just got back from the dealership today, and I'm the proud almost-owner of a 2007 Boxster S.

First, before I say anything else, I just want to send my appreciation out to everyone who posts on this thread. The information here was so important in helping me make a good decision on options, features, etc.....I look forward to joining the club of Boxster S owners. Cheers!

Now to the good stuff....

Options:
Basalt Black
Sand Beige Interior (seemed a good choice vs. black for SoCal)
Bose
Windstop
Bi-Xeons
Heated Seats
Leather Sport Steering Wheel (just really liked the feel, and since I'll be holding on to this all the time, decided to splurge here)

I suppose its your pretty typical no-frills set up, but that's all I could really justify given I was already at the very max of what I wanted to spend on a new car. I really like the look of the 19"s, and the car I test drove had a great ride with 19"s (non-PASM), but my ceiling was $60K, and I couldn't squeeze them in. Hopefully the ride feels crisp with 18"'s.

As for some other interesting details -- the dealer said it would be built in October, and I would have delivery late November. (I really don't know how I'm going to wait that long). I suppose 3 months is typical.

And as for price, after a couple rounds of negotiating, I got 7% off MSRP. I suppose that seems fair based on everything I've read. Its not the 5% over invoice that some might have been able to get, but its at least respectable.

Thanks again everyone, see you on the road soon.

Safe driving,
Jason
