2004 boxster s limited edition

[por356c]

Hi Jimbo - I own #1272 and I have been thrilled with the car. It’s my 3rd Boxster and I bought it one year ago, for a very reasonable price, and I will not likely ever lose money, nor will I ever sell it. I am the 3rd owner - the previous owner had the car for 12 yrs and he maintained the car exceedingly well, including the IMSB. You have to consider that these 550s come very well equipped, there were only 1953 made with only 500 being imported to the USA. Plus, the factory mods on the car are all very nice and make a difference. All of this makes this car a bit unique in the Boxster world. And it’s the last year of the admired first gen Boxsters. Assuming that these cars are well maintained and have a good documented history, with no stories, go for it. Good luck.

Hi Jim - they did not necessarily ship the first 500 to the USA - they spread out their shipments all over the world, but ultimately they shipped only 500 in total to the USA.

Hi Jim,

The total worldwide 550SE production run was 1,953 of which 500 were randomly shipped to the US. The individual cars are numbered 0001 through 1953. There was no reserved range of issue numbers for the US.
