I have sold quite a few Boxsters over the years on Ebay as no-reserve auctions. At the end of the day, what they sell for this way is what they are worth.

I was going to post if that there were decent spec 987.2 3.4 manuals at £14k I'd be very tempted to sell up my 550 with the aim being to swap for close to no extra cash in.

Or keep both, like Gutley… I can't see me buying another regular ish Boxster and running 2! They would be driven even less than the one now. I could see my buying a 987 Spyder maybe. But to be honest there are too many other good cars to try both moderns and classics to be stuck with 2 normal ish Boxsters. My plan was to move house and I prioritises a double garage. Got that now but one half the garage has a load of stuff that it's a distant dream to put another car there for now 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 So that would be going back up at £17-18k retail I guess. I've had a look at the links posted, thanks to you guys, but they appear to be outlier advertised prices rather than a general advertised price trend.

I would estimate that it will be for sale with a dealer by the end of the week for 20k. I will post the link if I see it come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably take a bit more than £2k off for a car a year older with 89k instead of 63k miles.

edc Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I presumed it was £15k all in which would have had £17k at the very low end of re-sale. But yes, hight teens is where I would have thought the 'normal' price might be rather than at £14k retail. I expect prices will dip a bit more.

Being Lincolnshire born and bred though I have even deeper pockets and shorter arms compared to those spendthrifts over in Yorkshire and I've bought newish cars from auction in the past to avoid lining car dealer's pockets. 3 hours ago, Davey P said: He is also a man of impeccable taste and good judgement, as the buyer (and as far as I can tell, still the proud owner....) of my old Boxster Hi Davey, Your car is still going strong. All the jobs it needed apart from the corroded exhaust flange bolts now done. It lives out on the drive in all weathers getting used and abused as a daily driver. The new HID bulbs in the headlights even put out enough light now to see the road when driving at night, and they slipped past the MOT tester, with the car passing two MOTs without advisories! It's currently wearing a set of immaculate 18" Cayman wheels with a set of nearly new Michelin Alpin 5 winter M+S tyres that I picked up for a song in the summer. Those tyres really stick like .... to a blanket. The original wheels will go for a powder coating refurb in January. It's a great car and no plans to sell yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really nice to hear mate, I'm glad you're still enjoying it. I spent a fair amount in the first few months of ownership after I bought it, but I've got to say, once those issues were sorted out it proved to be extremely reliable and was a joy to own. It was a fantastic introduction to the Porsche world, obviously made even better by my membership on here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
