It's RS60 Spyder Limited Edition

It's an homage to the Type 718 RS 60 Spyder and it's victory in 1960 at the 12 hours of Sebring.

Make sense?

You gonna keep the aftermarket stereo in there with the back-up camera, or go back to the stock unit? The aftermarket one is nice because of all of the modern features, but I myself prefer keeping cars like this stock, so I'd have a hard time deciding what to do.

Found this article if people wanted to read a review from 12+ years ago.

http://www.autos.ca/car-test-drives/test-drive-2008-porsche-boxster-rs60-spyder/

What's kind of crazy is that this vehicle back in 2008 had a starting price of $81,800, where as a new Porsche 718 Boxster S today costs $84,000.  Nice to see that the price hasn't creeped up too much over the years.  Or would this RS60 be more in line with a Boxster 25 years model, which is $108K?

Probably somewhere in between since the 25 years model is basically a GTS 4.0.

Still that's not too much of price creep over 13 years.  Based on inflation, a vehicle that cost $81,800 in 2008 is worth about $100,500 in todays money.  A GTS is still less than that amount.

Yes, the interior is a bit loud

Audibly or visually? I think it's stunning with the rich materials.

I don't think the screen is out of place at all.

Looks great.  Is the car in as good of condition as you expected?  Any surprises?  Looks to be pristine.
