Finished in Basalt Black Metallic over a matching interior, this 2005 Porsche 987 Boxster is the ideal driving enthusiast’s car with a 5-speed manual gearbox paired with its mid-mounted flat-six engine. It was also ordered with optional heated front seats, automatic climate control, Sound Package Plus, and 18” Boxster S wheels. This launch-year 987 has been recently serviced and is now being offered for auction out of Indiana showing just over 32k miles on the odometer.
The body is finished in Basalt Black Metallic with a matching black convertible top. The car rides on a set of optional 18” Boxster S wheels dressed in Sumitomo HTR ZII tires from 2008. The seller describes the exterior to be in good overall condition with some minor rock chips on the lower front fascia, detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The black standard leather interior comes factory equipped with optional heated seats, automatic climate control, and Sound Package Plus. Other equipment includes a three-spoke steering wheel, heated rear window, Porsche CDR24 radio, an aftermarket shift knob, silver “Boxster” logo door sills, and a removable wind deflector between the seats.
A naturally aspirated 2.7-liter flat-six engine delivers up to 240 HP and 199 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller states a service was recently completed including an oil change as well as replacements of the water pump and thermostat.
This sale will include a clean title.
@davevdl Thanks for the resource! It does look pretty straightforward.
@EnthusiastAutoHaus easy fix so not a big deal. Its a small piece of elastic material that needs to be replaced. I did it and worked fine. Its a known issue.
@EnthusiastAutoHaus @Alphaboy1 This is very common, even with new roofs. My roof is from November 2020 and I have the same issue. Easy fix to be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgpkBLwQj-I

@Alphaboy1 It does happen on the driver side, when I close the top I stop half way to tuck it, and continue from there.

Nice car. the roof seems to have an issue with overlapping the plastic sides when closing. I know this is common after some time. Please confirm this to be the case.

Clearly needs Tires $1200 or more and IMS with Clutch.
But damn nice looking car.
@jeffsnavely Realistically we recommend doing an IMS anytime there is zero history on it, regardless of production date. Thankfully it's not even that pricey anymore, our local Porsche specialist is $2,300 for IMS replacement, or $3,000 all in if you want the clutch done at the same time.

11-1-04 production date indicates the older IMS that will need replacing ASAP.
