You may be better off purchasing from a non-Porsche dealer. They jack up prices to unrealistic levels; especially without CPO.
The Boxster is a very different animal from the GTI and even the CAYMAN for that matter. With the top down on twisty roads the experience is pure open sports car. Throttle the flat six and your endorphins will start pumping.
Just for reference, I purchased a 2013 Boxster Base off a non-Porsche dealer lot in fantastic shape, but with high miles (60k) for $29k; a bargain price! I purchased a 3rd party warranty.
Coincidentally I’m trying to do the same haha; I recently test drove a clean 2014 Boxster which was around $31,000 with 51k miles at a used dealership. PDK, and it drives fantastic. I’m swaying a little bit between PDK and manual now, and there are a lot more PDK’s so I would have more options. Will see if I can get the Porsche dealer to lower their price.
Hello - first post. Just registered but have been reading for a couple months now. Currently own a Mk7 GTI but want a more fun and involved daily driver.
2014 Boxster
Location: Walnut Creek, CA
Price: $36,988
Mileage: 28,914
Colors: Black on Black
Options: Pretty light. Main highlights are convenience/Bi-Xenon w PDLS/Infotainment w Bose.
Budget is $40k with expected trade-in so this would fit right in but I would love some advice on the following things:
1) How low can I realistically negotiate since the price seems...optimistic? I ran KBB and Edmunds TMV and the market price is around $32k, but Edmunds TMV with retail says $35-$36k. 6spd Boxsters are also rare in the Bay from what I can see.
2) Should I expect any issues with trading in a VW GTI to a Porsche dealership? Fully paid off, I do 14k miles/yr and no accident history. Also considering Carmax.
3) Anyone in the Bay familiar with this dealer?
4) If I wait a year, budget will go up to $50k-$55k. Is it worth waiting? Extra power of the S isn’t a must-have (test-drove a base and loved it) and the other options I’d like (SportDesign wheel/Sports Exhaust) can be added later.
I’m in LA atm; will go see the car later next week. Would appreciate any advice!
Edmunds doesn't seem to show 35-36 for me unless I'm looking at CPO. This car isn't CPO'ed. So looks like Edmunds is saying more like 33 for it. There's a silver '14 manual in Carlsbad. Isn't that nearer to where you are right now?

Yeah, looking at it on Saturday. I saw the one in Carlsbad on Autotrader but I live in Oakland, so am checking out Bay Area cars first.

I'd love to know how you made out. I wouldn't hesitate to get the PDK, it's a hoot. The dual clutch is really a manual experience with an automatic. Not one of those standard manual shifting type of automatics; it "ALMOST" feels like a manual. It's a great friend off the line.
The one I originally posted was sold two days before I got there. But...I am now the official owner of a beautiful white PDK 981 Boxster!!
I am so so happy...my first Porsche!! Thanks all for your help

Nice! Where did you get it? I haven't been paying close attention to the PDK offerings, having decided I wanted a manual.

Got it from a private seller. He was moving out of state and needed to sell fast. Original MSRP was $71k, 40k miles, I paid $34k for it. Manuals are few and far between in the Bay Area
Great. This is a perfect 'first weekend' for the car, and I love the blue interior. Black has been done for too long. Does it have the sport-chrono package?

it doesn’t have Sport Chrono or PSE, but aside from those two it’s specced exactly how I want it. I will probably add PSE later but I don’t think I’ll need Sport Chrono
