TrevMcRev Posted 10March, 2018 Report Share Posted 10March, 2018 With a few more people showing interest in joining the Boxrod Bandits, a growing movement that is said to be the new "outlaw" (which is so 2016), I thought time for a thread to post up your finds in. One thing you wont find in here... 57,247 posts about speculation of future values and investment potential. What you will find is, bargain Boxsters that will give you all the thrills in the hills you need, for the about the price of doing the brakes and a service on a GT3. Magnus is catching on... And Jerry approves... Let's kick it off with this: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/banksia-beach/cars-vans-utes/porsche-boxster-2004/1177585421 $14K 2004. Manual. 110,000klms.

All things considered I definately wouldn't pay any more, hope it works out ok for the happy owner and he joins us Boxrod crew!

Nick-PBTB Posted 13March, 2018 Report Share Posted 13March, 2018 Thought I'd throw a post in here because why not. Bought my 97 986 2.5 tiptronic mid last year for only $5000 Needed quite a few things such as water pump, new canvas top, reupholstered drivers seat, rear shocks and a bunch of general service stuff. Into it $11000 and its running beautiful with the last 2000km no dramas. Its no perfect car but she drives beautifully I couldn't praise the 986 more, an extremely under rated car.

JWM Posted 13March, 2018 Report Share Posted 13March, 2018 I walked out of the office last night and saw a silver 986 parked on the street and it really struck me. They’re really “small” these days compared to everything else on the road which makes it stand out in a way and really have a nice shape, something speedsterish I’d not noticed before. Sold myself on finding one on the spot, funny to then stumble onto this thread... ? TrevMcRev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cringe saying this...but to me, that one is not ....period correct! It belongs in an old aircooled car. Ugghhhhhh! Did I say that out loud? What am i talking about! Boxrods should be about doing what ever you want.... I went with a Momo Mod 07, which given the interior is pretty much same as 996 GT3, and it being the basis of the Porsche Motorsport wheel for the GT3, then I say it works. 2 hours ago, Troubleshooter said: Been up a couple of hours ....If it's not on the WOVR or resprayed or re engined etc etc anything wrong with it (or a scam) and his description is accurate, this one is as cheap as it gets for a perfect example.

Could you please go check it out for this guy on the forum, he goes by the name edgy? He would have a ball cutting laps in this seeing how close he can get to his GT3 times, then shooting off to the butchers to buy the finest meats with his savings! symsy, edgy, MFX and 3 others 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJM Posted 13March, 2018 Report Share Posted 13March, 2018 Bargain, despite not being in the market, I'm tempted to offer $10k sight unseen and then decide what to do with it. What else can you buy for $10k that's immaculate 90,000km and right colour combo. Throw some suspension, wheels (17" Speedline look? https://goo.gl/images/oEtPtGto imitate the original concept https://goo.gl/images/7SFQgB) and a Trev Momo steering wheel at it and it'd be cheap fun. Somebody buy it before I do! Probably not much more than my next service on the GT4! Fraz, Troubleshooter, TrevMcRev and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
