For sale: MY03 Porsche Boxster 986 – manual, low km, and ready to drive away with major maintenance completed.
After years of weekend getaways and country drives, it’s time to part ways with my much-loved Porsche Boxster.
This MY03 model is the final refinement of the 986 generation, featuring the rare manual transmission, factory upgrades, and all major maintenance completed.
Recent work:
- Feb 2025: Porsche service
- Mar 2025: New brake pads & discs ($2.5k)
- Mar 2025: Front bumper repainted ($800)
- Sep 2025: New front tyres fitted ($800)
Details:
- 5-speed manual transmission
- 129,000 km – low for its age, meticulously maintained
- Electric soft top in excellent condition
- Leather interior
- Factory upgraded 18” Porsche alloys
- Factory-style rear spoiler – subtle yet sporty
- Dual luggage compartments (front & rear)
- Cold A/C, working stereo, power windows
- Clear title – no accident history, no finance owing
Honest notes:
- On full fan speed, the A/C can blow out a few bits of foam from the internal vent flaps — a common age-related quirk in Boxsters of this era. It doesn’t affect cooling performance
- Glovebox handle temperamental (Minor wear & tear, as expected for a 20+ year old car)
986 Boxsters, particularly manuals like this, are increasingly sought after and are tipped to appreciate over the next decade.
It’s genuinely bittersweet to let her go, but I’m hopeful she’ll find a new owner who’ll enjoy her as much as I have.
