Same manuals as a regular Boxster. There was a specific sales brochure for the car. I'll sell you one if you want it.

Hello all! Glad to be in a group with other owners of this great model. I have number 0845. I just picked it up last week.

…..these cars have the factory Porsche short shifter from the 987.

Picked up one a few weeks ago.
#0703 with about 45,000 miles.

Previous owner did LN IMS bearing replacement, RMS, Water pump,Pulleys and belt, AOS, along with basic service stuff.

All stock aside from new PCCM, but I did get the original stereo unit and the 6 CD charger is still in the trunk.

Very clean for a 20 year car. Had to replace a couple of plastic bits under the front bumper where someone got too close to a curb parking. Also had to repair the headlamp washers. They are more like lawn sprinklers than windshield washers.

Having a blast with it. I had a 99 base with triptronic years ago, but sold it when we had a kid. Now the kid is 14 and had a chance to get this one. It’s a better car all around. Brakes, power, manual 6-speed, glass rear window, interior, suspension, wheels, heated seats, PSM…plus the color scheme and being just a little bit special.
