Description
2011 (2012MY) Boxster 2.9 - 6-speed manual, Arctic Silver, sitting on 53,420 miles. 2nd generation of the 987 so no bore scoring issues.
It was recorded as a Cat N in 2020 after the comon roof drain issue - water got in and cooked the rear body control module. No structural damage, just an annoying bit of electronics. All sorted since, and it's been spot-on.

It's an honest, sorted car that's had money spent in the right places. Doesn't pretend to be a garage queen, but it's clean, drives really well, and has been properly looked after. Ideal as a driver's car or a project base for someone wanting to go further.
