Need advice...getting my first Porsche...

Just as green exterior is the one color cited in studies that reduces the sale price of a used Porsche vehicle by 20%.

I see, the heated seats allow you to comfortably drive in even cold weather. In this case, I will get them for sure.

On the wheels, the sales rep explained that the painted Porsche crest on the wheels, were NOT available on the specific wheel I wanted --- 19" Turbo Wheel (404). From reading your post, I CAN INDEED get the crests on the 19" Turbe Wheels i've selected.

Does that make it a little clearer? Sorry for the confusion...

OK, this is now more clear. I am going by the order guide, on page 11. The order guides have been wrong in the past, so maybe the salesperson knows more than the order guide.

The heated seats may also be therapeutic for your back too. Hey, maybe you can claim your whole Boxster purchase as a medical expense!!

I would strongly suggest not getting the green leather interior. Even if you think it looks great, you will have a very hard time selling it or even trading it in later.

Here are some photos of the green leather:
Car 1
Car 2
Car 3
Car 3.1
Car 3.2
Car 3.3
Car 3.4

That last car is almost exactly like the one you describe... silver exterior, black top, green interior, carbon package....


PASM is apparently the best thing since sliced bread. I've never driven with it, but the reviews have been most excellent, especially when combined with PSM and the sport package.

I wrote off my spa/hot tub for medical purposes. As the Porsche is the least expensive vehicle with seats I can comfortably sit in, AND have heat applied to my back, I th ink I will check with my accountant to see if we can write the whole car off. Now the trick is to have my Primary Care Physician write an RX for the Boxster like he did for the hot tub!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great idea...........

...Looks like I should go with gray or black interior...

Thanks VERY MUCH for the pics and the input...I may have made a mistake otherwise...
