djy Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hi, I'm looking to buy another Boxster S. I've got a limited budget, I'm looking for a 987.2 Boxster S. I've seen this red gen 2 Boxster S in red with the Sport Design body kit. I understand it was owned by a Porsche club member. Was the owner on here: https://www.qualitycarstoday.co.uk/vehicle-details/Porsche-Boxster-34-S-Manual-GEN-2-U909/ Interested to talk about the car if you are. Shame I didn't buy it from you privately, as we're both based in Bournemouth! Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Only 2 Dorset PCGB members on here as far as i know and neither of us owned that one . Very nice looking example. I don't know the car but i'll tag @chrishak to see whether he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim o'hara Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 that invoice in May 2019 is bleeding high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Don't know the car but it looks great. 19" Spyder alloys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Looks very nice, good to see strong money being asked as well - keeps the rest of ours up as well. Nice clean MOT history too, but why the 2 services so close together in 2019? someone had their pants pulled down by the OPC though for that invoice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBD914 v2 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Nice car, can't seem to nail down the current actual mileage though...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluepork03 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 The clock shows 64,123 on one of the pictures. Shouldn't be much more than that assuming a few test drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy p Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Jesus that opc service, bet that was a pre sale opc service done by them to help a sale. My old 987 spyder had one done with just 11000 miles on the clock totalling £2500!! When you look at what actual new parts you got it was mostly their labour costs!!

Jason986S Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 That’s a bloody lovely car to be fair. Lovely spec and the best wheels. Shame it doesn’t have PASM or Chrono, but i’m a sucker for red sports cars, especially with the cosmetic options on this beauty. I assumed it was going to be about £20k before looking at the price. What would the same car be worth with say 85k mikes in a private sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djy Posted March 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Thanks for all the replies. The car is nearly perfect, could do with Sport mode and Bose to be my perfect spec, obviously the history couldn’t really be better. I think I’m going to hold out for a car with fewer miles though. Plus I think the price is too high at the moment. I’ve been watching gen 2 Boxsters and the same cars have been for sale for months now, nothing’s moving.

Jason986S Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 @djy have you tried making a lower cheeky/sensible offer circa £18k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 I would wait at least 2 more weeks when the economic cuts really come in and offer even lower ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djy Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Nice as the red one is, it seems very expensive compared to this: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202002187453667?year-from=2009&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&sort=price-asc&model=BOXSTER&aggregatedTrim=987 S&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=bh255gt&radius=1500&make=PORSCHE&page=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djy Posted March 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I did make a provisional offer of £16k on the black one, but the vendor has said he's now reserved it for someone. With everything that's going on, I'm trying to find a sub 60k mile 3.4 S gen2 for less than £16k. But it needs to be a good spec in a nice colour. Not too keen on the grey personally.
