Pull the trigger on this thing! On long trips I wish I had cruise, but no cruise makes it more "pure" right?  PSM isn't necessary if you know how to drive. Coming off of a Miata I'm sure you know a couple things about driving.

I forgot. The S is red on the back lid. I haven't seen that before. That must give it more hp, right?

You actually drop 10 hp due to the extra weight.

Sounds like a nice car...I wouldn't worry about cruise or PSM; I have cruise and never use it and didn't want PSM to interrupt with my driving style. Who needs a radio when the cars sound so good? Sounds like Carmax has some pretty nice policies and warranties, from what I've been reading lately...that may influence my next DD purchase, as I never buy brand new.
Oh, the red "S" definitely makes it faster!

Find a car with CC.
Resale value. Many (including me) would not buy a car without CC.
IMHO.

Sounds good!
To compare, mine is an '04 S, bought last year for 23,000, litronics, heated seats, sideskirts, triple black, nothing else. 47,000 mls, 1 owner, fully documented.
From Porsche dealer with full Porsche warranty (CPO).
Cruise control would be nice but I drive seldom the freeway and can be retrofitted if need be.
Let us know!

I'm ok as a DIY'er, so as long as the engine doesn't have to be dropped or the parts cost more than a few hundred, then this is a possible future project.

Even though it didn't come equipped with a sunroof, I wouldn't let it deter you.  It sounds like a nice vehicle - get it !

HID retrofit kit is nothing like the real litronics. And PSM is really useful if you want to explore the limit of the car safely.
