Opinion on 01 Boxster S price

[Stl-986]

Opinion..? Way over priced. 126k miles. Right now is a great time to sell cars but not buying them. The average right now is 30% more then normal.

It was a dealer trade in and sold at auction.

With the limited info it is impossible to say what it's worth. If it is painted gray now, it's been repainted as that vin came as Forest Green with tan interior. It's a base S edition, which is just a bigger engine then the base 986.

Realistically in NICE condition as you mention, maybe $8k, $9k tops. Expect many things will end up needing to be replaced within 12 months. If the top has any issues that alone is $2k for a shop to replace. Factor in tires depending on age & condition, another $800 plus alignment. List goes on.

Vin analytics has it as an S model seal gray over black: https://vinanalytics.com/car/WP0CB29811U663454/

This car is almost identical to mine, except I have the sport seats and that one has the litronic headlights.

The thing that caught my eye is that it does not look like it has been driven in 2 years possibly.. (check the mileage at the end of your report from 2019 till now). That would worry me. I also agree with the lack of history being the biggest consideration.

As for the price, they are way higher now then when I bought 2 years ago., Can't predict the future, no idea if it is the start or the end of the prices going up.

The history is worth its weight in gold (ask me how I know). Regardless of mileage these cars incur expensive repairs. Good luck.

There are several upgrades from base to S.
