Enjoy all the goodness, simplicity, and purity of a mid-engined Porsche roadster in this rare, lightly optioned 2005 Boxster (987), unfiltered or weighed down by the tech options that most of these cars were saddled with (and that are prone to break or require more expensive maintenance down the road).

Options: Bose Premium Sound System, Cayman 18" wheels, Porsche short-shifter, Porsche Tequipment exhaust finishers, heated leather seats. Also features a professionally installed Kenwood-Garmin navigation system with SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth phone and music streaming, iPod/iPhone connectivity, and CD player. Upgraded front bumper cover to S version (OEM Porsche parts) to allow for installation of center radiator (not installed).

Only 58,000 carefully driven miles. Always garaged, no dents or dings, never tracked or raced, meticulously maintained (oil changes every 5k miles), never wrecked. Continental tires have approximately 70% tread remaining. No curb rash on the wheels, just a few small nicks on one wheel. Seats in great shape with no wear on driver's bolster.

Imperfections: The finish on the A/C fan speed switch is a little worn (common issue for 987s), there is a star in the windshield at bottom of passenger side (fixed), a few small chips in the paint on the driver door (touched up), and the top has a two small chafe spots (cosmetic only, also common on Boxsters).

Service in the last 8 months: New clutch (Sachs), throw-out bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate, resurfaced flywheel, new water pump (Porsche) and low-temp thermostat, flushed and replaced coolant, replaced rear main seal (RMS) with upgraded design (preventative; wasn't leaking), new gearbox oil (Porsche), new spark plugs, replaced engine drive belt, oil change (Motul 5W40), new engine air filter and cabin air filter, A/C recharge, flushed and replaced brake fluid. Needs nothing.

This late-build 987 Boxster (April 2005) was built at Porsche's home factory in Stuttgart, Germany (not Finland, where many Boxsters are manufactured under contract). It was built after the factory transitioned from the problem-prone M96 IMS bearing design found in the 986 cars to a new, more robust M97 engine IMS bearing. This Boxster has the later, improved M97 IMS bearing.

Hate to part with this beautiful machine, but I need to thin my automotive herd.
