2001 Porsche 986 Boxster

This 986 Boxster has 87k miles and is now offered by the selling dealer in California with manufacturer’s literature, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title. The car is finished in Seal Grey Metallic and features a black soft top in addition to a speed-activated rear spoiler, side air intakes, and roll hoops. Photos of scratches on the front bumper cover and a ding in the body-color top boot are presented in the gallery, and the plastic rear window is fogged.

This is a re-list after the vehicle was previously sold on BaT in October 2023 and the winning bidder failed to follow through with their commitment to purchase. This was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The winner’s participation on BaT has been restricted and their buyer’s fee was not refunded.

The 17″ Boxster-Design wheels wear 205/50 front and 255/40 rear Goodyear Eagle GT tires with 2012 date codes. Braking is handled by four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over vented rotors at all four corners. A scuff is visible on the left-rear wheel.

The cabin features power-adjustable bucket seats upholstered in Graphite Gray leather along with a color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Features include a wind deflector, cruise control, automatic climate control, a Porsche CDR-220 stereo, an Arctic Silver-finished center console, and a carbon-fiber shift knob and emergency brake lever. The driver seat bolster, driver door armrest, and push-button cupholders show wear.

The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a central tachometer, a 160-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 87k miles. The mid-mounted 2.7-liter flat-six was factory rated at 217 horsepower and 192 lb-ft of torque.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. Damage is noted on portions of the front undertray, and additional photos of the underside are provided in the gallery below.
