This first-generation 1998 Porsche 986 Boxster is finished in Black over a matching interior and features a 5-speed manual transmission paired with its mid-mounted flat-six engine. It also comes equipped with automatic climate control, cruise control, power seats, stainless-steel door sills, an onboard computer, and 17” alloy wheels. Showing approximately 51k miles on the odometer, this Boxster is now being offered for auction out of Florida.
This 986 is finished in Black with a matching power-retractable convertible roof, silver front grilles, and 17” Twist alloy wheels. Other equipment includes headlamp washers, fog lights, side air intakes, dual roll hoops, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and a center-mounted exhaust outlet. The seller indicates some signs of road-going wear are consistent with the car’s mileage and notes that four new tires were installed in preparation for sale. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features power-adjustable black leather seats with a matching dashboard, door panels, carpets, and a leather four-spoke steering wheel. Other accessories include stainless-steel door sills guards with Boxster insignias, black carpet floor mats with red Porsche logos, power windows and mirrors, a remote central locking system, automatic climate control, cruise control, an onboard computer, and a Porsche CDR-210 stereo. The seller notes the original radio has been refurbished and all gauges and accessories are working properly.
Rated at 201 HP and 181 lb.-ft of torque, the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter flat-six engine sends power to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. Stopping power comes from fixed 4-piston disc brakes and ventilated discs at each corner. The seller states all known service history is provided on the CARFAX report.
This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “A fantastic bargain, well maintained and a ton of fun... no IMS issues prior to 2000 so nothing to worry about there... was garage kept and meticulously looked after.”

Good Morning and happy Monday! Thanks for all the interest in this great Boxster. I will be available to answer any questions through out the day.
As an FYI, I am happy to assist with shipping the car. I have an account with an online broker called Central Dispatch and have used them to ship hundreds of cars. All I need is your Zip code to provide an estimate. I don't make money on shipping and the fee is paid to the driver on delivery.
Best of luck everyone!

@faugrad 1% failure rate compared to 10%... :)
"...no IMS issues prior to 2000 so nothing to worry about there..." Not quite true. While failure is less prone on the dual row IMS bearings, it's still an issue and well documented.
