I am trying to help my brother find a Porsche and thought you guys might help me cast as large of a net as possible. The specifics are as follows and the car needs to be in the U.S.A.
2013-14 Porsche Boxster
-PDK ( mandatory) < — its going to be his daily and NY traffic punishes the manual user.
- Exterior: G aurds Red ( preference )
-I nterior: Beige
- Bose sound system < — if its got it then great but not a deal breaker
- Multifunction steering wheel
- Navigation
Those are pretty much the big items. Obviously the lower mileage and cheaper the car is the better. Hopefully I can find candidates with the usual suspects but I figured I might ask you guys if you've seen any.

Its 2015, but the Beige interior seems extremely hard to find. It does have PDK, navigation, no idea on the Bose speakers though.
The wheels are gaudy as hell, no idea on the navigation (does have a centre console screen), beige interior, its a 2014, PDK, again, no idea on the Bose system.
Last but not least, PDK, beige interior, 2013 model, its a different shade of red and I cant find out if it has navigation on it, add to that that its a Base model, Im not sure if it has the Bose system either.

Thanks! I have seen the 2nd link before and I agree it is gaudy as hell. It almost could have been saved if it was just the wheels but theres some interior choices that arent ideal.

These years are known for total engine failure - CPO or GTFO.

You are not going to find a red over beige. You just are not. Even f inding anything besides black is an act of god thing.

No worries, the onl y thing I get annoyed about US websites for carsales is the need to add a postal code. Dutch postal codes dont work, lol.

Good luck. I’ve been looking for Boxsters/Caymans for a while now, and it’s quite literally impossible to find one with a colored exterior AND interior .
Out of the 657 Boxsters/Caymans for sale in the country (on cars.com) , only 35 have a real color for both the interior/exterior, and only 9 have a manual.

Worst case scenario I have brought up wrapping the car if he cant find one in the color he wants. There has to be at least one in the country matching what he wants.

What is life witho ut rolling the dice once or twice? Unfortunately CPOs arent the silver bullet we wish them to be. There are a few I have been able to find though none seem to have everything he is looking for yet. I have been showing him a few yellow ones with the black interior and he seems to like them too. One thing that might help is I am pretty much willing to go anywhere in the states to find one.

Yeah, Porsche’s national pre-owned site is the answer there. Some local dealers may even be willing to source and ship for you.
And no, CPO isn’t a silver bullet by any means. 2 years, unlimited miles ain’t bad. But you want all the warranty you can get on one of these. And Porsche will let you buy more on a CPO.
Personally, my take? He lives where the air hurts your face. Drop top is a bad idea. Go Cayman. Same car, without the freezing to death in winter. Also “less sexy” so tends to be cheaper.
And I found him the ‘everything’ in blue.
PDK, Night Blue Metallic, Luxor Beige, steering wheel audio, Bose.
2017 PDK, Graphite Blue, Luxor Beige, steering wheel audio, Bose, warranty to 2023.
... sigh. Fine.
Yes. That is the exact build he is looking for except for the audio controls. It’s CPO’d. At that price, plenty of money left to upgrade to the heated multifunction wheel .
