Pairing a 6-speed manual transmission with its naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six engine, this 2013 Porsche 981 Boxster S comes finished in Black over matching upholstery. It was factory optioned with 20” Carrera S wheels, bi-xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System, 14-way Sport Seats, the Infotainment Package with BOSE Surround Sound, and the Premium Package. Modified with a COBB Accessport tune, sport headers with 200-cell catalytic converters, SOUL Performance exhaust tips, and a BMC F1 replacement, this example Boxster S is now being offered for auction by its seller out of South Carolina showing less than 33k miles on the odometer.
This 981 is finished in Black with a matching convertible top and is distinguishable as an “S” model from a standard Boxster by its red-painted brake calipers and central dual-tipped exhaust outlet. Optional equipment includes bi-xenon headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) and 20” Carrera S wheels with colored Porsche center crests. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a CARFAX report showing minor damage in October 2014.
The cabin presents Black partial leather upholstery and 14-way power-adjustable Sport Seats including the Memory Package. Other options include front seat heating and ventilation and the Premium Package which adds auto-dimming mirrors with an integrated rain sensor, a wind deflector, and two-zone automatic climate control. Additionally, the car features the Infotainment Package with BOSE Surround Sound which adds Porsche Communication Management 3 (PCM 3) with HD Radio and extended navigation. All gauges and accessories are confirmed to be in proper working order.
A naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six engine delivers up to 315 HP and 266 lb.-ft of torque stock to the rear wheels by way of a 6-speed manual transmission. Modifications include a COBB Accessport tune, sport headers with 200-cell catalytic converters, SOUL Performance exhaust tips, and a BMC F1 replacement. The seller notes that the last major service was performed at 32,042 miles and recommends performing a time interval-based service.
This sale will include a clean title, owner’s manuals, a window sticker, and a toolkit.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for your interest! This car belonged to my late husband, who took excellent care of it. This Boxster S was one of his loves, and its condition reflects the same. This car was his sunny day driving car. Although most would be satisfied with the performance of the Boxster S from the factory, my husband was not. The list of modifications reflects my husband's desire to unleash this car's potential. His success was reflected in his face when driving the car. Please feel free to ask any questions, and I will answer them to the best of my knowledge and ability.”

@ShiftIt thank you so much for your response. Any possibility to lay eyes on the car as I’m local. Almost same zip code.
My inquiry was regarding the included carfax report with auction that shows minor damage to left side. If you may know of any details.
@drgilani Thank you for your comment and inquiry. In the service record image I included the front of a CARFAX report downloaded to my computer 3/28/2023. There was no mention of any damage.
Although I reviewed all the available service records and documentation in my late husband's file I see no record of the CARFAX reported damages. I will be more than happy to send detailed images of any areas as you request. You are entirely correct in that the Boxster S was serviced almost exclusively at McDaniels. To be complete there was one service done at HBi Auto when the after market modifications were done. If I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to reach out.
I’m not sure if this comment is right for this and moderators please remove this if it’s against the policies.
Im in Columbia SC, and is there any way I can see this car in person in next couple days. Thank you
@drgilani Thank you.
@Quackbury Thank you for the kind encouraging words!
@Sensable Yes these cars are fun to drive--so glad to hear you love yours too! Thanks for sharing.
Can you reflect on the minor damage report noted on CARFAX in 2014, any details or the pictures.
Looks like all services were done at McDaniels.

So sorry for your loss. I'm sure your late husband would be delighted that you chose to list it here, where it will almost certainly find a new home with an enthusiast who will treasure it as he did.
I have the 2016 version of this fantastic S. It is my 4th Pcar and is by far the most enjoyable to drive of all of them. This example would sorely tempt me if I were in the market. It is so obvious that the owner loved this car. GLWA. Someone is going to get one heck of a ride.
