There are a lot now in the Porsche Club championship - and that’s before the dealers’ cars have joined - and they’re appearing in other non-Porsche series too like 750MC Roadsports and CSCC Modern Classics.

That's got better options and a nicer history, but not nearly £7k worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the baron Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 986 only going one way at moment, about time too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcoles Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Blimey! Same colour scheme as mine, similar fat file of service records, similar IMS work and has better options but is a pre facelift 2002 with 101k on the clock. Was thinking of getting rid of mine not so long since. Think I’ll Hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxie Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 I was thinking that about the 987s too. Paragon have got one that seems very strong on price: http://paragongb.com/cars/porsche-boxster-s-for-sale-gn05bbv Amusing they mask the number plates in their photos buy give the game away in their choice of url ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how is your 986S doing? Has it gone up in value too? (i.e. all back together and running well) Fingers-crossed. We'd love to hear your updates... Cheers, Baggers.

kevs Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 My vote would be for keeping it. Fantastic cars - especially on days like today with the hood down. If prices are beginning to creap up, all the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view would be to keep, if you can keep on top of stuff that needs doing you'll always have a top quality sports convertible. And personally I think a 986 in top condition has the look to become a future classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a 2004 Seal Grey 3.2 S, 64000 miles with FPSH via a forum member last year for £9995. So far she's only cost me a water pump, brake switch and some light bulbs plus the obligatory mid service-interval oil change. I also managed to find a Seal Grey HardTop for a relative bargain which polished up very nicely indeed. I keep telling the Mrs that I'm holiding onto this one after getting burned selling a Z3M Coupe just before the prices rocketed. I'm standing by that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CliveH Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I'll find myself in a 986 one day but it won't be for the investment potential. So far I've missed out on that "classic" experience other than short rides courtesy of some forum friends and will have to scratch that 986 itch sooner rather than later. As for how prices are moving, as a regular visitor to the likes of autotrader and pistonheads classifieds I can't say that there is any strong upward movement as yet, other than the usual summer uplift. If and when values do start to climb, which I think they will, I can't imagine that they will approach the dizzy heights that 964s and 993s have reached in recent times. It goes without saying that those with lower mileage, full Porsche or specialist service history, and the special editions will command higher prices and hold stronger long term values.

bpj Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 To be honest, cars are never investments anyway. Even if they were going up £5k per year, after fuel and maintenance alone you'd barely break even on a well used car. It's nice to know they're holding their value, though!

Pinewood Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 Whilst this will be true of any 2 seater Porsche (store it for long enough in temp controlled warehouse). I don't see the point for 99% of owners. Cars should be driven and enjoyed. There I said it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ss986] Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Prices will only go up when people decide they'd rather own a Boxster 986 rather than a 987 or later models etc. Once that sense of nostalgia kicks in after time it's hard to stop the price increases.. Added price value creats a bit more desire to own one too imo. Old owners that loved them but couldn't afford to run them as youngster will also come back too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, if any of us are buying our 986 with the primary focus being investment potential then 1) you wouldn't buy the car you have now 2) your maths is surely bad as the amount you will have undoubtedly reinvested in servicing and parts etc will outstrip any return. i do agree with you that all money spent on my car in the years to come will outstrip any return, but, running costs are very rarely recouped. if i sell my car in a few years for more money then i will be one happy person, most cars are sold at a loss. i do think these cars will go up and even if its only a little its still a plus. im not in anyway thinking these cars will do what aircooled have, but its still nice to have a car that you can drive in the knowledge that its not going down in price. ps. when i said 84000 and low mileage, i did mean low mileage for the age of my car.... sorry if you misunderstood.
