Porsche Boxster for Sale
The Porsche Boxster is the open-top companion to the Cayman — a mid-engined roadster that delivers a pure, involving driving experience at prices significantly below the 911. Since its introduction in 1996, the Boxster has been praised for its handling balance, build quality, and the joy of open-air driving.
Four generations cover the full Boxster range: the 986 (1996–2004), the 987 (2004–2012), the 981 (2012–2016), and the current 718 platform (2016–present). The 981 Boxster S and Spyder with naturally aspirated flat-six engines are the most sought-after among enthusiasts. The 718 Boxster Spyder pairs a 4.0-litre GT4 engine with the open-top body for an exceptional driver's car.
The Boxster represents outstanding value in the sports car market — particularly the 987 and 981 generations, where depreciation has made excellent condition examples highly accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the Porsche Boxster reliable?
- The 987 and later Boxsters are generally reliable with proper maintenance. The 986 and early 987 with M96 engines carry the IMS bearing concern — verify status before purchase. The 981 and 718 generations are significantly more reliable and trouble-free.
- Which Boxster is the best to buy?
- The 981 Boxster S offers the best combination of driving experience, reliability, and value. The naturally aspirated flat-six in the S is a highlight. For outright performance, the 718 Boxster Spyder with its 4.0-litre engine is the definitive open-top Porsche sports car.
- Does the Porsche Boxster have the IMS bearing problem?
- Yes — the 986 and 987 Boxster with M96/M97 engines are affected. The 981 and 718 use different engines and are free of IMS. For 986/987 examples, confirm IMS bearing status or budget accordingly for the LN Engineering retrofit.
