Just picked up a 981 Boxster S

I rarely visit this sub forum, usually at planet-9 to get my Boxster fix. I guess I'll be here a bit more now. I just purchased this slight used Aqua Blue Boxster S with less than 8,000 miles. Here are some pics from the dealer.

Specs.
2013 Boxster S
Two tone pebble grey leather interior
PDK
PDLS
PCCB
PCM
PASM
PTV
SC
Sports design steering wheel
And a whole lot of other options
MSRP=$97,230

Very nice! This is the highest spec'd 981 I have seen. Would you mind sharing how much you paid?

No unfortunately, doesn't have ventilated seats either. I prefer Carrera S wheels over Carrera classics but I can't really complain. This 981 is pretty loaded.

I could do with either wheel, but at least the Carrera Classics seem to keep looking clean being mostly anthracite. At least you don't have to be concerned with brake dust with PCCB. You can always retrofit PSE. My 981S had it and I never drove without it on. Yours being a Boxster would be even more enjoyable (for sound). I'll never go aftermarket for exhaust again, except for perhaps exhaust tips as Porsche tips aren't x-type. Sound of aftermarket never compares to PSE.

We'll see how I like the stock exhaust, might consider changing it later if I don't like it.

Not for the good, lol I spec one to my preference and it ended up being $85K brand new, the Boxster is supposed to be the poor man's Porsche right? How time has changed. It needs to go back when it's about $65K max.

Thanks everyone, plenty of sunshine here and I'm sure I'll be enjoying driving top down.

It was an awesome drive back home, I can say the 981 Boxster is spectacular, not as fast as my 997 but handles and feels so much better. Here are some pictures taken with my Note 3, it came out surprisingly well for a cellphone.

Congrats! That color looks great on the 981! If you start looking at an exhaust definitely consider the PSE. It's a great combination of performance and sound.

We'll see how I feel about it after a few months, so far it's just loud enough.

Thanks guys! I'm in love with this color too, it gets a lot of compliments and attention. Looked at quite a few Boxsters and this color just pops compared to the traditional colors of silver, black, white, and grey.
