Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking to purchase another Boxster and really want a manual Gen II, 987 3.4 S manual. I understand some people regard this as the ultimate Boxster. However, I very rarely see these on the market. What should I expect to pay for an example with sub 60k mileage?

Budget £30k, though you may find a spec you like at the minimum range at £25K which is where the 60k milers are at.

Budget £30k, though you may find a spec you like at the minimum range at £25K which is where the 60k milers are at. 9 come up but tbf only 6 are actually .2’s. Spread of prices between £25-33k. Sure you could find a decent one at £25-28k OP. And yes 987.2 manual S pretty much the pick of the range (apart from the more expensive Spyder).

Oh I see. Well I guess 6 isn’t too bad as a selection, there are some very nice Gen 2 versions available currently. Yep it’s circa £25k to £30K. I haven’t been following them to know if they are on the rise and highly sought after but if your budget is around that mark you’ll find a nice one. Good luck with the hunt and purchase.

…and to answer the question, I think the ultimate version is the 70th Anniversary Porsche Classic Special Edition https://www.boxa.net/topic/79738-boxster-s-70th-an... https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/2001-porsche-9...

POST 6Original post

The ultimate 987 has to be a manual Spyder. Without doubt.
