So What is the RS60?

Im not real familiar with this edition of the 08 Boxster. Sweet looking car and there are a few just on the top end of my budget. I was curious to learn more about them, are they base or S spec mechanically?

They are a limited edition S model tweaked in HP slightly I believe 15 HP with Retro features such as NO SUNSHADE BAN and all kinds of lightweight features ,cool color combinations as well and there is probally a lot of other stuff I am missing
Probally one of the best Boxsters EVER you could possibly buy so If you have the oprotunity to snag one ... GET IT!!!!! one of my all time favorite P cars ... very Rare
red Interior with silver or Black exterior !!!!!! HOT!!

I was debating between a speed Yellow and a base Limited edition (out of state), but after coming across a few of these RS60's online in silver I gotta agree they are hot! The silver and red just works.

That would deffinately be my choice I believe the RS -60 stands for a Retro back to the 1960's P cars where simplicity was at its best ,thats why they made these with less gadegts ,reduced weight ..1st time I saw one I went home and removed my sunshade ban that covers all the cool looking dials and purchased the small peice that fits right in there ..I love the look !!

Next to the new Boxster Spyder the Rs -60 is the best boxster ever made IMO so if its in the price range ..grab it !! should hold value pretty good too

the RS60 holds their value a little better since it's a limited edition (1960 of them), similar to the orange limited edition (250 of them). You get unique color combo (silver/red or silver black) + features you otherwise would have to pay for in the Boxster S (e.g. sport exhaust, PASM, chrono pkg, front aero splitter and I think sport seats). You also get 303hp (8 more than the S of same yr). Most people probably won't notice the difference between the S and the RS60, but folks familiar with the Boxster line can tell it's a RS60 from the color/aero bits.

The speed yellow is not bad either. But then, I am bias.

Lithium1330, that is pretty sweet looking Speed Yello Boxster! The wheels really look good what are they?

So anyway, heres the car. Its priced less than most regualr S models but the miles are a bit on the high side. It looks mint but I still wonder on the price because in a few years when Id want to sell it it would probably have 70-80k miles. http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...19547075&Log=0

I have one of the lesser know limited edition which came out right after the RS60. From what I know there's only 32 of these in the US out of 500.

The wheels are 19" Champion RG5's, which I had them painted gloss black. As mentioned, the RS60 is limited edition and should hold the price better than the standard S with similar miles. Who knows, you may find that after a few years it would be difficult to give the car up - they are a lot of fun. The RS60 also looks a little more aggressive with the front splitter (I also added them to my car) compared with the S. If you don't plan on modifying the car, RS60 is very good car to have out of the box. 48k miles = 12k/yr... which is reasonable. Also, car is CPO'ed, so you get extra 2yrs/100k factory warranty. That, some suggests, is worth $2 - 3K in value.
