Boxster Prices
 

They have a '964 Prices' thread on rennlist.com, and I thought it be useful to have a similiar thread here to keep track of the current prices. If you look at Craigslist the prices of the 986's are all over the place. A lot of buyers post about what their car is worth, and a lot of sellers are curious as to what it will cost to get into one. I know I was when i was in the market.

I got an exceptional deal when I bought in Febuary. Probably $1k below the actual value. Here are my details:

Purchase price (in US$) $7,500
Purchase date 2/1/2016
Mileage - 100k
State/Country where purchase - Maryland
Model year - 2001
S model
Color - Blue/Blue

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) 3
Your assessment of the interior quality (1-10, 10 being highest) 8
Your assessment of the exterior quality (1-10, 10 being highest) 8
Your assessment of the mechanical condition of the vehicle (1-10, 10 being highest) 8

At this point its all about condition, service records/proper maintainance and mileage. Each has a big impact on what the market will pay for these cars. In your case even with 100k and lack of history for an S that was a pretty good price.

I bought my 03 base in 09 for 15k with 46k miles on the clock at this point I am at half that in service and rubber but that's the price we sign up for.

Purchased in March 2015
2000 Boxster S

Beautiful car, one flaw was crack in top plastic window.

Since then:
Front bilstein sport struts
LN ims replacement
Clutch, pressure plate, flywheel
Drop links sway bar bushings
Water pump

All suspension was chasing a noise. Was a drop link. Everything else preventative.
Clutch might have needed replacement. Was told at ims replacement by garage.

Here is one (of several) sites where you can get pricing trends (by model year) over whatever time period you like. Of course, it doesn't include details like aftermarket parts but it is statistically accurate.

1000 bucks not a typo
 

If I can figure out how to post pictures I will tomorrow, it's not clean but it runs very well. The top is separating at the window and the seats are trashed and the rims are flaking paint and it has a dent by the right side vent. The only major issue I have mechanically is the a/c does not blow cold at idle but I did pay 1000 bucks for it and running Jetta from a guy who is leaving the island.

You know I find it interesting that those charts have 98s selling for less than 97s. However I find that also interesting because I remember when looking to buy a second BOX most of the worst cared for cars were 98s, maybe it had something to do with it being second year of production and owners at the bottom of the waiting list got them or something.

In 2014 that was an average price. The windshield was (still is) broken on the passenger side.

Now it has 112K miles, and even with all the new parts and work done, I don't think it's worth more than 8000$

The car was a 1 owner car and was from the area I live in but was bought at auction by an out of state dealer that I bought it from. I do have the original paperwork from the dealer the car was sold new at and the window sticker. The car sold for around $46K new and was delivered in June 1998 and was ordered by the buyer in Feb. 1998. I bought it sight unseen except for photos, there was some paint work done and it still has a lot of parking lot dings and some minor dents. It runs and drives very nice though. I replaced the top so far, front brake pads and sensors, floor mats, and had the immobilzer box repaired. I haven't driven the car very much so I guess time will tell as far as any repairs it will need. I think I got a fair deal on it, I was disappointed with all the little dings though even though the dealer did mention it, he seemed like an honest person.

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.

I'm not sure how to judge the mechanical condition. It needed a headlight, 4 tires and a clutch, but I knew that going in.

The plan going in was to drive it for 3 years and sell it and buy something responsible. I'm not ready to buy something responsible yet.

I’m probably the ‘winner’ here as far as most paid.. Oh well. It was very well cared for; the first owner put maybe 3k miles on it. The second owner only had it for 18 months and put a lot of money into during that time.

Options: full leather, IMSB fix, PSM, heated seats, litronics, Bose speakers (Stereo then upgraded by previous owner), wind deflector, extra rear fog light.
