What should I ask for my 04 Special ed Boxster S???

[tomonomics]

Is it a Porsche extended warranty?

There's a high-mileage 550 edition that's been for sale locally and on Ebay for a few weeks at $18,999. Clearly yours is in much better condition and has the hardtop, but I don't know if that would add more than $10k. The last one I saw on Ebay had 23,xxx miles and topped out at ~$22k (didn't hit reserve) if I recall correctly.

If you find the right buyer you may get a premium over the trade-in offer, especially if it's a collector in which case the hardtop will likely help the value.

Personally I'd keep it!

A little more info below.
Yes it has 8 more HP than the S but I really like the M030 suspension, short shifter, wheel spacers, sport exhaust and 2 tone light Carrera wheels. I can't appreciate the HP but the rest of the std items listed above are sweet.

"In 2004 the 550 Spyder 50th Anniversary Edition was released, with a production run of just 1953 cars. These were all painted GT Silver Metallic, the same color as the car-show version of the Carrera GT supercar, and had unique cocoa-brown full-leather interior as standard with grey natural leather as a no-cost option. Each car also had special interior paintwork, a high-end BOSE sound system, two-tone grey and silver 18" Carrera wheels (unpainted as another zero-cost option), 5 mm (0.2 in) wheel spacers, the Boxster S sport exhaust, the M030 option sports suspension, and a plate on the center console piece commonly known as the "batwing" showing the production number. Only on the American market cars were the rear turn signals red rather than clear."

I am not changing my mind, it is for sale.
My local Porsche dealer is getting me a quote soon.
Thanks all

Tom you are right and I will regret it someday. But I have done this many times and it's time to move on and enjoy something else
