While some cars are debatably tailored, others are clearly so and likely one-of-one depending on the measure. We’re guessing this 2006 Boxster S showing up at a California Mazda dealer may be the latter. The color (bonus points to Mazda Escondido for being aware of this and including it int he listing) is Paint to Sample Rolex Green.
According to Porsche Club North America’s Rennbow color wiki‘s rating system, it may not be that rare a color, though it’s the first time we’ve logged one on this site. That there’s only one sample photo in PCA’s system and it’s likely this specific car seems to underline the fact that it’s unique.
However, the details don’t end there. Here again, credit to Mazda Escondido for listing the specifics. They are:
“6-Speed Manual! PTS Rolex Green! Really High Spec Boxster S! Ceramic brakes, Full Leather, Cocoa Top, Bose Audio and so much more! A Well Loved Car and it shows!! Clutch replaced less than 10k miles ago, New tires last year and no expense spared by the previous owner!

All-in-all, this car is such a rare thing. Unlike today where the Boxsters get GT engines, back in 2006 the Boxster was just Porsche’s entry level car. Going this deep into options, Paint to Sample and Exclusive Manufaktur extras was exceedingly rare. Now throw in a choice color combination with a thematic match to the corporate colors of one of the most desirable watch companies and this car makes such a very compelling case… even if 987.5 Boxsters aren’t your thing.
Worth noting, we do see some wear. The CarFax shows damage (at some point) to the front. This isn’t visible in the photos, suggesting the bumper may have been repaired. There also appears to be some damage on the driver’s side of the rear bumper where Mazda Escondido took a close-up photo. Inside, we’re seeing wear on the driver’s side outer bolster too.
Wear or not, this is an exceptionally appointed car, and such a tailored specimen under $20,000 is truly something special. If you’re seeking a unique tailored car on a budget, we can’t remember the last time we saw something better than this at this low a number. Go get it.
