An aftermarket Alpine radio has been installed and the seller confirms all gauges and accessories to be fully functional except for the passenger side power-operated window.
This 986 is equipped with a mid-mounted 2.7 L flat-six engine. A desirable 5-speed manual transmission sends 217 HP to the rear wheels while the upgraded Boxster S front brakes provide improved stopping power. A major engine-out service is said to have been carried out in 2019 which included a dual-row IMS bearing upgrade and replacements of the rear main seal (RMS), water pump, thermostat, spark plugs, and ignition coils. Service records are included from the current owenrship and this Boxster is said to drive very well.
This sale will include a set of 2 keys, the original books and tools, the factory wind deflector, some service records, and a clean title. With some critical maintenance items addressed, this Boxster makes the perfect all-around driver for any enthusiast, do not miss out.
