I'm not too worried about that since we've been set on this config for a while.

Not gonna lie, it makes me super anxious thinking about how much money it is. As for what changed, well, uh, nothing . We both really miss the Boxster (though I think we sold it at the right time as we were both itching for something, I dunno, newer?). We still probably won't put a ton of miles on it (because dog), but I guess I've become okay with it because I've convinced myself these cars won't depreciate much in the long run. I might be very wrong about that but it's only money, right? Ha ha.
Congrats. And I would say re: monetary concern —you could sell this car for huge markup (if that helps).

I still don’t have my full formal allocation. I’m super happy you and JST got yours though.

Love it.

Why just delete the model designation on the rear? It still shows on the side doors. Or is that something you remove on arrival?

I wondered the same thing.


BTW, great build. The one thing I would do differently is add the prem pkg, for $1340 more. I saved the build under my account. I did change the exterior color as well.

The model designation on the rear looks kind of stupid imo. The stickers on the doors…eh, they’re not so bad

Are heated seats standard?

Interesting. DO you need to spec Nav to get CarPlay support?
