Boxster in Guards Red - popular?

[NicD]

I am looking at trading my midnight blue 986S for an 87.2

Most at OPCs are the safe colours - grey, silver, black, dark blue.

am thinking of Carrera White for a change.

A fully optioned Guards Red S has just come on to the listings. Is this going to be difficult to shift later on?

Is red attractive only to extraverts and ...?

Sold my gaurds red 987 last summer, got a good price and sold fast

Do you like it? If yes then buy it. It's not a colour that impacts on resale. Much more interesting than silver, grey or black

Guards Red Sir? That will do very nicely.....................

Guards is a classic Porsche colour, and I think you'd have no problems re: resale.

[Actus Reus]

Agree with comments above - DDR is a classic Porsche shade. I think Carrara (not Carrera) White, may be better at resale, given the popularity of white cars at the moment, particularly as so many Porsches are ordered in safe, dark, hues. You'll be fine with red, I'd say.

If you're buying a 87.2 I would forget about colour and focus on the spec.

But if you have a choice and Carrara white is one of them, why not.

I bought a guards 987.2 last year after getting bored with silver and grey s, dont regret it one bit, i think it really suits the car. Buy what YOU want but i think red is making a comeback with porsche owners!!

[MrTickle]

Got my GTS in Guards after seeing one in the showroom. Never really considered the colour before, but it looked fantastic in the flesh. When polished and shiny it is a stunning colour.

[MadMark981]

It's a stunning colour on any Porsche - but IMHO it suits the Boxster rather well - particularly with a black roof and black leather! The only thing is that being such a "bold" colour - you do get noticed .....

It should however be noted that when dirty it's as dull as dishwater, so investment in cleaning is recommended.

I bought a guards red car, and it looks stunning, and everyone comments on how nice the colour is.

[Moog72]

I almost went down the white or silver route when I bought my Boxster (albeit the 981 variant), but almost at the last minute decided that a car like that needed a bold colour and so went for Guard's Red. Don't regret it for a minute, but you do attract a lot of attention!

I don't buy a car for resale purposes, I buy something that I like and want to drive.

Any excuse for a pic

Its a sports car, it needs a sporty colour. Guards Red is a classic colour and all of Porsches sports models look good in it. Guards Red always polishes up well and just glows when given the full wax treatment. If you trade up to a 987 3.4S you won't regret it after the 986 it's a big step forward. How good is the spec on the car?

Just hurry up and buy it so that you can enjoy the sunshine before winter arrives.

I went yellow with my 981s, but have seen a few in red, one in Leeds earlier today in fact.

Gorgeous, really suits the car. If they'd had one in that colour with the same spec it would have been a hard call to make.

[Timbo_Mint]

Yes to Guards Red.... Look great on the Boxster.

On my Spyder it make it a rare colour on a rare car ... Like someone above has said , any excuse to post a pic

[Klippie]

Guards Red looks fantastic...and as previously said a classic Porsche colour, when I went looking for a Cayman it had to be Gaurds.

Just go buy it and enjoy one of the best cars in one of the best looking colours.

Firstly, you should buy what you want!

Secondly, I dont think it makes much difference, lets face it, they all drop pretty heavily.

If anything, colours are back in vogue, so it could be a bonus?

[NicD]

I would, its a great spec BUT shmbo just said NO to red.
I cant make any headway, so back to white

Best
