What makes it unique

 
With its naturally aspirated 3.2-litre flat-six engine producing 252 hp, the Porsche Boxster S (986) offers far more than just an entry point into the Porsche universe. Thanks to its mid-engine architecture, it benefits from remarkable balance and driving dynamics that still set the standard today. In its S version, it gains in performance and driving pleasure, making it one of the most appreciated variants of the first-generation Boxster.
 
This example, presented in an elegant black configuration with grey interior, is reported to have had only one previous owner according to the information provided. It comes with a particularly comprehensive service history, including work carried out at both the Porsche Centre and recognized specialists.
 
One of the main points of concern on 986 Boxsters is the IMS bearing. On this car, it was replaced in August 2024 at 87,071 km by specialist LJ Motorsport, with invoice provided. At that time, numerous preventive and maintenance works were also carried out.
 
A complete Porsche PIWIS diagnostic as well as an analysis of the Bosch Motronic 7.2 engine control unit confirmed the absence of anomalies, odometer manipulation, or harmful over-revving. The recorded data testifies to regular and consistent use throughout the vehicle's life.
 
With an MOT valid until June 2028 and a particularly reassuring mechanical history, this Boxster S Tiptronic appears to be a carefully maintained example ready for immediate use.
