2000 Boxster S in Hillsboro, OR

SOLD on 6/1/21

This Ocean Blue Metallic / Savanna Beige 2000 Boxster S is a blast to drive! I bought it a few years ago from a couple in southern California, and it's been my daily driver since then. It now has about 129,800 miles. I unfortunately need to sell it because I've developed a medical issue that prevents me from being able to drive a manual transmission comfortably. It's in good shape overall, but is showing its age in a few ways that I'll note below.

Asking $8500 (SOLD)
(more pictures below)



Notable Features:
  • 6-speed manual transmission
  • Electronic limited-slip differential (uses brake activation to perform limited slip function)
  • Power windows, door locks, seats
  • Heated seats
  • Air Conditioning
  • 6-disc CD changer audio system
  • Built-in nav

Highlights:
  • Runs and drives perfectly
  • The convertible top works perfectly and the A/C blows cold
  • The car is stock (to my knowledge) except I removed the secondary catalytic converters and installed bypass pipes for a nicer exhaust tone. I have the old cats if you want them.

Lowlights:
  • The airbag light is on and the cruise control stopped working a few months ago. I'm not aware of any cause and have not troubleshot these items other than checking a fuse.
  • The LCD display next to the digital MPH indicator has some pixels that have stopped working correctly, so small squiggly lines appear (see picture).
  • The leather on the seats is worn out in a few places (see pictures).
  • The center console "lid" hinges are broken, but it stays in place while driving fine.
  • The check-engine light comes on occasionally. Last time I checked, this was due to an EVAP emissions system issue. I haven't troubleshot it recently since it isn't affecting performance, safety, or reliability.
  • The clear-coat on the rear bumper cover is peeling.

Recent maintenance in the last few years includes:
  • New Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires (rears will need replacement soon though)
  • New passenger-side convertible top gearbox
  • New OEM front brake pads
  • Multiple Mobile-1 oil changes
  • New motor mount

I'm not aware of the IMS bearing ever having been replaced. If you're interested in buying this Boxster S, please reach out.
