The 987 Boxster S, introduced for the 2005 model year, was a significant evolution of Porsche's mid-engine roadster. It featured more powerful engines and updated styling that moved it closer to the 911, with new oval headlights replacing the 986's controversial design. Early 987.1 models used an evolution of the M96 engine called the M97, but the big update came in 2009. The 987.2 generation received Porsche's new 9A1 direct-injection engine, which eliminated the problematic intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing and offered more power, along with the option of a quick-shifting PDK dual-clutch transmission.
The 987 Boxster S is highly collectible because it offers one of the last analog Porsche driving experiences. Its hydraulic steering, naturally aspirated flat-six, and balanced chassis provide feedback that many newer cars lack. Collectors and enthusiasts seek out the 2009-2012 models for their improved reliability and performance. With an average sale price under $30,000, the 987 S provides an accessible entry point to modern Porsche ownership and a driving experience that punches well above its price point.
Prices for the 987 Boxster S range from approximately $10,200 for project cars to $60,000 for pristine, low-mileage examples.
