New to me 2004 S

[500_19B]

(I've posted the same thread over on Rennlist, my apologies to those who peruse both sites for the repetition)

Yesterday we picked up a lovely 2004 S "550 Anniversary" car. We bought it from Pfaff Motors (the local P-car dealer) and it came with 22 months of CPO, four brand-spanking new Michelin Pilot Sports, new brake rotors, pads and hardware and a bunch of pre-delivery service that included a brake system flush.

The car is in beautiful shape and I plan to over-maintain it with regular IMS and water pump changes amongst other things.

My little guy and I took it for a drive in the country this evening and it was beautiful. the car is wonderful to drive and is very tight.

Pfaff was awesome, in particular the salesman we dealt with, John Hulley, was top notch. The tires were a real surprise as when I looked at the car last week, the old tires were still on. They were four years old and had 4 mm of tread depth, so they were OK and I was fine to buy the car with those tires (and was already planning to be buying new ones next year). When I realized the dealership had chose to replace them on their own accord, I was very impressed.

Here are some pics from our drive:

Beautiful, I love the 550 editions. This may sound like a strange question but when you get a chance could you tell me if the "Boxster S" emblem on the trunk is brushed aluminum look, chrome look, titanium look or something else? Thank you and enjoy your new to you Boxster.

Not a strange question at all! The script is in a glossy, chrome finish:

Sweet! I've got the same model and colors in a 2003. After 18 months and several long trips, I like it even more.

Congratulations on your 550 purchase! I think the condition of the old tires didn't qualify for the CPO Porsche program. I have heard of some dealers skimping on this rule.

Congrats!

The 550 with all the extra goodies is a sweet ride.

Enjoy!

I looked for 6 months to find the 550 anniversary with a natural grey interior. Just had it out for a 200 mile NC mountain ride last week and it was a blast. Enjoy it !
