what would you pay for a 2003 boxster S? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Just to give you an idea, I just bought an '03 S model for $38,500. 8,500 miles, 18" Carrera wheels, litronics, PSM, heated seats, DSP Stereo, cruise, and colored caps.

wow that's a nice price for a basically brand new car.
Who/where did you buy it?

I found it on autotrader.com
He was asking $39,000.

That's allot of car you got for less than 40K.

I considered waiting until the new year when the 987 would come out and presumably prices of older cars would come down but the mileage on my Boxster convinced me to get on it.
That glass rear window and Carrera wheels really sets it apart.
Is it tiptronic?

No it's a 6-speed.

I also considered an '05, but decided that I could get this, and with a little bit of work have it be just as fast, for a whole lot less money. I only looked at '03's and '04's because I wanted the glass rear window and the additional HP.

I had a 2000 Boxster a few years ago, but thought it was a little too under-powered. So I sold it and bought a 2000 911, but it wasn't as much fun to drive. Hopefully the "S" will be the best of both worlds.

Good luck. :dance:

BTW-the 03 S is plenty fast enough as it is!

I thought the 03-04 S is only 10 horses quicker than earlier S?
I guess I could spend $1000 for the difference...or maybe not.
