First introduced in late 1996 as Porsche’s flagship mid-engine roadster, the Boxster has earned recognition among enthusiasts for its agile performance and exciting driving experience. This first-generation 1998 example comes finished in Arena Red Metallic over a Graphite Grey interior and features optional 17” Twist alloy wheels, a HiFi sound system, cruise control, and more. Showing just over 36k miles on the odometer, this 986 Boxster is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Connecticut.
This example comes finished in Arena Red Metallic with a grey convertible soft top and rides on optional 17” Carrera-look Twist wheels dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires from 2020. Other details include integrated side air intakes, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and a central exhaust outlet. The seller notes several minor stone chips on the bumper and hood have been professionally touched up. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin presents Graphite Grey leather upholstered seats with color-coordinated dashboard and door panels. Equipment includes power-adjustable seats, cruise control, automatic climate control, a HiFi sound system, a CD stereo, a wind deflector, and door sills with Boxster insignias. All gauges, electronics, and accessories are confirmed to be in proper working order.
Mounted behind the driver is a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter flat-six engine rated at 201 HP and 181 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a desirable 5-speed manual transmission and stopping power is handled by 4-piston fixed aluminum monobloc brake calipers on all four corners. The seller notes a new battery was fitted in May 2024 and confirms there are no outstanding maintenance items.
This sale will include a clean title, two keys, and owner’s manuals.
The seller would like you to know: “Available for auction is this 1998 Arena Red Porsche Boxster. Complete records are available from 2001. The car has a clean Carfax report and a clean Connecticut title.”
