Representing Porsche’s original mid-engine Boxster sports car, this 1999 example comes finished in Black over a black leather interior and features a 5-speed manual transmission. This roadster features “986” badging on the door sills and rear decklid along with factory 5-spoke alloy “twist” wheels. Showing approximately 96k miles on the odometer, this 986 is now being offered for auction by its owner out of California.
This Boxster is finished in Black with a black convertible top along with factory 5-spoke alloy “twist” wheels which are accented by colored Porsche crested center caps and red brake calipers. A pop-up spoiler and “986” badging adorn the rear decklid of this first-generation Boxster. Some cosmetic imperfections are depicted in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report, and the seller states the Bridgestone Potenza tires are dated 2015.
The cabin is appointed with black leather upholstery and features an aftermarket stereo with Bluetooth audio. The passenger-side window regulator was recently replaced and the seller reports all gauges and accessories to be fully functional aside from the power convertible top which remains manually operable.
A mid-mounted 2.5-liter M96 flat-six engine produces up to 201 HP and 181 lb.-ft of torque, driving the rear wheels by way of a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller reports an oil change was performed within the last 2k miles. This Boxster has an aftermarket cat-back exhaust system and passed the California smog test.
A clean title, key, and spare tire are included in the sale.
The seller would like you to know: "I've owned this vehicle for 4 years always kept it garaged, and didn't put many miles on it. I do own other Porsches, so this car was only driven in town once in a blue moon, I recently acquired 2 more cars and I have 0 space, which is why I'm selling it. It drives like a dream - a super fun car, sounds amazing, had no issues with it whatsoever."

@shak0000 i think the mechanism has an issue, it’s very simple to open the top manually I lift that cover in the back and tuck the convertible in. Service I have done the oil change not long ago and replaced a window regulator the car starts up always like a champ I had 0 issues with it. Drives amazing super fun car!
What is the issue with powered top? How do you manually open and close it?
What services have been performed during last four years of ownership? Has the clutch been replaced?

@Razor1964 Great question, the infamous IMS issue on these cars is definitely out there, I am not very familiar with what years had the issues. It did cross my mind the question of would I have this issue, however the car never shown any signs or anything abnormal.
It might be changed or I just might be a lucky one that the issue doesn’t exist on it.
@Wmcnair what can you say about ims replacement? Does 1999 models needs the bearing replacement or is it for 2000 to 2005 models? Let me know
