This 2001 Porsche Boxster S is finished in Zanzibar Red over black full supple leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. It has remained on the East Coast since new and now has 63k miles. Equipment includes the Sport Touring and Power Seat packages as well as a black soft top, 18″ Turbo-look wheels, xenon headlights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, cruise control, a Bluetooth-capable Alpine CD stereo, and a Hi-Fi sound system with DSP. Recently acquired by the selling dealer, this 986 Boxster S is now offered with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New Jersey title.
The car is finished in Zanzibar Red and features a black soft top with a replacement rear window. Additional features include xenon headlights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, side air intake scoops, roll hoops, and clear front side markers. The seller notes wear on the soft top fabric, a patched tear in the top rear window, and blemishes in the finish as depicted in the photo gallery along with photos of paint meter readings.
The 18″ Turbo-look wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport front and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S rear tires measuring 225/40 and 265/35, respectively. Braking is handled by four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The cabin features power-adjustable seats upholstered in black supple leather, and color-coordinated leather extends to the dashboard and door panels. Features include driver seat-position memory settings, a wind deflector, cruise control, automatic climate control, a Bluetooth-capable Alpine CD stereo, and a Hi-Fi sound system with Digital Sound Processing (DSP). The seller states that the instrument binnacle leather upholstery has been replaced, and a climate control screen was replaced in preparation for the sale. The center console hinge is missing.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a central tachometer, a 180-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 63k miles.
The mid-mounted 3.2L flat-six was factory rated at 250 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. Records indicate that the IMS bearing was replaced in September 2013 at 35k miles at which time the rear main seal was also replaced. The oil was most recently changed in June 2023.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. The clutch components were replaced along with the flywheel and pilot bearing in September 2013 at 35k miles.
The window sticker notes initial delivery to Leith Incorporated in Cary, North Carolina, and lists factory equipment, colors, options, and a total price of $61,252. The owner’s manual, tools, and service records are also included in the sale.
The Carfax report notes at least one recall.
