Pads look new, rotors look ok
Tubi exhaust installed by previous owner (I believe non-"loud" version)

Related to the thread topic, I found a higher-mileage but well-specced Boxster S (only really missing PSE). Price is a bit high for the miles but it's rare to find a 981 with PTV, PASM, and Sport Chrono.

To add on to what others have said about the torque gain with the 3.4L, imo PDK vs. manual also makes a big difference on engine preference. PDK works with both engines but it really comes alive with a bigger/stronger engine; if he's getting PDK I would get the S. I test drove multiple base 981s before I bought my S, and to me the 2.7L's relative lack of torque made the PDK's shifts less thrilling. The other issue is that most base 981s are stripper cars so they lack niceties like Sport Chrono, Sports Exhaust, Bose, etc. S cars are generally better-optioned so there's a higher chance he'll find an S with the options he wants.

Yeah, that's an interesting car. 4/12 manufacturing date suggests it was one of the very first to roll off the line. Age and mileage are high, top looks like hell, but the interior seems to be in excellent shape, noting that they don't show the door panels. (Edit: the driver's side does show some lift in one of the photos...)
Seems underpriced to me. A thorough PPI would be called for, but if it doesn't uncover any issues, that car looks like a great bargain. Must be more to the story. ("Fleet use"?)

How does this price look? I test drove the car and it looks to be in great condition at a reputable dealership.

A couple others just for fun:
https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...icle/723210470
2013 Boxster Manual, $30.9k, 52.9k miles. Has an aftermarket head unit and a backup camera. Decent price for a manual.
https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-...icle/723048716
2013 Boxster PDK, $32k, 65.3k miles. Nothing going for it aside from the color (mahogany is very rare), though having the wheels also painted mahogany is a bit much.

@john981 Thanks for the reply on that 981. Unfortunately the car sold before I could get to it.
I found this 718 which looks very good with tons of options. How does it look? The carvana 7 day return seems legit from what I've read online.
