I'm updating my May 2016 post (below).
So in the past two years I've added another 11,000 miles for a total of 32,000. In addition to two rear tires and two oil changes, I will have the cv boots replaced next week. The interior bits (silverish parts - e brake handle, arm rests, etc. are becoming marked up (they were flawless when I bought the car), and the top is starting to show wear. Trying to keep it as perfect as possible for a seven month daily driver... wheels and leather are still pristine and it's still a thrill to drive it, especially with the top down when the weather allows. I'm going to have the silverish interior bits painted later this year. Purchase price (in US$) $17,500 Purchase date 6/15/2014 Mileage - 10,400 State/Country where purchase - Illinois Model year - 2000 S model Color - Arctic Silver / Black Manual Any aftermarket accessories that came with the car (including but not limited to wheels, suspension, IMS upgrade, ect.) None Your assessment of the vehicle history in terms of paperwork/receipts (1-10, 10 being highest) 8 Your assessment of the interior quality (1-10, 10 being highest) 10 Your assessment of the exterior quality (1-10, 10 being highest) 10 Your assessment of the mechanical condition of the vehicle (1-10, 10 being highest) 10 The car was perfectly detailed, pristine condition, new set of Pilots, almost all records, maintained by the book, not a scratch on it. I've put 11,000 miles on it (stored in winter) and, aside from two oil changes, have only had to replace the cap on the coolant container. The only thing that would make it better would be if we'd only get some top-down weather. |
Hi Bald Eagle. I do not miss the weather back in Valpo. I lived there for 17 years but worked in Chicago. My daughter still lives there. Moved to Colorado in 2011. Weather here is so much better. I drive the Boxster all year here.

I called LN Engineering when I found the sticker with the kit number on the driver side door sill and they verified the bearing kit was sold (total dual bearing/seal kit) to an Indy shop in Denver. From what I have been able to determine is was preventive, no issues, and was done at the time of a clutch assembly replacement. It was done about year before I bought the car. I have put 6,000 miles on the car and no issues. |
After seeing what everyone has been paying for 00S I feel I was in the correct price range.

Just to continue the thread. 01 Base Box with 245k miles was run over in a parking garage and considered a total loss. Got a check for $7,700. Car was in good condition...my daily driver.

Where purchased - San Francisco Bay area Color - Arctic Silver/Grey Tiptronic Came with Factory Hardtop, Original Window Sticker, Owners Manuals, Center Wind Screen, Heated Memory Seats, Computer, Cruise Control.

Purchased 2 additional Keys. It still feels like a good deal and cheap fun! Just turned 99,000. miles going to need tires soon. |
There is just something wrong in this world when we can buy these cars in decent operating condition, for less than I paid for my freakin’ mountain bike. Just crazy.

Fair prices for these "S" Models?

1998 Base - 4,000
Purchase Date: August 2020 64,444 miles Where: Southern Maryland Color: Silver 5 Speed I’m the 4th owner Been sitting parked for several years. |
I'll play, even though I know I paid too much. The second owner moved into our neighborhood a few months ago and did not have space in his garage. That plus an upcoming wedding to pay for pushed him to sell. He also sold a nice boat.
It was nice to walk over to his house and see the car, take test drives etc. End of the day, I didn't want to push too hard on the price. The car had low miles, was garage kept, and seemed like in good shape. Wife and I said YOLO. Although in my mind $10,500 would have been a better and still fair price. 2001 Base - $11,500 Purchase Date: July 2020 47,800 miles Where: Southern Maryland Color: Seal Gray Tiptronic, with Factory Hardtop The first owner had this car from new until March 2019. Serviced at Porsche Arlington. Arlington or Annapolis are 1.5-2hrs away, FYI. Second owner drove the car about 1000 miles between March 2019 and when he sold it to me. He did nothing to the car other than an oil change in 2019. |
Mine,
2002 Base 79000 miles Paid: 9500.00 Purchased:: March 2019 Lapis Blue / Tan repair receipts=11 K in the last year before I bought it. complete clutch and RMS, ( no IMS but a new cover ) go figure. 5 spd,OBC,PSM,Bose system,heated seats,new top w glass window ( don't like it) does not leak or burn oil. what it needs: brakes soon,suspension work,chain rails/guides most likely. Just love driving this car !! |
broke about even...NOT
2001 986 S 6-speed black on black
Paid 7500 Purchased April 2016 72K very well optioned, full leather, litronics, memory seats, speaker box, 18" wheels etc. bad repair on the front bumper wrap and paint on the hood (it was scratched, no dent) repair was 1200 I drove the car for years, 30K miles, and wrenching myself, I repaired and upgraded virtually everything on the car. Beautiful car. Engine pulled strong and ran flawlessly. Sold last month for 14K with 102,000 miles on it. I got a good price and buyer got a good car. |

That seems a matter of getting a crazy deal up front where the money was made. And selling for a crazy price, as well. What sucker pays $14k for an S with 102k ? Won on both sides. Very well done, but seems like a perfect storm. |
I will play too.. fun to see trends, hopefully give new owners perspective on what they might expect (especially without good history)
Purchased Fall 2019 2001 986 S 6spd Seal Gray / Black interior / Black top 50300 Miles at purchase Sport bucket seats (heated), Sport package, Sport design package (have to look up the difference of these two one day), 18" turbo twists w/color crests, PSM. Body had a few scratches, nothing bad, no dents carfax 100% clean, no accidents etc.. I am the 5th owner... first 2 were short, 3rd had the car for most of it's life, 4th was friend of owner 3 and had it for 2 yrs. Mechanically good a purchase but NO history, had a full fabspeed headers / cats / maxflo installed and tune, otherwise stock. The reverse lights were out so I had to replace the switch on the tranny for inspection (prev owner always parked in reverse) Paid 10,500. Since: I did the AOS within a month of purchase as it failed cleaned intake / throttle body /plenum (self - ~145) Filters (cabin / air / fuel) (self ~$90) Pioneer 2550NEX head unit (self - ~$350) vent debris fix ($10? self) Front trunk struts (self $24) Plugs / tune up (self $53) Replaced both visor mirrors (euro style without airbag sticker) (self ~$175) Water pump / Thermostat (preventative / maintenance) (self ~$550 w/ porsche coolant) expansion tank (leaking / repair ) (self ~$300) Motor mount (old) (self ~$200 with carrier) right door microswitch (just started acting up) (self $40) so: $1927 in on top so far, but am feeling really good that I have done a lot of the major stuff. Oil analysis came back excellent and she pulls like hell. I also spent ~450$ on 2003 style oem headlights and euro sidemarkers from a forum member recently but this was completely optional. My stock eggs were okay. My mileage sits at 53000 now. I do also acknowledge that I will have a clutch / IMS eventually (prob 1-2 years). Unless I purchase a lift this is something I will find a good indie shop to do. Hope that helps, I hope it adds some real numbers to the "without history" cost. My negotiated price had accounted for this. |
purchased my 01 S in 2015
24000 miles Seal Grey 3d owner optional wheels litronic lights $10,000 |

Ok - Here we go - Bought my 2001 Boxster S from the 4th owner from Boulder, CO in June/2020. 61,000 miles. My second Boxster(first was a 987) and 3rd Porsche (also owned a 1985 911). Paid $10,500. Came with a brand new already installed glass window top.
Changed the oil and filter immediately. Took to Autowerks East in Lafayette, CO to do the following on June 24th of 2020: PPI, replace tranny fluid, water pump, thermostat and drive belt and replace coolant. Brake and clutch flush, refinish headlights and replace bulbs, replace fuel filter, New spark plugs, air filter, cabin filter. Total cost - $3300 July 6th - AWE again - did the following: LN IMS "Solution" installed. Mine had had the double row bearing in questionable condition. New OEM clutch kit installed, flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts, Clutch pivot pin, Clutch lever(it was shot), new OEM flywheel. Total - $5400. I had already changed the oil and sent to Blackstone. Came back all normal there. Car is a happy camper. Hope to keep for a long time. https://photos.smugmug.com/Cars/2001...0A0018B3-M.jpg |

I've had 4 different 986 S through the recent years. This car was the best of the bunch. I was going to sell it for around 11K and reconsidered when I looked at what else was out there. I didn't make money, but got back some of the parts. My labor was free. The new owner wasn't a sucker, they had a great deal of experience and had been shopping nationwide. They dropped a nonrefundable deposit sight unseen and traveled to inspect it several weeks later. After this, they noted how tight and refreshed the car was, even against others that had far fewer miles. Cosmetically the car was a 6 or 7, but mechanically it was a 10. When you drove it, it was solid, predictable and fast. If you looked at the car on a lift you were impressed. I am really going to miss it. |

TBH I wanna say 2 or three owners.. The meth head I bought it from was the mechanic for the previous owner (or at least the most current owner other than myself). Might be 4 or more; when I was getting power for all the things I needed power for I noticed some oddities in the key wiring. The kind of stuff that would resemble tracking from a used car lot. That would suggest a first owner, then a second from a used car lot, and then the meth head I got the car from. I personally don't put bias on a vehicle based on number of previous owners. I just look at the condition and what I've gotta fix. Then again I have been known to buy stuff from junkyards; so I'm kind of a special breed of stupid. End of the day I knew what I was buying and the price seemed right cause the chassis looked strait enough and rust free. Kinda wished it had a tan interior cause I wanted to paint the car BR green, but hey what ya gonna do. EDIT: car, and every nut and bolt accounted for I'm in less than $12 000. That top was a whopper of $2000 and the adaptor plate/clutch/starter was another big one at $1500. The engine with all the machine work, carb, supercharger and yada yada was just under $1500. Oh and the suspension was VERY costly $2000 for all the little control arms and dampeners and whatnot. I had planed for all of this. Getting the car cheaper would have been nice, but I wanted this DONE. |
