This 2002 Porsche Boxster S was initially sold in California and remained registered in the state under the original owner until the seller’s acquisition on BaT in October 2023. Now showing 50k miles, it is powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and is finished in Lapis Blue Metallic over Black leather. Equipment includes the Sport Touring Package, a Metropol Blue soft top, 18″ Turbo-look wheels, xenon headlights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, heated power-adjustable seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, a rearview camera, and a Sony touchscreen infotainment system. This 986 Boxster S is offered at no reserve with a window sticker, an owner’s manual, service records, an LA car cover, a Carfax report, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Lapis Blue Metallic and features a Metropol Blue soft top. Additional features include xenon headlights, fog lights, clear side markers, dual roll hoops, side air intakes, a de-badged decklid, a speed-activated rear spoiler, 986.2 taillights, and twin center-exit exhaust outlets. A July 2010 entry on the Carfax report indicates minor damage to the front of the car, which the previous seller stated was due to impact with a curb. The front and rear bumper covers were refinished and the top cables and front trunk struts were replaced under previous ownership.
The 18″ Turbo-look alloy wheels were mounted with Continental ExtremeContact tires in 2018. The car was factory-equipped with a sport suspension, and braking is handled by red four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over a cross-drilled rotor at each corner.
The heated power-adjustable seats are upholstered in black leather. Appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, a removable wind deflector, a rearview camera, and a Sony touchscreen infotainment system linked to aftermarket speakers. The climate control display and cabin air filter were replaced in 2022.
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 50k miles, less than 1k of which were added under current ownership.
The mid-mounted 3.2-liter flat-six was factory rated at 250 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. The water pump, thermostat, and serpentine belt were replaced in 2018. The engine air filter was replaced in 2022 and the most recent oil change was performed in September 2023. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle.
