Bought my Porsche Boxter Today

I just took delivery of brand new Porsche Boxster S 2015 model today. See pictures below. I got 17% discount on MSRP. Had to drive 100 miles. Everything seems Ok. Small issue is driver side head light is brighter than the passenger side light which is little dim. Not sure if this is a loose contact or bulb failure. Did not notice this at the dealership. I also got the oil changed. Warranty started in Sep 2015.

Specifications:

0Q - White
250 - Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
427 - 20" Carrera Classic Wheels
446 - Wheel center caps with colored Porsche Crest
541 - Seat ventilation
546 - Supplemental Safety Bars in Exterior Color
603 - Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
640 - Sport Chrono Package i.c.w. PCM
840 - SportDesign steering wheel
AG - Standard Interior in Black
P06 - Power Sport Seats (14-way) with Memory Package
P9B - Premium Package i.c.w. Power Sport Seats (14-way)
P9G - Infotainment Package with BOSEŽ Surround Sound System

WOW! Looks great. Congratulations on what sounds like a great deal. Make sure you get involved with Peachstate Porsche Club so we can see first hand what your new Boxster S looks like. The next event will be our members party on February 27th at Hennessy Porsche at 7:00pm. Just join PCA and you qualify to attend the party. Hope to see you there.

Sweet ride! It is fairly similarly equipped as my 2016 GTS, except for the painted roll bars. Let's hope we get some sunny weather so that you can put some more miles on it. Great deal and glad you got the oil changed. If the warranty started in Sept 2015, it really isn't a new car and they could have done the trick to get it CPO'ed and then you would have a 6 year warranty vs. 4 year. You may want to see if they will do this retroactively. It might cost you $2k, but would probably be worth it in the long run, especially with the deal that you got. Then again, Porsche might have stopped that practice.

First hack - get rid of the amber side lights and put some clear ones on. They are available from the dealers or eBay. Easy and quick swap.

Nice looking car. And good job getting a 17% discount.

As for the headlight brightness difference I'd have a tech look at that. Use the Warranty that's what it is for.

Unfortunately it requires a 100 mile drive in your new Boxster. Oh the humanity...

Not!

I would drive my new Boxster 500 miles, and did, for a nice dinner. Started out near KC Mo, ended up east around Jeff City Mo, then made my way south on down to Branson Mo and had a nice steak dinner at some restaurant there then drove back up near KC Mo and home.
