This 2004 Porsche 986 Boxster S is finished in Speed Yellow over a Black interior and features a 5-speed Tiptronic S transmission paired with its 3.2-liter flat-six engine. It comes factory-equipped with optional heated leather Sport Seats, Porsche-crested headrests, Speed Yellow seatbelts, and painted body-colored roll bars. This Boxster S also features an OEM exterior Aerokit, 18” Carrera wheels, and an updated Pioneer head unit with Apple CarPlay and a rearview camera. The car had been with its second owner for 16 years when it was purchased by the seller in July 2021 and is now being offered for auction out of Virginia with approximately 18,500 miles showing on the odometer.
This 986 is finished in Speed Yellow with a black power-operated convertible top. It features an OEM exterior Aerokit, adding a revised front fascia, side skirts, and a fixed body-colored wing mounted on the rear decklid. Other items include integrated fog lights, heated power mirrors, side air intakes, optional painted body-colored roll bars, a speed-activated rear spoiler, dual center-mounted exhaust outlets, red brake calipers, and silver 18” Carrera wheels. The seller notes a few minor paint scratch touch-ups on the hood and some scrapes on the underside of the front spoiler. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Black interior features optional heated leather Sport Seats, Porsche-crested, and Speed Yellow seatbelts. Other accessories include a black leather three-spoke steering wheel, automatic climate control, cruise control, a remote central locking system, an onboard computer, and a cabin wind deflector. The current owner installed a new Pioneer head unit with Apple CarPlay and a rearview camera, upgraded Bose rear speakers, and new front speakers in 2021.
Rated at 258 HP, the mid-mounted 3.2-liter flat-six engine drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic transaxle. The seller notes an IMS bearing upgrade has been installed, and the original transmission was damaged during installation replaced with a new transmission by the dealer. All routine maintenance items are said to be up to date.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a window sticker, a toolkit, a spare tire, a car cover, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This Speed Yellow Porsche is my wife’s car.. She calls this 'her sunshine'! Sunshine receives so much attention. The car runs like new. All services are up to date. Many small problems have been corrected over the last 3 years of our ownership. We have had a heated/cooled garage during our ownership. We are downsizing our number of vehicles after moving into a continuing care community that only allows 2 vehicles.”

@Bigdeece When the new IMS bearing was installed, the transmission was not reinstalled properly. The transmission was then damaged when the mechanic was testing the car. A new transmission was installed at no cost.
@bigdeecce, yes, look at image 18- you'll see right there- it's got a Tiptronic lever!!! Joking around- nothing wrong with a tip- I can just imagine ripping around in a speed yellow MT would be wild. With the tip, you'll just have to settle for cruising. I anticipate the tip will hold this back - aside from that it's got everything an enthusiast would want, but the tip is, unfortunately, likely very limiting in buyer pool.
Transmission problem?
getting it kicked off here- gorgeous car @caird001 !!! I can imagine being forced to reduce the fleet is tough, but all I can say is - wow. The color and aero kit are *aaalllllllmost enough for me to get over the transmission problem!!

@classic-michael All gauges and AC work. No leaks.
What kind of oil test?
Do all gauges and AC work? any oil leaks? any oil test completed?
“Sunshine” needs a new home. The continuing care facility where we have moved only allows 2 cars on campus. My wife has enjoyed this car more than any we have had over our 50+ years of marriage. Sunshine is a fun sports car. Easy to drive, the right size, and a definite head turner even a PCA events. Bid well!
