New (to me) 997S Cab Midnight Blue

Finally bit the bullet and am selling my 2003 Guards Red Boxster S with 40k miles to a 2006 997 S Cab. with 20k miles Thanks to all for the recommendations. I'm flying down to Miami this Saturday to pick it up and drive it back to Baltimore. I have a pre-purchase inspection scheduled for tomorrow, and assuming everything is ok, should be good to go

In the end I was torn between a CPO car in California or this one in Miami. Since they were practically identical in mileage and options except for the CPO, I saved over $5000 and went with this one. Here are some pics

I had to go to Tiptronic for a while as a nurse a knee injury but will hopefully enjoy this car regardless of transmission. Only wish it had Sport Chrono... but it does have full leather. Am thinking that my first projects will be PSE and Denison Icelink installs.

Nice car!

Mine is an '05 S Cab Tip--- sans the chrono as well....

I love the color combo- I have not seen anything in person to make me say ----"I wish I had gotten THAT color instead..."

One bit of advice- trade out those Sand Beige floor mats for some Black ones- they are infinitely easier to keep clean and they look great as well.)

You will love that car!

Cheers-

Thanks guys. Get I get the results of the PPI tomorrow. Good idea with the floor mats. Are Lloyd's still the way to go?

Mine too is midnight blue. I love the color.
Only difference is that mine has the gray leather interior.
