Description

Stuttgart-built 986 Boxster, 2.5 engine with 5-speed manual gearbox, ~90,560 miles (3500 per year) and full service history throughout its 26 years, in Zenith blue metallic, with wingback sport seats and extended leather. I owned this Porsche for two years and invested approx. 3k in preventative maintenance, with a view to keep it. Forced to sell and hoping it finds a passionate owner to cherish it. The bad bits: - AC does not work, identified as condensers, - Central locking works, but not remotely, - Front wheel arches have rusty edges from stone chips, see pictures. The good things: - Drives exceptionally well, with a comprehensive folder and service history going back to new, cherished until 2014 when taken off the road for 7 years, hence the low mileage and wonderful condition, with little use afterwards, and well loved over the last two years under my ownership. Porsche forum member and enthusiast, I used it mostly for car meets and holidays in Europe, - The engine sounds superb and the cable throttle offers instant response, the dual row IMS is trouble-free and the RMS has been last replaced in 2013, bone dry underneath, - Loves Millers 5w-40 CFS NT+, has had three oil changes over the last 6k miles and does not burn oil, - Cam deviation in spec at 3 degrees, - Roof and rear screen in great condition with no leaks, - Always garaged and now covered, - Undersealed in 2012, and still looks great underneath, - Minimal stone chips and no dings, - GT3 console delete, and the cubby is available, - Bluetooth retrofitted to OEM stereo, - CarVertical report available and all clear. Dec '24, at Torque Boxsters: - Gearbox oil changed, - New front suspension arms and tie rods (inner and outer), Spyder Performance parts, - New 4x ARB bushes, - New 4x drop-links, - Hunter 4x alignment done at Protyre Chesham, May '24, at AMS Porsche: - 1x New OEM Bilstein shock, top mount and bump stop, to match the other three, which look like new, - New exhaust clamps, brackets, gasket and fixings, - New coil packs, spark plugs and tubes. Serviced: '99: 7,602 '00: 18,401 '01: 26,751 '02: 38,800 '03: 41,817 '04: 51,692 '06: 57,780 '07: 59,861 '09: 64,645 '11: 66,854 '12: 70,310 '13: 73,758 '14: 76,295 '21: 79,867 '23: 84k, double oil change '24: 89k I will renew the MOT in May, when it expires - no advisories recently. Thanks!
