Porsche Boxster · 1996–present · Buying guide

Porsche Boxster.
The mid-engined roadster.

The Boxster is Porsche's two-seat mid-engined roadster, built since 1996. Successive generations carry the codes 986, 987, 981 and 982, and placing the engine ahead of the rear axle gives balanced weight distribution and precise handling. Engines are naturally aspirated or turbocharged flat units, with rear-wheel drive and a manual or PDK dual-clutch gearbox. The folding roof makes it a classic car for driving pleasure. The exact powertrain and output depend on the version and model year.

FAQ

Boxster — FAQ

Which Boxster generation should I pick?

The early 986 and 987 generations are the cheapest entry, but need careful checks on engine condition. The 981 offers a better interior and handling, while the 982 is the newest design with turbocharged engines. We match the year and variant to your budget and expectations.

Is a Boxster from Japan a good choice?

Yes. Japanese cars often have low mileage and are kept in very good condition. The auction sheet carries a detailed grade for body, interior and roof, which we verify before bidding. This lets you pick a car with a predictable condition.

How does the Boxster differ from the Cayman?

The Boxster is an open-top roadster, while the Cayman is the fixed-roof coupe version. Both share the same mid-engined, rear-drive platform. The Cayman has a stiffer body, while the Boxster offers open-top driving pleasure. The choice depends on your body-style preference.
