Porsche 718 Boxster
The 718 Boxster initially featured controversial turbocharged flat-fours before Porsche reintroduced the beloved naturally aspirated flat-six in later models. Early cars are an affordable entry to a modern Porsche, while the GTS 4.0 and Spyder are highly sought-after collectibles.

Introduced for the 2017 model year, the 718 Boxster (internal code 982) represented a significant shift. Porsche replaced the previous generation's naturally aspirated flat-six with a new range of turbocharged flat-four engines. While the new engines produced more torque and were more efficient, the change in sound and character was controversial among purists. The chassis, however, remained a benchmark for handling and balance, continuing the Boxster's reputation as one of the best sports cars available.
The market for the 718 Boxster is distinctly split. In 2020, Porsche reintroduced a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six for the GTS 4.0 and Spyder models, which quickly became the most desirable variants for collectors and driving enthusiasts. These flat-six cars, along with the top-tier Spyder RS, command significant premiums and have strong value retention. In contrast, the earlier flat-four models have depreciated more, making them a more accessible entry into modern Porsche ownership.
With an average sale price around $70,621 across 82 transactions, the 718 market is active. Buyers can find high-mileage base models at the bottom of the market or pay well over six figures for a limited-production Spyder or a well-optioned GTS 4.0. The car's dual identity, as both an approachable sports car and a future classic, defines its current position.
Buying Tips
- Decide between the turbocharged 2.0L/2.5L flat-four and the naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six; their power delivery and sound are completely different.
- Check for desirable performance options like Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), and the Sport Chrono Package.
- For manual transmission cars, request a DME report to check for over-revs, which can indicate potential engine damage.
- Thoroughly inspect the operation of the power convertible top, ensuring it moves smoothly and seals correctly without any leaks.
- Scrutinize the service history, especially on early 2017-2018 models, to ensure all software updates and any technical service bulletins have been addressed.
Prices range from $30,000 for early models to $125,500 for top-spec Spyder and GTS 4.0 variants.
