Congrats. I just saw the Orange one at the dealer last week. Wow, very cool. The only downside will be the attention you will get. Not exactly a subtle color.

Congrats on the purchase.

I went to my local toy store to look at the LE they had in stock and it bit me hard. I was VERY close to buying it but cooler heads prevailed. Did you get a discount from sticker and if so, how much? And as an earlier poster asked, what # did you get?

Well This is the long and short of it, Got the car last week @ Brian Harris Porsche Audi in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My sales men was Pete Huff and the sales experience was 100% first class.

I got the car for my wife as a special gift for the 28th of this month. The car is in storage at this time till I give it to her on the 28th. I am in Houston this week for Thanksgiving, but will take some pics ASAP when I get back. I am trying to keep the car on the down low till the 28th, so it is hard for me to post and or talk Porsche till I give it to her.

I can say this, this is my first Porsche and the little I have drove it I love it. This thing is like driving my shifter kart. The suspension, acceleration, feel, speed, brakes are all great. I am 6'4" and weight about 230 and I fit great(with the top up) in this car.

I will post more and provide lots of pics after the big day.

Looking forward to some good times and will be looking for help from the community to make sure I get the most out of it.

Talk to you all soon, thanks in advance.

are you sure she is going to view an orange car as a gift :D

oh is it stick???

fill us in on the rest of the story!

congrats on the car....I think it's really cool.....only thing I don't like are the black rims......maybe in person they are sharp......

Those tires are WICKED! Dont know if they would look good on any car though. I can just imagine how much they are lol

They only made 250 but I've seen two of them already. I guess we have a big chunk of the Porsche buying world here in New Jersey, saw one at the mall in Paramus Saturday.
I don't know whose bright idea that was but the thing was covered in finger prints...a rare car deserves better treatment than that. I used to think yellow was the best flashy sports car color but I think orange takes it. It looks great at night under the street lights and has a great shine during the day. What a head turner.

The GT3 alcantara interior treatment was a nice touch, hadn't noticed that before.

Congratulations....... You will be so happy with your choice!

I picked up my 2008 Boxster S "RS Orange" Limited Edition #17 of 250 on Oct 20th and have been in Heaven ever since.

It's so easy to keep clean. The Black rims have grown on me a lot, plus they too stay clean so much longer than standard rims.

No regrets here.

Enjoy!

Did Porsche manufacture 250 S and base LE? Or 250 S, 250 Base?

250 of each, 500 total :

Nice to know there's something out there more likely to get pulled over than me. :cheers: I usually try to drive 1/4 of a mile behind a hot blonde in a flashy car -- but I'd happily go for anybody driving an orange boxster. ;)
