Almost got into an Aventurine BGTS 4.0 earlier this year, but ended up passing on it. 6 months later, this beauty showed up at the same dealership and it got the better of me. CPO, and the previous owner is a collector who traded this in for a 718 Spyder and a 911 S/T, and apparently all his Porsches are specced very similarly in Aventurine and Espresso.

These are pics from the test drive day and the first day I checked it out. I'll have better shots after I actually pick the car up. It's not here yet... and I'm already getting ready for mods :p

Nicely equipped! Somewhere in California? Your profile is incomplete (nudge).
Thanks! I think I got lucky as the previous owner went pretty far with the options - there's a bunch of stuff that I hadn't even known about or noticed before I saw this build sheet. I tried recreating this build in the configurator and the MSRP is north of $130K 😵

Good guess, I'm in San Francisco.

One of the nicest Boxsters I have seen, love the colour combo
Thank you! I had reservations when I first saw the espresso interior in photos, but in person it's really lovely and absolutely grows on you.

I also like that the aventurine color-shifts from time to time. Here's a video showing the aventurine in different lighting conditions:

Thanks.

It would never occur to me to pair those interior and exterior colors. But they look phenomenal together. Enjoy!
Me neither, thanks!

WOW - I bet you are glad you passed on the first one! This spec is gorgeous! The green with the brown interior looks amazing. Enjoy!!!
Thank you! Definitely, the first one was an all-black interior and had twice the mileage of this + a dent in the front bumper that the dealership wouldn't fix... same model year too, and it was only $4k less than this. But it nevertheless sold for asking price, cos this is the Bay Area 🤷‍♂️
