The second-generation 987 Boxster refined the mid-engine formula with more power, better looks, and a much-improved interior. It remains a performance bargain, with collector focus shifting toward the later 987.2 models and rare variants like the Boxster Spyder.

The 987 Boxster replaced the original 986 in 2005, bringing more power, a stiffer chassis, and updated styling that moved it closer to the 911. The interior was a major improvement over its predecessor, shedding the controversial 'fried egg' headlights and receiving higher quality materials. Early 987.1 cars (2005-2008) used the M97 engine family, while the 2009 refresh introduced the 987.2 with the stronger, direct-injected 9A1 engine and the optional 7-speed PDK transmission.
Collectors are increasingly drawn to the 987 for its analog driving feel combined with modern reliability and comfort. The 987.2 models are especially sought after because their 9A1 engine design eliminates the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing, a known weak point in earlier cars. Special editions like the Boxster Spyder and the RS60 Spyder are already highly collectible and command significant premiums.
With an average sale price under $24,000, the 987 Boxster represents a fantastic value in the modern Porsche market. While the best 987.2 examples and Spyders pull strong money, driver-quality cars offer an affordable entry point. It's a sweet spot of performance, usability, and price that's hard to beat.
Prices range from $6,900 for early, high-mileage cars to $59,900 for low-mileage special editions.
