Description from the seller
GENERAL
This Porsche Boxster 986 Cabriolet, model year 1997 and originally introduced in 1996, marked the brand’s return to the philosophy of lightweight mid-engine roadsters. Technically, this version is equipped with the 2.5-liter water-cooled atmospheric flat-six engine with an exact displacement of 2,480 cc, delivering 204 HP at 6,000 rpm and 245 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. With the Tiptronic S transmission, the model is homologated to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 235 km/h. The current unit has 99,600 kilometers and presents itself as a balanced option, offering direct driving and ready to enjoy, now established as a modern classic highly valued by enthusiasts.
CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA
The bodywork is in perfect condition and stands out for its exclusive violet metallic color, complemented by an aesthetic inspired by the Boxster S and original wheels sourced from a Porsche 911. The vehicle features an uncommon configuration that broadens its usability year-round, as it includes both the canvas soft top and the coveted removable hardtop. Additionally, the electric rear spoiler is in perfect working order.
MECÁNICA
Both the 2.5-liter engine and the Tiptronic transmission are in perfect condition. In the braking department, the front discs are at 80% of their life with pads at 60%, while the rear discs are at 90% with pads at 50%. Regarding the tires, the rear wheels are at 60% of use, while the front wheels are due for replacement.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
