Katherine Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi, My dad posted on here previously, but I thought I would get my own account- I am looking to buy a Porsche Boxster 987. On the cosmetics side, I would ideally like something a bit unusual (I've seen beautiful ones that are blue, yellow, red etc), but I understand that most are silver or black. I am open to any suggestions, just a good service and MOT history and ideally not too high mileage! Looking up to £10,000, but ideally anything less than that would be better! If I can get one for around the £6,000 mark in good condition, that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw696 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Hi, Bought my 987.1 3.2 S Tiptronic 14 months ago 2005 bought with 55,000 miles and a full history fully detailed in a folder with original purchase invoice. To get this type of car it will cost more than £6,000 even in the current climate. We have ours now registered in France where we live and love her. Ours is a special paint order from a distance looks silver but is actually a very light blue metallic a very expensive option at purchase. We have the full leather and Carrera wheels she is a Stunner. Took us to Spain and Portugal last summer best road trip ever. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevemag Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 3.2 or 2.7?? https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1141929622816744/?ref=browse_tab&search_query=porsche&tracking={ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red rocket Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Welcome. Guess you must be @phazed's daughter looking for a 2.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy p Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 From my experience if you want a 'good one' I'm sure you will find one for anything between 6 and 8k. However if you want an excellent one with low mileage and in top condition and a really good and interesting spec you will need your full budget at least imo. My 57 plate guards red boxster has 43500 miles on it. Has full leather (dash, door cards, stereo surround) as well as sports seats, red colour coded centre console and red seat belts, bose sound system, full xenon headlights and immaculate paintwork. There is no way I would sell for less than 10k as there is nothing which will get close to it for the money. Mileage spec and condition make the prices of these cars vary quite alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanatoid Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Get yourself a login on Autotrader, then save this search and amend to add things you like/don't like and keep an eye on what's available, within a few days you'll see ones of interest - probably best not to restrict distance, mine was 400 miles away, but had a motorbike as part-ex, plus wanted low mileage and silver.https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-search?sort=relevance&postcode=rg224lx&radius=1500&make=PORSCHE&model=BOXSTER&aggregatedTrim=987&price-to=10000&exclude-writeoff-categories=on&keywords=heated seats &page=1 Things I wished I'd looked for - heated seats, not having had a car with them till after the Boxster, would have been good! Good Luck :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw696 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 I still look on Autotrader after buying ours just to keep up-to-date on values. Second heated seats for comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thanatoid Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 Bit more, 3.2S but might notice the colour :-)https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/202002046922583?price-to=16000&advertising-location=at_cars&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&sort=mileage&make=PORSCHE&radius=1500&postcode=rg224lx&exclude-writeoff-categories=on&aggregatedTrim=987 S&model=BOXSTER&keywords=heated seats &page=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw696 Posted April 27, 2020 Report Share Posted April 27, 2020 No the one we have is just perfect and for our first Porsche after having 3 V8 and one V12 Italian thoroughbreds with 400plus BHP I rate our Boxster as one of the Best cars I have owned.

Can be fun to get to meet other owners and @CAZ and friends are regulars so you wont be the only woman 👍 A trip to europe in the Boxster is a must IMHO.
