Who donates a Porsche Boxster? Ok, I guess I’d donate a Porsche Boxster if it had a busted headlight, thrashed interior, and a bad battery…wait…NO, NO I would not donate a car that just needs a battery. Get a new battery and turn this thing into a track car or something. Find this 1998 Porsche […]
I can’t imagine you could go wrong with a $2500 used Porsche Boxster. Worst case is you could lose…I dunno…$2500. A new Boxster costs $65,500 starting and it costs $2580 if you want the green paint option and another $2520 for full leather interior…so I’m going to say that a used Boxster that just needs […]
Boxing day is not a celebration of Rocky Marciano…no…not quite. Boxing day is the second day of Christmastide and was traditionally a day when poor people where given gifts, but it is now been co-oped by big business as a shopping day where poor people give their money to rich people for cheap trinkets. At […]
The 986 generation Porsche Boxster was released in 1997 as a low end offering to fill the gap left by the obsolescence of Porsche 968 (the last of the 924/944/928/968 cars) and it was immediately in the crosshairs. Could this mid-engine roadster upstage the unflappable Porsche 911? Would Porsche let it have the power that it never gave to the 914 and have something with its engine ahead of the rear axle that could dethrone the mighty rear engine 911? The answer is, of course, no Porsche never gave the Boxster power or tires to beat the 911 around a racetrack, but the handling and feel of the Boxster is something magical and this next example might be the basic 2.5 liter 201 horsepower version, but it has only 25k miles on the odo and is offered for pennies on the dollar.

This next car is a 2001 Porsche Boxster offered for $2000…so something has to be grenaded in the expensive Porsche 2.5 liter flat-6 engine. That is not good…so you’ll need to fix that…but those Porsche parts are “oh so expensive”…perhaps a Fiero Iron Duke 4-banger or a Buick 3800 supercharged V6 would fit out back? What do you guys think — what should repower this porked Porsche? Find this 2001 Porsche Boxster offered for $2000 in Phoenix, AZ via craigslist.
The Cayman was a fixed roof variant of the 2nd generation Boxster, released by Porsche for the 2006 model year. While older Boxsters have been cheap for decades, the Cayman had managed to keep its price high as sales volumes were low and the prestige was high(er than a Boxster) …but how far the mighty have fallen. To about 25% of their original MSRP to be exact. Find this 2007 Porsche Cayman offered for $16,850 in Summerlin, NV via craigslist.
You don’t have to be an expert in the automotive market to see how cheap used Boxsters have become — it probably has something to do with Porsche stamped them out like boxes of number 2 pencils headed to your local dollar mart. Various interweb sources claim something like 160,000 of the 986 designated convertibles […]
I hate paying premium price for anything…which is why I spend a large part of my day obsessing over used cars, scouring the web for cars that have depreciated into the basement and can be purchased with your coronavirus stimulus check. However…there is something captivating about time capsule cars — those which appear to have […]
When Porsche released its mid-engine Boxster in 1997, it wasn’t just the first roadster to be designed since the original 550 Spyder, but it was also the first mid-engine Porsche to hit the road after the Porsche 914, which was really a Volkswagen project if you believe the web. Anyway, if you wanted a hardtop […]
Ten thousand dollars doesn’t get you much in Guard’s Red with the Porsche crest on the hood and an S badge on the trunk…but if you choose carefully you might be able to get something with fairly low miles and a 6-speed manual box. Did I mention it handles well too? Find this 2002 Porsche Boxster […]
