The Appeal
Registered in 2000 by an Independent Dealer this S model was bought by its first private owner Mr H with delivery mileage 2 weeks after it was registered. He kept the car until 2010 when he sold it to Mr J, his Father-in-law who had always admired the Porsche.
Now having owned and enjoyed it for 13 years he has decided to sell as he is struggling to get in and out with the roof up, and subsequently he hasn’t been able to enjoy it as much as he would have liked in the past couple of years.
Originally ordered as 3.2 litre S model, with the six speed manual gearbox it was the top of the range model at the time. With exclusive Boxster Red leather interior and Arctic Silver Metallic paint it remains a low mileage, low owner example of the original 986 model Boxster.
With its proper mid- engine layout it was recognised as the best handling Porsche at the time, and with 258hp the S model is acknowledged as the most entertaining and exciting Boxster to drive.

The Interior
- Boxster Red leather interior
- Good leather with minimal wear
The interior of the Boxster is exactly what you would expect in a car that has covered less than 42,000 miles, just a little dusty. The wear on the seats and carpets is minimal, especially the passenger seat which appears barely been used.
There are a couple of scratches on the backrest side bolster of the driver’s seat which should be an easy fix. Looking around the dash area everything appears to be functioning correctly, but again it would benefit from some cleaning.

It appears the radio controls have suffered badly from “sticky button syndrome”, so new volume and tuning knobs would be a sensible investment!
The carpets show minimal wear and are undamaged, protected by Porsche mats. Overall we think after a good valet the interior would look so much better as the Boxster has obviously spent some time parked in a garage gaining a few cobwebs.
The Exterior
- Arctic Silver Metallic paint
- Hood fits well and stows correctly
The Silver exterior is in pretty good condition, with minor marks here and there. Most would clean off with some polish and effort, but there are a couple of issues to note. There is a scrape low down on the driver’s side bumper front corner, and another around the rear edge of the wheel arch on the passenger side rear. The other marks are what you’d expect on a 22 year old car and don’t detract from the appearance.
We opened and closed the hood and it fits well with a clear and undamaged rear window, and seals to the side glass nicely when up. It folds well and stows neatly behind the seat.
The wheels are 17 inch five spoke Porsche 986 alloys, with the performance discs with red callipers that indicate an S model. All the wheels are free of major curb damage but have suffered somewhat through age with some minor blistering on all four wheels. All the tyres are in excellent condition; a smart matching set of Continental Sport Contact 2 with only light wear.
As with the interior the Silver paint could be greatly improved with a little effort. An afternoon spent in the company of a bottle of quality polish and a couple of cloths would yield satisfying results!
The Mechanics
- Owned for the past 12 years and used occasionally
- Driven just two miles since MoT
Having been driven just two miles since it passed its MoT test with no advisories in April this year we are happy to report the Boxster appears to be in good health. It started easily when we visited, and moved around during the photos with no odd noises and a steady burble from the exhaust.
The seller has enjoyed his time with the Boxster and will be sorry to see it go. He says it is a pleasure to drive, handling well and with plenty of power.

Summary
When shopping for a sports car it’s always sensible to go for the top of the range model, the most desirable one with the biggest engine, a driver’s gearbox, and a lovely colour combination. This is what we have on offer here. Barely used in the past few years and with very low mileage, it appears to be in good condition and would be easily improved with a good valet and a little titillation. In Porsche Boxster circles the 3.2 S model is definitely the one to have and here is one that has barely been used!

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
