1998 Boxster Options - Option Updates

Porsche AG has informed us of some immediate changes that you must be aware of. These changes do effect the preliminary order guide which was issued to you on June 27, 1997. Those options which are effected are listed below with an explanation as to their current status.

Option 436 Three spoke Steering Wheel and Option P77 are no longer available for MY 1998. Please strike these options from your preliminary guide. In conjunction with P77 the corresponding interior codes CD, AY, SL and EE are also no longer available for MY 1998. Options 421 and 424 will not be standard equipment as indicated in the preliminary order guide. These two options will have to be ordered as in MY 1997.

Option P69 "Sport Design" package and Option 580 Non Smokers package will not be available for MY 1998.

Option 329 Cassette Radio Will automatically be added to the order, therefore, it is no longer necessary to order this option. If you upgrade to a CD player you will have to order the corresponding M-option 688.

Please keep this bulletin with your order guide for quick reference. Vehicles ordered incorrectly due to misplacement of this bulletin will be the sole responsibility of the ordering Dealer. Please make copies for your sales staff.

Option XRB-18" Sport Classic Wheels /Tires, Option XRK-18" Turbo look Wheels/Tires, X68- Convertible (tonneau cover) color of roof, X69- Carbon door sills with Boxster logo, XAA- Boxster Aerokit, XAB- Speedster rear painted in color of car body (no exceptions), XD9- Rims painted in exterior color, XE3- Automatic dimming rear view morror and XX2- Foot space lighting are new Boxster options.

If you wish to add one of these new options to an existing order, please check your Order Status report. If the order has not been released to PAG (ACPORD) you may change the order yourself for efficiency and per policy. By entering the Inventory Manager option of your IDCS system you will be able to select the desired vehicle by using Option 2 (Order Edit). As long as the order reads (ACPORD) you may add or change options and comments. Once the order has been modified press F7 to process all changes that were made. Confirmation of your change request is immediate on those orders you change yourself. Only if the order has been released (MFGCNF) are you to submit an Order Change Request form to Vehicle Distribution attention (Ramona) to request that PAG change the order. Vehicle Distribution will respond via return fax on those order changes that PCNA must process on your behalf.

Porsche AG has informed Porsche Cars North America, Inc. that Exclusive option XRB 18" Sport Classic Wheels P69 ( Sport Design Package Mandatory with interior code AZ ) is now available. Please review the updated Order Guide page for specific information regarding P69.
