WOKA Posted 4May, 2018 Report Share Posted 4May, 2018 Had time to kill today so I thought I'd check out the obscure and have a look at this.. Thought it would be an auction house special, but was pleasantly surprised by its overall very nice condition. Good, original, very clean. 2.5l :( Not for me, but it was en-route to my destination.

I could see why some owners would consider a larger sump with baffles option Have it checked for over revs. It's pricey but lots has been done. It seems the costs are still fresh for him. Low klms and nice interior from the pics available. Ask your insurance for an agreed value policy quote, honest way to find the market like it or not. You don't want to overpay for a boxster, the values are decreasing slowly. Great idea. I guess there is no way he will show his hand on what the stealers offered.

firstone Posted 4May, 2018 Report Share Posted 4May, 2018 Redbook lowest value would give you guide there. Sounds like he won't be easy to neg with. The value is there I guess if you had to buy it and fix those things. Would easily owe him that much. Nearly 987 non s territory though.

Go for it they're a great car, I've got 2 x 986 S's. This one sounds like it was owned by an anal retentive retired engineer. Screw him down -20% - highest trade in he'd be offered would be about 14 or 15k Daly87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pokiou Posted 8May, 2018 Report Share Posted 8May, 2018 i know someone selling a boxster for 8 grand with engine problems and a few other things. Would make a good project car. I don't know him personally but i've seen it advertised. Let me know if anyone wants a look at the ad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWM Posted 11May, 2018 Report Share Posted 11May, 2018 This might be a nice original early one (or junk at some random little dealer somewhere) https://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Porsche-Boxster-1997/OAG-AD-15941992 edit: the way the drivers door looks resrayed I’m leaning towards the later, so perfect Boxrodding material ?
