The Appeal
The original 986 Boxster shares its DNA with the 996 911 but is a wholly different driving experience. The later, larger-engined cars like this one got the power to match the car’s excellent mid-engined dynamics. These cars increasingly appealing to enthusiasts because they are modern classics that can be confidently used regularly.
This dark blue metallic 986 2.7L is well-kept and well-specified. There is grey leather, Turbo Twist five spoke alloys, a smart blue roof and even climate control. The car also features the versatile Tiptronic semi-automatic sequential 5-speed gearbox.
A clean Carfax report shows 28 entries, which the vendor says amounts to full service history and a damage-free past. The car was serviced 1,800 miles ago, including general checks and a safety inspection. It comes to Europe with USA title and Dutch importation documents.
