I don't know about pricing but 1 pic and a minimal description doesn't get you very far these days.

I paid $6K for a '97 in silver with a hard top and very good condition out of Vegas. It did have 97K miles, so yours has significantly fewer.

When you have your new info ready, it would be best to just start a new thread *without* posting the price in the title. Once you post it in the opening title, it is stuck there.

Take a look through some of the other ads here and see which ones seem successful, use their layout. Good pics that show condition of paint and interior - looks like your headlights are in great shape for a 97. Highlight the best features Hard top, any high end options. Be careful about posting TMI. I always put too much info in mine. can't help it.

This is a tough time of year to be selling a roadster in the Northeast. The market will pick up in a couple months.

Great feedback!! Thank you both! ..sale might be pending, but if not will do just that. I just sold a 964, and did that with tons of photos and videos. I figured winter would be slow, but at least wanted to post something quickly since the low mileage would make the car of interest to many. Figured I would send more pics to inquiries.

Closing in on 100k it's been a perfect car, not planning on getting rid of it anytime soon.

glad to see you got ahold of another boxster!

3 years and only 10k miles not too bad! Glad you have enjoyed the car and she's been trouble free- I would think its about time for a full service tune up but that's about it I would think.
Yes I'm glad to have a boxster again- after I sold that cat to you I got an Audi TT about 6 months later, but sold that last summer to get a 4 door with moor room for our daughter. I've been looking ever since- I just passed on a very nice 2002 S with only 28k miles at the local bmw dealer and was kicking myself for not getting it when I saw this one - it has a few bunts and blemishes but only 34k miles and a double row ims that are much less likely to fail, and to top it off a hard too too- do you use yours much? Any mods or updates? I might go sport exhaust and a flash to the ecu but that might be it- maybe some S caliper later too but for now it's just fine as it is

No real mods other than a clemson sticker to the back window and it has a "distanced" stable mate. My gf picked up a 2000 base 59k miles arena red.

Oh, the car does have some new rubber on! Michelin pilot super sports all around, she's probably never taken a corner so well before.





While in college the car is often covered in the parking lot, but gets driven Wednesday nights (to take me to the universities formula SAE shop) and then dates on the weekend of course. The family has a extra van that I drive in most bad weather days or a to b drives leaving the boxster only for the fun runs.
