There's two Black's on Auto Trader. I think they maybe two cars that aren't on the register. I don't currently own one, but I am looking around. I'd ideally like a PASM equipped car, and definitely a Manual. Would should I look out for? Are there any problems or issues specific to the Black? Thanks in advance. 🦊 There is nothing specific to the black editions to consider re maintenance over a standard S. The first car linked does not disclose its number, there are a couple of Manual, sport chrono, PASM cars it could be from the list or it could be a new entry. The second car is a new entry: #402 Manual Sport Seats Multi function steering wheel (instead of the sport wheel) Rear parking sensors, heated seats None, Bose, Chrono, PASM, full leather If your looking be careful of the one advertised without the original spyder wheels, they would cost a fortune to replace, one of the lightest / best looking Porsche wheels ever and a sin to remove them from a black edition 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy66 Posted July 17, 2023 Report Share Posted July 17, 2023 No.644 up for sale at J R Motors Coventry. Low spec but very attractive looking. I’m torn between that and the speed yellow Boxster S that’s also for sale. Decisions decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing at 12 years its due a plug change/major service amongst other items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my very basic understanding of Boxster servicing intervals is every 20,000 miles or 2 years, whichever comes first and a big service at 12 years including gearbox? Intending to visit the garage tomorrow as they now have 3 gen 2 Boxster S cars for sale. Will check the paperwork too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arguably it is only 4 services as they have just completed the 5th - wonder if they did the "bog one" or an oil change and a wipe over with an oily rag...

Not sure but JR Motors do have a good reputation and use PorschaWerks to prep all their cars. That being said I expect that the devil will be in the detail (paperwork) and condition of the car.

Jonttt Posted September 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 A new one for the register is currently for sale #408 I've also seen stated but unverified that of the 987 Black Edition Boxsters, 85 where UK RHD. I have noted this on the register which would mean 50% of the cars are known. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 Nice entry. PSE is great but impossible to get right now. At over 10 years old you could just go for Carnewal conversion if you want a bit more noise at higher revs (quite tame on idle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie40 Posted December 1, 2023 Report Share Posted December 1, 2023 If anyone is after a black edition there’s one on autotrader , I nearly looked at it but only part service history.
