alank Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Just noticed Swindon have a 2013 S pdk for £39k, I realise only 16500 miles, 1 owner, but they seem to be proving a sound investment haha. Not sure about colour scheme, no PSE, no Sports Steering wheel. In comparison, I paid £33k, 2013 (63), 18500, ,1 owner everything except PTV , from Sytners last March. When does the bubble burst and they start to devalue because everything is electric, and petrol cars are taxed to the hilt to get rid of them ?????

Afrikaner Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I agree with your comments. Check out Porsche Hatfield............2015 981 S good colour with some nice bits and low miles for 45K I bought 2 years ago this month a 2016 981 S 11k miles with 15k worth of bits for less than that. Should I give them a call? I would pay the tax if I could still afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Used Boxsters bizarrely seem to have gone up in price. 2-3 years ago a 987.1 was 8-10k, down to 6.5k for a 2.7, you might scrape 12k for a late 3.4. Other models priced accordingly. Now I'm told 11k is cheap! Something really strange has been happening over the last year or so. People only selling old cars for such high prices - you'd think they're wearing a mask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 mine cost me £60k new in 2013, can someone predict when it will be worth that again for me then? I might be tempted to part with her.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS2 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hmmmm...the Swindon car has been up for a while and I wonder if the Hatfield Boxster has just been incorrectly priced. 45k is just bonkers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I think at the moment with spring here, and lockdowns easing (hopefully) the dealers are just trying their luck. It’s possible that one or two high specced low mileage S cars might start with a 4, but most nice S cars are going to be mid 3s I expect. I think it’s perhaps not a great time to buy, but when they are still on forecourt in June they will likely be more realistically priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo_UK Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 I've been tracking prices for a while lately, summer definitely a factor as is the 6 vs 4 cylinder difference. 718s can be bought for a decent price but 981s are holding really well. No doubt helped by the rumours that the next versions will be hybrid and/or fully electric. Too early to tell how the 718 GTS 4.0 will affect the 981 prices but its at the top end of the range, there's no other 6 cyl option for those in the market for base and S versions. On the 981 GTS front, every car that comes on the market seems to be more expensive than the last! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninesomething Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Think it's just lack of stock. Everytime I look on autotrader there are less boxsters for sale. You've got a high spec car you can pretty much name your price. And some silly bugger will pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broxie Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 The problem is, and the reason I hunted down a late model 981 Boxster S two years ago was that Porsche created a gap by insisting 4 cyl turbo was the way to go. A change of heart and so now if you want that 6 cyl sound, you have to buy a 981 or front up big money for a nearly new GTS so the prices of good examples of the last of the 6 cyls is getting dragged up by that. When I looked a month or two ago, Porsche UK only had two 981 Boxster S for sale in the whole country and a couple of OPCs have asked me to "talk to them" if I want to sell. I've got a new Macan S being delivered in a month and I'm going to run the two cars alongside each other. If the Boxster doesn't get much use this summer, I know I'll have a queue of buyers for it.

No I've had a very normal year expense wise, it's cost me about £2k in maintenance. Which is normal. However I've managed barely 300 miles in the year. Which is not normal.

RS2 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 I had a similar email from Porsche about a month ago. It claimed they were looking to purchase Boxsters under 30,000 miles. I guess the OPCs really are getting short of stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
