Roger C Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Spotted this on autotrader, seems too good to be true what with very low mileage and a hardtop included, what do you guys think?? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201902034564546 Rog.

Takahashi Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 private seller so probably priced to suit that. I didnt pay much more for my S with a million options ticked though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_McUK Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 I would say thats about right for a private sale on a 2.7. If it was an S it would probably command a bit more (£1-2K extra depending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Very small wheels, no heated seats, but xenons. Price seems reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guvs Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Sounds like a good buy, a bit basic on extras but that is reflected in the price, you need to drive it and check it (and the seller) out before buying. Hope it turns out to be the one your looking for. Guvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Yep, I would agree with previous comments; seems pretty fair to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat haggis Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Yes seems a fair price. You will get a fair few £££ selling the 987 hardtop in black (goes with any colour)as they are like hens teeth 🦷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 987 hard tops go for over 1k IIRC so that would significantly mitigate the price if the new owner doesn't want it (and most 987 owners don't). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Appears to have BOSE, a fire extinguisher and some kind of aftermarket handsfree MIC fitted - so possibly an upgrade for phone & music has been installed - which is good if its a good unit that's been installed - because that upgrade isn't cheap and it seems to be a thing that folks do a lot. Interesting its lited with "1 minor repair" - if thats a running repair (mechanical) then why list it without saying what it was - and if its a body repair then again, if you are going to mention it - then details are important. Doesn;t appear to have central wind deflector (not the mesh in the roll hoops) - believe it was an option and is entirely possible to retro fit - but not cheap. Mine has them and I "think" they make a difference - others may have an opinion - but I don't read of many people removing them if you have them. None of which are necessarily an issue, just my observations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guvs. Too far from me mate and TBH something doesn't 'feel' right about it, as it happens we are off to look at a silver one on Saturday, if it's as good as the ad and what the owner has been telling me then I'm fairly sure we will be driving it home..😀 Rog.

Greenman Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Quite a lot of MOT advisories on brake pipes/discs etc over the years, looks like discs were initially due for replacement around 25k miles which seems quite early to me?

Mattman42 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 MOT history is a bit of a horror story and looks like you are in for new brakes and discs pretty soon which can be an expensive job. As others have said, looks like someone has stolen the wheels and replaced them with trolley wheels! they could of at least hoovered it before taking the photos, doesn't inspire confidence of a well cared for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 How about this one - sounds like its had some money spent on it and looks clean https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/porsche/boxster-987-05-12/porsche-boxster-987-24v-------------------2005/9362064 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guvs Posted February 14, 2019 Report Share Posted February 14, 2019 Sounds promising 👍 I went to London from South Wales for my 2 Boxsters, both of them I test drove before putting any money down, I must of been lucky as I bought the both of them.

Takahashi Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 as above, be prepared to travel, i went to look at mine on the way back from a meeting in Cantebury via North London (I'm in north Stafford).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's spent it's early life on the west coast in Scotland, in which case you'd need to give it a very careful check underneath for any further corrosion as well as the coolant pipe junctions in the front sub frame.
