Not BAT, and missing a pedal, but what a red light sleeper this would be . . .

Sub-10,000 miles will do that. That's a pretty car. Seems rare to have a white one without an awful saddle or brown or tan or beige interior.

That same car with 30,000 miles is the one I'd try to hold out for.

Nice spec and where I'd price mine. If you have good roads around you, the sports suspension is the one to go for (it will also be cheaper in the very long run of shocks wearing out). If not, then go with PASM. Base suspension is 'meh' in the 981. Nice to have heat & ventilation, I use both quite a bit. 14-ways are the comfiest, better than my lighter/sportier 18-ways, wish I had them for longer trips.

The only real miss is PTV and I don't think it's that important. And, to be honest, I couldn't see selling my car for any less, not that I'm selling.

I completely disagree with the interior comment, especially on 'verts. I hate black interiors, they feel so dark and dreary to me. I doubly hate them in a convertible when they just bake in the sun and get ridiculously hot. To each their own, but the black on that car is a non-starter for me.

You're in the majority it seems because it took us a lot of searching to find our car - I was OK with white, yellow, blue (anything but black or silver really) on the outside but neither of us wanted anything other than a black interior and every blue car had a tan or brown interior. Most of the white cars did as well.

I think if and when we move this Boxster on I'll be considering a Cayman. Marisa really loves having the Porsche around, but I'm just losing my interest in having a convertible.
