I guess it also depends on your ownership time horizon for the car. If it's a toy for a few years, get the S. If you plan to keep it for a long time, get the newer one.

The car in question was an '05 and only had 20k miles. I think I'll chalk it up to the narrow tires and make 18's a required option in my search.

are some OE calipers silver?

I came across a CPO base 987 that had silver calipers which surprised me. Were some really not painted black, or are these non Porsche replacements?

Thanks
