Porsche Boxster S 981, 6-speed. Search over

I’ve shifted my search away from Targas given market conditions and decided I just don’t need the drama that often comes with an older car, even as reliable and satisfying as the air cooled boxers sixes are.

I’ve owned a Boxster RS60 in the past and was very happy with it. Newer ones are too laden with tech for me. The 981 generation seems to be the sweet spot in terms of value and driving satisfaction, so I’m looking specifically for a 981 (2012/13-2016), must be an “S” and must be a 6-speed MT. Open to any color except black.

I regularly monitor the usual suspects….BAT, Pcar Market, PCA Mart, PCNA dealer inventory, etc. Leads or referrals are also appreciated.

Thanks!

 

Nice choice, I think the manual S is the sweet spot. GTS is also nice but not worth the premium to some. I wouldn’t part with my Spyder for anything. Simply love it.

 

Thanks for reminding me….the GTS would be optimum.

 

PM sent. Need a little info 1st.

Okay, feelers sent out. Let's see if we reel anything in.

Thanks, Dave!

 

By the way, as well as including the GTS I should have excluded the Spyder.
Thanks, all.

 

I have one in my collection with 8K miles, 2013, 6 speed, 981 S, nice build.
Pristine condition 1+ top of market car.
Am not planning on selling as it is a very nice car and they are hard to find in this condition but for the right offer I may part with it.
Drop me a note if interested.

 

Thanks! You have a PM.

Jack - fyi. No affiliation other than I'm searching also, the red dash isn't my thing so I'm not considering bidding:

No Reserve: 9k-Mile 2013 Porsche Boxster S 6-Speed for sale on BaT Auctions - ending April 16 (Lot #187,736) | Bring a Trailer

 

Thanks, Phil. I just received it on my BAT feed about 30 minutes ago. I wish it had more performance options, but at least the sport exhaust sounds right! Good luck on your search. I’ve missed a few in the last couple of weeks.

 

A 987.2 S is an acceptable alternative. There’s one that meets mt specs on BAT but it’s black/black.

 

If you're in the market for a 981 Spyder, feel free to shoot me a PM with your price range.

Mine has just 2K miles—virtually brand new. It’s spec’d with every available factory option and then some, and it carries a highly significant collector history.

It’s priced above typical market value and isn’t publicly listed. Still on the fence about letting it go or keeping it in the collection.

 

I purchased a great 997.2 S six speed with 16,000 miles, spec’ed almost as I would have ordered it new; mechanically and cosmetically flawless, fully serviced The car was an under the radar referral, never advertised. It isn’t a unicorn but definitely a hen’s tooth. I feel pretty lucky.

 

We’re going to need pics for verification and dumb comments.

She’s good looking bro. Well played. Unfortunately I have no dumb comments to make. Sit tight I’m sure it will come. lol
Congrats.

 

very nicely done! The only thing that I added to my 991 to make it exactly as I would have spec'ed from new is leather interior. It's sooo nice when you get it just right!

 

Thanks, Curt.

So you retrofitted a full leather interior into your 991? If that’s correct would you mind PMing details to me? I’ve read that the full leather is far superior to standard leather which is what I have.

Thanks again.

Jack.

 

Wow- love white…all the best Jack!…btw I’ve been using your/our RS 60 quite a bit.Drove from Philly to Cincinnati afewweeks ago (I judged at Cincinatti Concours).Rides so solid!-especially for a17 years old car

 

Thanks, Stuart! Great to hear from you. Let me know when you’re ready!

 

Look for Boxster, buy 911. Good job.

 

Thanks, Terry!
