For Sale - 2006 987 Boxster


Recommended Posts

The time has come to part with my beloved Boxster, a 2006 model in Midnight Blue.

You can see all the details and pictures here but the important points are:

  • 6 speed manual, one more gear than standard for the non-S model
  • 18" wheels
  • Bose stereo
  • Two keys, both working
  • Wind deflector/inserts
  • Parking sensors
  • PASM (allows you to set the suspension between great and awesome)
  • Custom made outdoor cover
  • Near new tyres (Michelin Pilot Super Sport) and brakes (pads/rotors)
  • New battery fitted last week, along with the air-conditioning evaporator (old one was leaking)

Mechanically she is in great condition, serviced regularly by T&D, an independent Porsche specialist. Interior is in good condition, don't let the colour put you off, you get used to it and will find it very calming! No leaks from the roof, which has been restored to give even colour and increased water resistance. Paintwork is in great condition also, there are a few touched up stone chips on the bonnet which become apparent in the right light however it doesn't detract from the paintwork over all.

For peace of mind the car is covered under an extended warranty until September 2016, which is transferable for a nominal fee.

I never intended to sell her, so she has been well looked after, however a move overseas makes this sale a necessity.

Considering all the information listed above the car is priced accordingly at $30,000. I am open to reasonable offers, especially if I know that she is going to be enjoyed!

Someone is going to ask, so it may as well be me.   Has it had any IMS upgrade ?

 

Negative on the IMS upgrade.  Personally I think that whole IMS issue is a bit exaggerated, but guess that if you are of the other opinion and are keen to have it replaced for piece of mind then the asking price will allow you to keep some $$$ aside for this job.

White instrument cluster on S models from memory.  190mph / 300kmh

 

6 speed gearbox on S models only

 

Maybe Reverse is being counted as a gear in this case  :P

 

 

 

Either way, if its rust free then someone will get a nice car.  I want it too :)

If I knew I could do that I would have advertised it as a 7-speed  ;)

 

 

6 speed box on a 2.7?

 

not heard of that before, was it a factory thing?

 

Yes!  It was part of the "Sport Package" that also includes Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), look for "P04" in the listing here.

I can confirm that the non 'S' Boxster did have the option for 6 speed gearbox for Aust del model as well in this model year as i bought one new at the time. It was matched with the PASM suspension just like this one and had the round steering wheel centre rather than the v shaped one.
