1999 Porsche Boxster 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced for the 1997 model year as Porsche's answer to a growing need for a high-volume, entry-level model, the Boxster arrived with a mid-mounted water-cooled 2.5-liter flat-six and a chassis balance that drew comparisons to the legendary 550 Spyder. The mid-engine layout delivered handling precision and road-holding capability that set it apart from every front-engined rival in its class and established the Boxster as a genuine driver's car rather than simply a gateway to the 911.

This 1999 Boxster is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic paired with a black convertible top and interior. Factory-optioned with 17” Boxster Design wheels and a limited-slip differential, this 5-speed manual example is presented by the seller in unmodified form. Standard 986 equipment includes a speed-activated rear spoiler, side air intakes, power windows, locks, and mirrors, automatic climate control, and leather upholstery.

First sold by The Collection of Coral Gables, Florida, this Boxster remained registered in the Southern U.S. until it was acquired by its current owner in Michigan in 2023. Under current ownership, the tires have been replaced.

This 1999 Porsche Boxster is now offered at no reserve by the seller on behalf of its current owner with a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report and clean Michigan title.
