2000 Boxster S Value?
 

I've owned this car for about 8 years now and I've decided its time for it to go. The car has 92K miles on it and overall is in good shape. There are only 2 problems currently with the car and that is the 2nd gear synchro is gone and I haven't been able to wire up the power to the newly converted comfort seat I installed on the drivers side (passenger sides working fine). I'm trying to decide if it's worth trying to fix before I sell it. If anybody has suggestions on what the car is worth as is and what it's worth with 6 working gears, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I,m going to guess about $7500. I expect you can find a good used 6 speed for about $1000-1500.but then install usually leads to a new clutch etc etc so probably better to sell it as is .I,m guessing a no excuses 2000S with similar miles will be approaching 10K +/- depending on location and options color etc.

Yeah, sounds right. Now that we're talking about 15+ yr old cars, cosmetics, color, miles, and frankly, opportunity to sell is going to play a big part in the price rather than just some KBB or Edmunds number...

If you get it fixed, $9k-$11k depending on where you are selling it...

Indeed, I agree with Johnsjmc. It is a nice car but the transmission is a killer to try and rebuild, definitely cheaper to get a used unit. Then the "while you're in theres" start and clutch, IMS etc. all start to run through the head.

Looks like a sweet car for an LS swap though :D Wish I could afford it but right now all of my eggs are in other baskets unless you want to trade for some Porsche 993 convertible parts!

After a quick look at sold listings on Ebay, the honest number on your car is probably about $6,000. It does look pretty nice so may bring more depending on how bad 2nd gear is etc. The new owner can expect to spend about $4-5K on this out of the gate to take care of everything properly.

Good luck!

Yeah, I'd put you at $6-7K as is, even though your car looks nice.

I'm in NW Florida and there is currently a 2001 S Tip with just under 100K miles...asking $8500.
My 2000S with 125K miles received no real interest last October at $8,500.

As a comparison I paid $9300 from a dealer in Jacksonville for a 2001S with 67,000 mi ,3 owners and a carfax report of a small drivers door hit. The car had a clutch at 60k and the car is loaded with litronics and m030, new tires and brakes. Oil leak from plug tubes and some cracked underpans was all a PPI found.

Those wheels.
