I have owned this 2001 Boxster S since it was new. I special ordered it and took delivery on April 30, 2001, from Rusnak Porsche in Westlake Village. It is a Southern California car and has always been garaged, covered and on a battery tender. It has never been tracked or driven in the rain. The oil is changed once a year (every January 1st) and analyzed by Blackstone labs. The oil filter is also cut open and examined when the oil is changed. It has always been free of debris. The rear wheel bearings were replaced in 2013. In 2015 the water pump was replaced as part of preventive maintenance. At the same time the water pump was replaced a low temperature thermostat was installed, the coolant hoses were replaced, the serpentine belt was replaced and motor mount was replaced. All maintenance is up to date.

There is nothing wrong with this car; mechanically or physically. The wheels been refinished by Wheels America and have no curb rash and they are straight. Clean one owner CarFax. No accident, paint work or body work. I did have the front bumper license plate holes filled, the bumper painted and 3M Paint Protection film installed.

The tires are Michelin Pilot Sport 2 N3s. They are six years old and have 11,000 miles on them. The DOT date on the tires is 3410 (August 2010). They show well and have a lot of tread left.

The engine number of the Boxster is M96 21/ 671 09227. According to a Pelican Technical Article, this engine should have the more desirable double row IMS bearing. I have not changed or upgraded the bearing.

On July 2, 2008, at 16,452 miles, the RMS was upgraded. The invoice states, "R&I Exhaust, R&I Transmission, R&I Clutch and Flywheel, R&R Rear Mail Seal, R&I Tensioners, R&R Intermediate Shaft Flange Seal, Clean Oil Residue From Trans and Engine."

The total bill was $2223.52 and listed the following parts;

1 - 997.101.212.00 Shaft Sealing RI
1 - 996.105.112.01 Rubber Gasket
4 - 999.385.004.01 Torx Screws 3x35
3 - 900.385.275.09 Torx Screw 5x29
8 - 999.073.092.09 Screw 10x50

The original stock S Muffler, Secondary Cats, Mirrored Sun Visors and original taillights are included in the sell.

Why am I selling the Boxster? I bought it in 2001 when I was 47 years old. I am now 62. I want another Porsche sports car to enjoy. In all likelihood, a 1979 to 1989 911. Hell, if I keep the next Porsche as long as I have kept this one I'll be 77 years old. If I had the garage space, I'd keep the Boxster.

More photos are available upon request. Pre-purchase inspections are welcome.

I am located in Northern Los Angeles County.

$19,500.

 

Beautiful car and very aggressive pricing. I will be shocked if this lasts more than a week.

 

Thanks.... but, there are so many Boxsters out there in the $8,000 to $12,000 range that it will take a special buyer to pay a premium for mine. We'll see.

 

Gorgeous Roadster!

 

Beautiful

 

very nice driver to enjoy the coming summer and not forking a lot of cash, glws OP

 

Beauty, If I was a boxster guy this would be up top of the list. . .

 

Thanks Guys. SOLD!!

 

Congrats on the sale!

 

This car is being currently advertised on another site. Just a heads up to the OP, if it is not your ad. PM me if you want the name of the site.

 

No, that's my listing. But, class act for the heads up.

The sale fell though because the buyer was concerned with the IMS Bearing issue these cars have. So, I just kept it an put on another 1,500 miles.

It is once again available.

 

The Boxster is sold. Anyone have a nice 1988 or 1989 911 cab they would like to sell?

 

986 S is really good bang for the buck,
