Are you asking the red one or one of the other Carvana cars?
Help us out - what do you care about:

Performance
Luxury
Stick or manual
Mileage
History
Colors
Mods
etc.

For $50,000 you can probably find a higher mileage S if performance is your thing.

It was that red one or a link to a local dealer that has a 2015 S with 42k on it for about the same price. I think i am going with the S. The link did not work for that one for some reason. I love manuals and always thought that is all i would want in a sports car. But being older and having a bad left knee has changed that. I had to trade in my brand new Gladiator that i had for 2 weeks because of my damn knee 🤦🏻‍♂️ but i am thinking the s with more miles and 2 years CPO warranty is the better deal

I feel like the S is the one at around the ~$48-55k price point. CPO would be nice security also.

Not to knock the base in any way but I'd be looking at those in the $35-45k range.

Will this be a daily for you?

No interest but was shopping recently and see a good value here.

My new-to-me 2014 Cayman S 6MT will arrive Friday or Saturday, stoked to receive it!
Hoping a rennlister picked this one up, please share if you did!

Congrats! I took delivery of my S as well and absolutely love it! So dialed from the factory, it's good to be back in a Porsche.

I'm currently negotiating with the owner. I'm open to suggestions on price. It's a 2015 with 30k miles, 3 owners, modest options include: sport suspension, 20" wheels, and leather interior. No sport exhaust or sport steering wheel, no heated/vented seats, not much else. Some scratches on front splitter, hood, and modest stuff here and there, but overall, looks very good. Clean CarFax but limited maintenance records. it's a manual and it's Sapphire Blue.

Thoughts on price?

You had me at "for sale," but sadly, lost me at PDK. Sounds like a great car, amazing color. GLWS.

Would’ve been perfect location for me as well. Tough finding ones that aren’t over a 10 hour drive away or more.

I don't have a lot of data on cars that sold on Rennlist, but in looking at Autotrader and other public listings, I think an asking price of $80k is reasonable for this condition and mileage. I'm open to hearing thoughts and opinions from others.

Meanwhile, AdamIsAdam is AdamIsStillLookingForABoxsterS981Manual !!!! C'mon people, I need some good leads. Someone must know someone with a nice, original paint, modest mileage MANUAL Boxster S that is sitting in the garage ready for a new owner. Maybe the owner came across that 1977 Trans Am they just have to have to remind them of their Bandit days. Or maybe someone has a new family member in a baby seat that's necessitating a move to a Macan and the Boxster must go.

Oh yea, that Sport Suspension, Sport Exhaust 981 is just itching to go to a new home. It's only been driven lightly yet has been well cared for over the years and now it's ready to spend time with a new owner.

Remember my finders fee offer: unlimited rides!

TIA,
Adam

​​​​​

80k seems steep to me. When I was shopping last year I was looking at a 2016 CPO car with 12k miles and the same options you have but had the full leather interior and they wanted 78k+ TTL.

I ended up buying a different CPO car with 28k miles for 69k + TTL in June 2023. My car is Guards Red and it seems like the only difference is I don't have PTV and my wheels are Sport Technos.

Have you had the spark plugs and drive belt changed recently?
