2000 Porsche Boxster 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 2000 Porsche Boxster represents the continued refinement of the first‑generation 986, Porsche’s mid‑engine roadster that debuted in 1997 and helped revitalize the brand. By 2000, the Boxster had evolved with a larger 2.7L flat‑six engine producing 217 hp and 192 lb‑ft. of torque, giving it stronger performance than the earlier model while maintaining its balanced, lightweight character. The mid‑engine layout, paired with rear‑wheel drive and a 5‑speed manual transmission, delivered the agile handling that quickly made the Boxster a benchmark in the roadster segment.

The 2000 model continued to offer key Porsche engineering features such as ABS with 4‑piston alloy calipers, an automatic rear spoiler, and a power‑operated soft top, reinforcing its blend of usability and performance. This model year also introduced several new paint options, including Cobalt Blue Metallic as seen here, one of six blue shades offered in 2000.

Acquired by the seller in 2019, this Boxster features the desirable factory 5-speed manual transmission, along with a blue replacement convertible soft top, 18-inch wheels sourced from a 987-generation Boxster, blue and gray two-tone leather seats, a Bluetooth capable Alpine stereo, and other upgrades. The seller reports regular service and adding approximately 3,000 miles during their ownership.

This 2000 Porsche Boxster is now offered at no reserve with a CARFAX history report, some service records, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.
