Finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic over a black leather interior, this 2001 Porsche 986 Boxster S is equipped with a mid-mounted 3.2-liter flat-six engine paired with a 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The car was highly equipped from the factory including optional heated 8-way power seats with adjustable lumbar support and driver memory, aluminum-look instrument dials, Arctic Silver-painted roll bars, Litronic bi-xenon headlamps, and 18” SportDesign wheels. The seller purchased it in November 2022 and it underwent several services along with the installation of an upgraded Sony head unit with a backup camera and Apple CarPlay. This 986 is now being offered for auction out of Florida with approximately 61k miles on the odometer.
This Boxster S is finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic with a black convertible top. Equipment includes optional Litronic bi-xenon headlamps with washers, Arctic Silver-painted roll bars, silver-colored front air intake grilles, side air intakes, a speed-activated rear spoiler, dual center-mounted tailpipes, red brake calipers, and black powder-coated 18” SportDesign wheels. New Sumitomo tires were installed within the last 500 miles. The seller states the headlight lenses have been polished and the front bumper and hood were refinished for cosmetic purposes in January 2023. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, this Boxster S features a premium black leather interior with optional heated 8-way power-adjustable seats with lumbar support and driver position memory. Other accessories include optional aluminum-look instrument dials, a three-spoke leather steering wheel with Tiptronic shift buttons, a Porsche-crested Tiptronic gear selector, an aluminum trimmed handbrake lever, stainless-steel door entry guards, automatic climate control, cruise control, a removable wind deflector, and an aftermarket Sony XAV-AX5600 head unit with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and a backup camera. The window regulators were replaced under the seller’s ownership along with the wind deflector, headrest molding, and cabin filter.
The naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six engine delivers up to 250 HP and 225 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The previous owner informed the seller the IMS bearing was replaced, although no supporting documentation is available. The hood and rear trunk shocks were replaced by the previous owner along with the shocks and rear brake light. Service under current ownership includes replacing the spark plug seals, headlight leveling sensor, tie rods, ball joints, air/oil separator, and rear undertray. Service records are provided for reference in the gallery.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a car cover, service records, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “I have owned this car for 2 years ... it’s been a blast - aircon blows ice cold, the roof is leak-proof here in Florida. PO completed a major service and suspension overhaul in 2019. The paint is good with no scratches or blemishes/dings. The roof looks new and window regulators have been replaced so the window seals properly to the roof line. Installation of a new Apple CarPlay stereo with mapping and replacement of cracked wind deflector make this perfect top-down cruiser. Reluctant sales forced by downsizing home.”

The car is Tiptronic 4 speed, so has shifter +/- button either side of the steering wheel and on the gear shift itself - not true paddles. Yes its as fast as my 360 F1 which is true paddle shifting (when it works)
The reason I asked precisely is because I was looking at my window sticker for my own 2001 Boxster S that I sold 15 years ago.
It’s really too bad that your car does not have:
sport package
special chassis rigidly tuned
Porsche stability management
Can I assume that there are paddle shifters? Is the shifting crisp and nearly instantaneous?
@Artdeckco Black leather yes,
Heated seats , yes
Leather Fronted way seats - yes

@renegad_1 Its a 3.2 ... will ask PCM to correct the copy .. it is the original engine
In one place the engine is noted as a 3.2 liter and in another it is listed as a 3.4. Can you please correct this? And is it the original engine?
