Fishcop Posted 25May, 2020 Report Share Posted 25May, 2020 This Boxster S has popped up in my home town of Port Macquarie. Interesting ad (shit in every way) but this could be a gem if it Aus delivered and maybe had the IMS done... though I have my doubts. Nice colour and interior combo, manual and lowish kms, and has a hard roof priced at $25k. Posted here with no affiliation just in case it's the one you've been looking for. Would love to hear how you go if there's a buyer here.

base Posted 25May, 2020 Report Share Posted 25May, 2020 Before I bought my 987 I looked at quite a few 986’s. I saw a number that had much lower kms than this one. The best of the lot had LN engineering IMS installed, looked absolutely immaculate and the guy was asking $24k. So this guy who won’t budge is dreaming.

But if I was looking, it initially ticks a few boxes for me, maybe enough to phone him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 25May, 2020 Report Share Posted 25May, 2020 actually, given that it is a manual S, his price is probably not too far off - perhaps $2 or $3 K, particularly as it does have the hardtop. However, the hardtop on the silver just doesn't look quite right (or it might be hi.s pictures!!). The ones I've seen on Lapis Blue or Speed Yellow look much better. As he's not-negotiable, yes he probably will still have it in 6 months time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure it looks better in the flesh though since he’s photos aren’t the best. Jason E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardtop does add some value - if that’s what you’re looking for. Doesn’t do much for me so I don’t think this is the one for me. Also couldn’t be bothered dealing with an unreasonable/uninterested seller. 2 minutes ago, base said: There’s something about that fleshy pink interior and the hardtop that I find very unappealing.

Considering @edgy has the same colour combo and it looks amazing, I’m going to say it’s just his photography skills letting the ad down.

Also couldn’t be bothered dealing with an unreasonable/uninterested seller. Just keep a watch on it, perhaps he'll come to his senses in 6 months. Also, hardtop could be a bonus - every 3 or 4 months you see someone advertising to buy one, sell it to them and reduce you ingoing cost to the car.... Agree hardtop doesn't make much sense on a 986 as the hoods are so good - we had one for our NB MX-5 which did make things nice and snug in winter, but no need on either the 987 or the 981...

On the plus side autohaus hamilton are a respected seller and mechanic, it's aus delivered, and it's only got 70k kms on the clock. It has been listed for a few months now so I'd guess it could be picked up in the high 20's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, irrespective of the pics, I reckon just a bit of reimagining by changing all the carpet, including up the door cards, to a black along with some leather rejuvination work transforms those interiors to make them much more appealing. base 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other colours IMHO look naff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Boxster red. Imo it's a fantastic looking int under a black or silver ext. Always looks way better in real life. Black floor mats are a definate. I've had 3 and the interiors didn't differ much at all in the black accent placements - in a silver 986 S, a Black 993tt and a black 996tts. 49 minutes ago, Jason E said: Is this the "Savanah" beige? or the darker iteration? Photos Man, photos 😀 Savanah beige started around 2007 I think and is pretty nice and subtle. The beige through 986 - 996 is known as baby shit beige coz it looks shit, darker and murkier than savannah (apologies gents who have one🤐 edgy, michel, WOKA and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
