I appreciate classic wood steering wheels and shift knobs from vintage Porsches that the original Boxster 986 design concept came from. I’d prefer retro theme over modernizing updates with projector/ LED lights, big fat wheels, double DIN touch screen, carbon fiber bits, etc.... just IMHO. When I was searching for a 986 2 years ago that eventually replaced my 914, it has to be a silver over red leather car with old 550 soul.
But hey, whatever floats your boat!
Probably not much credit for cutting down mahogany trees for the steering wheels, but that fake wood plastic panels may count?

I've seen plenty of base models being sold as an 'S', but this one takes it a little too far:

It's one thing to say a car has full leather or bi-xenon when it doesn't, but trying to knowingly foist a base off as an S is another. The guy in my example has painted his calipers red and changed the exhaust tip to a dual, so he seems to be knowingly trying to get S money out of his base. I sent him an email thru the ad and suggested he should correct his verbiage, but obviously nothing has happened. Maybe we should start a 986forum campaign to bomb him with emails.

Makes me want to troll them and ask if they'll trade even for an 'Audi R8' like this:

I was interested in this low mileage car. If I could source a engine for a reasonable price it might be an interesting project. The price is high considering Boxster rollers go for 5,000.

I exchanged a few emails with the seller. It does have a clean title. He thought since the car is not drivable, it would be called salvage.

Interested to see what this sells for. $22.5K USD seems pretty aggressive.

Agreed. Maybe on BAT if it’s low miles with all records in great condition. Across the last year I’ve seen SE prices anywhere from 12,500 to 29,000 asking. The listings go away so it seems they are selling. Not planning on parting with mine in any case. Mine’s in great shape but it’s a driver. In fact I’m gearing up for some HPDE in the upcoming season.

Least expensive running (I assume) 550 SE I’ve run across.
169,000+ miles anyone?
