I sent an email to the dealer asking about the car and just got some generic email back. I'll give them a call to see if they actually have the car. I never trust an online inventory that might be out of date. The price is out of my budget but not too far. I think for the uniqueness of the car it is worth the extra $$.
I like this aniversary eddition too, except the top color is also Cocoa. I think it looks like chocolate brown in color. For me, a black top is the only way to go. My favorite thing about this eddition is the induvidual nubering in the center console. It says the number and "550 Spyder Aniversary Eddition." Makes you realize how close they were trying to make the Boxster look like the old Spyder. I have a DVD that shows the inside and all of the extras.

I considered swapping my 2000S for the 550 SE. But decided it would be a better deal if I waited a little longer. I sat in the car back in 2004 in the dealer show room and it the interior pics don't do the car justice. It looks very very sharp.
Chrome accents, the leather looks very rich and painted cluster and console give the appearance of a very high end car.
I didn't care for the darker colored wheels and non-red calipers but that's an easy fix.
I'm sure they drew allot inspiration from this car when they pulled together the cocoa/silver CaymanS. Very similar look.

I think if the car is well maintained it could become valuable in 20 years or so. Its the rarest example of a historic car for Porsche. Kinda like a 1973 911 RS.

I did a quick check on Auto Trader.

There are 6 for sale in the US : 2k - 28k miles for $38k to $50k !

Great looking car, but I think I would rather have a new one for that price...

Nick
