2007 Boxster S, 3.4l, 70k+ miles (still driving, so will go up a little). I believe I'm the 3rd owner, has traded hands via the local Porsche dealers and according to them all major service work has been done by them (last major was 60km service, otherwise just normal oil changes, brake fluid flushes, etc...). I purchased it in 2016 with 51k miles and used it in the summer only, stored indoors for the winter. I believe the previous owners did the same (in theory has never seen the snow nor a track). I was looking for a 987.2, but came across this one is such good shape I jumped on it, and have been glad I did. I have a BGTS 4.0 appearing mid June, and it is time to move this one along for someone else to enjoy. If I had more storage room I'd keep it - I find the road feel better (hydraulic steering) in the 987 than the newer models. Given how fanatical most of us are about taking care of our cars I "only" rate this as "Very Good". It has been driven and enjoyed - if you look closely you'll find small stone chips in the hood, there is a chip around the top cover (see image; it isn't noticeable for the most part as it is small but I would rather have someone look at the vehicle in person and be pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed), and a scratch on the rear wheel well (if you know where to look for it -I tried to get a good picture and couldn't. Located in upstate NY (Lake George / Saratoga Springs area).

In answer to a few questions: I have both keys, clear title, no lien. Also a quick video of cold start up and a. quick walk around showcasing worst chips and such:
My new BGTS may be here sooner than scheduled (I can hope!) but is still a few weeks off. I'll be listing elsewhere shortly but wanted to give fellow members here a shot at it first.
It has been a long wait to get an allocation and build but thankfully I’ve had the 987 to drive. Thank you for the kind words on price… I dislike haggling with folks so aimed for a fair price…Then dropped it a bit to the lower end of the range I’ve seen as I’d prefer it go to an enthusiast to appreciate and enjoy.
Honestly I think the Cayman is a better looking car between the two (and the Spyder looks best of all , but having the choice to cruise around top up or top down is really nice, especially on crisp mornings or evenings, or along the ocean where you can catch different scents. A hardtop just can't compete with that.
Okay yes, the Cayman looks the best. But I can't see that the car profile when I'm driving around with the top down feeling the fresh air washing over me like I'm about to do right now.
P.S. The Spyder looks impractical and over priced to me. I love the electric top.
I think the new Spyder is one of the best looking Porsches ever… but ordered a GTS as between my driving preferences and the electric top the Spyder makes no sense for me, so in the end we’re in agreement!

I think Boxster GTS owners are sport car drivers. I would love to order one in Orange but everytime I go through the build website it comes out at 100k with tax
Tentatively sold pending payment and picking (through Craigslist for the curious... and pretty sure it is a used car dealer buying it!). I'll update when sold, or if they ghost me.
Sold via Craigslist 6/7/22 to a used car dealer on Long Island... so if you just ran across this you've got another shot at it potentially.
I enjoyed corresponding with all the Rennlisters that responded - I suspect if you lived closer you would have wound up with it as the folks who picked it up brought a check and cash in case they wanted to talk me down upon inspecting and didn't even try (they were very pleased with the condition). I did come down a little from the price listed in the ad as you'd expect (no one likes to pay asking price!), but still 5k over the trade in and 6k over Carvana. Double what "Cargurus" offered (!).
