About this car

The Pure Roadster Experience: Porsche Boxster 987 S - Raw, elegant and uncompromising pleasure

Porsche. The name alone conjures images of precision, passion and pure performance. Since Ferdinand Porsche founded his engineering firm in 1931, the marque from Stuttgart has grown into the definitive symbol of German sports car engineering. Having made its name with icons such as the 356 and, of course, the legendary 911, Porsche went looking in the 1990s for a new way to make sporting performance more accessible, without diluting the values the brand stood for.

That search led, in 1996, to the birth of the Porsche Boxster: a two-seat, mid-engined roadster inspired by the racing cars of years gone by. The combination of perfect weight distribution, a naturally aspirated six-cylinder boxer engine and an open top quickly made the Boxster a beloved driver's car.

The Boxster 987, introduced in 2004, took that concept to a higher level. The lines became more muscular, the interior more luxurious, and the performance more refined still. In the Boxster S specification (like this beautiful 2009 example) everything comes together: raw power, breathtaking balance and a soundtrack that strikes you right in the heart.

Driving the Boxster 987 S - a symphony of the senses and pure precision

You approach the Boxster 987 S. Its Tiefschwarz Metallic paint glistens in the morning light like liquid obsidian. The taut lines, the broad hips, the low stance: everything about this car cries out "come and drive". You open the low, sporting door and lower yourself into the cockpit-like interior. The black leather embraces you like a bespoke suit. Everything feels exactly right: from the position of the wheel to the short throw of the gear lever.

You turn the key (on the left of the steering wheel, of course, as it should be in a Porsche) and the 3.4-litre boxer engine springs to life. Not with a scream, but with an honest, mechanical primal force. The optional sports exhaust makes itself heard at once: a deep, muffled rumble that turns into a singing symphony as the revs climb.

You pull away. The manual six-speed clicks with German precision, and the first bend feels like a revelation. The mid-mounted engine delivers perfect balance; the car dances through the corners. Every touch of the throttle, every millimetre of steering input is translated straight into movement. This is driving as driving was meant to be. Honest. Analytical. Intense.

On full song the boxer engine shrieks with delight, well beyond 7,000 rpm. The wind rushes past your ears, the horizon streams by. You are one with the machine.

Design and details, a roadster as a work of art on wheels

The Boxster 987 S may well be one of the most balanced designs in the Porsche range. The low nose, the subtle curves, the broad stance at the rear: all of it is functional as well as aesthetic. In Tiefschwarz Metallic the shape comes wonderfully into its own: understated elegance with a sporting undertone.

The sports alloys fill the arches perfectly and the sports exhaust hints subtly at the potential beneath the bonnet. Inside reigns German solidity: leather, aluminium, and an ergonomy that invites active driving. Everything fits. Everything is Porsche.

But what makes this example truly unique is its wholly original paint and the outstanding condition it is in. A rarity in a sports car of this calibre.

A unique opportunity, just 66,067 km, entirely original and ready for adventure

This Porsche Boxster 987 S, first registered in Germany on 3 February 2009, is a genuine gem. With just 66,067 kilometres on the clock and a history of careful owners, its condition is nothing short of exceptional. Everything breathes love and precision: from the paintwork, still entirely in its original finish, to the immaculate interior that shows barely a trace of use.

The car has been fully maintained mechanically and fitted with a sought-after sports exhaust that makes the driving experience more intense still. This Boxster is a guarantee not only of unrivalled driving pleasure, but also of retained value and exclusivity. A timeless investment for anyone seeking a pure driver's car.

Come and experience what words cannot describe, your invitation in Katwijk

Picture this: the top down, a sunny day, and you behind the wheel of this perfect Porsche. You drive along the coast, feel the wind, hear the raw sound of the boxer engine behind you, and you know: this is freedom. This is pure joy on four wheels.

But this feeling cannot be captured in words. It has to be experienced. That is why we warmly invite you to come and admire this beautiful Porsche Boxster 987 S in our showroom in Katwijk. You are more than welcome to inspect the car in every detail, take a seat behind the wheel, and imagine how it would look on your own driveway.

The coffee is ready and we will take all the time you need. Because this Porsche deserves an owner who understands what driving truly means.

This is not a car for someone who wants a badge. This is a car for someone who wants to drive.

Buyer's guide · Porsche Boxster (987)

Looking for a Porsche Boxster (987) yourself? What you need to know.

De Porsche Boxster 987 (2005–2012) is de tweede generatie van Porsche's middenmotor-roadster, met 2.7-, 3.2- en 3.4-liter boxermotoren (en vanaf 2009 een 2.9-liter basismotor). In 2026 liggen goede exemplaren grofweg tussen €21,000 en €45,000, afhankelijk van variant, kilometerstand en historie. Belangrijkste aandachtspunt: bij de vroege 987.1-motoren (M96/M97) het IMS-lager en boringslijtage. De 987.2 vanaf 2009 kreeg de geheel nieuwe 9A1-motor zonder IMS-lager en kent deze zorg niet.

What should you look for when buying a Porsche Boxster (987)?

Never buy on emotion alone. The 987 is well built, but the early M96/M97 engines require attention. Work through the systems below — preferably with a borescope inspection and full history.

Engine and drivetrain

  • IMS bearing (intermediate shaft bearing). Het IMS-lager zit in de M96/M97-motoren; de 987.1 kreeg een groter, sterker enkelrijs IMS-lager dat niet zonder het openen van het motorblok te vervangen is. De vroegste 987-motoren hadden nog een serviceerbaar IMS-lager; vanaf 2007 werd overgestapt op de M97-versie met het niet-serviceerbare lager. Ondanks het lagere faalpercentage van het grotere IMS-lager bleef de tussenas bij velen als aandachtspunt gelden. Indicatieve kosten van een preventieve vervanging (inclusief koppeling/RMS): globaal €2,000 tot €5,500, waarbij handbakauto's aan de onderkant en automaten aan de bovenkant van die bandbreedte zitten.
  • Bore scoring. On 987s with the 3.4-litre engine: watch for excessive oil consumption and oil residue around the exhaust. Bore wear remains a point of attention on the M97 engines. In the event of a rattling noise or low oil level, a professional borescope inspection prior to purchase is advisable.
  • Other engine points. Watch for a worn oil/air separator (smoke on starting), cracked ignition coils (misfires) and defective mass airflow sensors. On PDK cars, check the history: the transmission oil should be changed periodically, which was often skipped.

Bodywork and corrosion

  • Most of the known issues are well documented and can be thoroughly assessed during a pre-purchase inspection — start with a thorough visual inspection for rust and damage. Pay attention to stone chips on the nose, the condition of the sills and any previous accident repairs.
  • Check the soft top: smooth operation, no tears or leaks, and an intact rear window.
  • Cooling system: a defective cap or leak is a known and generally relatively inexpensive fault (a few tens to a few hundred euros).

Interior and electrics

  • Check the known wear points: steering wheel, gear lever and the plastic coatings on the buttons. Test all electrical functions, the roof operation and the air conditioning.
  • Inspect the infotainment and, in the 987.2, the operation of the revised PCM system.

History and documentation

  • Request the service history; check whether IMS-related work has been carried out. A largely original example with low, verifiable mileage and complete history generally achieves considerably higher prices than a car with deferred maintenance or unclear provenance.
  • Ask for invoices of major services, timing belt/chain and any engine work. Our examples — such as the 2009 Boxster S with 66,067 km in Tiefschwarz Metallic — are fully scrutinised on precisely these points before they are offered.
Every example we propose through a search request is checked by us on precisely these points — including history, documentation and technical condition. Commission a search →

Which Porsche Boxster (987) suits you?

Those who mainly want to drive and seeks peace of mind will preferably choose a 987.2 (2009–2012). The 2009–2012 987.2 Boxster S with the revised 3.4 DFI engine is free of IMS concerns, delivers 310 bhp and is regarded as the sweet spot for enthusiasts. Those seeking mechanical purity and the keenest price, will find much enjoyment in a well-maintained 987.1 with a manual gearbox: the 987.1 offers classic Porsche character at a lower entry point, but requires attention to the IMS history.

Manual versus PDK/Tiptronic is a matter of taste: the manual is purer, the PDK faster and more modern. For the collector, the RS60 Spyder and the Boxster Spyder are the most interesting candidates on account of their production runs and motorsport provenance. Are you hesitating between variants, condition or price level? HooG is happy to advise you without obligation and will search specifically for the right example.

Market overview

What does a Porsche Boxster (987) cost?

€39,950
This car — sold for

The price picture below is based on European market and auction data from early 2026.

De gemiddelde waarde van een Boxster 987 (basis) ligt in 2026 rond €21,000. Op veilingen betaalt u voor een basis-987 in gemiddelde conditie omgerekend zo'n £ 16.579 (circa €19,000), met een all-time recordprijs van £ 30.938. Voor de Boxster S ligt het veilinggemiddelde hoger, rond £ 20.475 (circa €24,000), gebaseerd op 166 geanalyseerde verkopen. Onze eigen 2009 Boxster S (66,067 km, Tiefschwarz Metallic) wordt aangeboden voor €42,500 — a price befitting a carefully selected, low-mileage 987.2 example.

The Spyder is in a class of its own: with an all-time record price of £ 92,506, achieved at Bring A Trailer in April 2026. Its market value is determined primarily by variant, technical condition, originality, mileage, rarity and documentation. The 987.2 (from 2009) typically trades higher than the 987.1 owing to the updated 9A1 engine and improved reliability.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about the Porsche Boxster (987)

In 2026, the average value of a base 987 is around €21,000. Good Boxster S examples move roughly between €24,000 and €45,000, depending on model year (987.1 or 987.2), mileage, options and history. The rare Spyder sits considerably higher, with auction records of well over £ 90.000.
Bij de vroege 987.1 (M96/M97) zijn het IMS-lager en boringslijtage de belangrijkste punten; controleer op olieverbruik en aanslag rond de uitlaat. Vraag altijd volledige historie op. Let daarnaast op de softtop, cooling system, bobines en olie-/luchtafscheider. Een borescope-inspectie voor aankoop is aan te raden.
The 987.1 (2005–2008) has the M96/M97 engines with their known IMS and bore scoring concerns. The 987.2 (from 2009) received the all-new 9A1 (MA1) engine generation without the IMS bearing, plus the PDK dual-clutch gearbox and direct fuel injection (DFI) on the S. The 987.2 is therefore considered more reliable and generally commands higher prices.
The 987 is above all a car to drive. Standard models generally appreciate more slowly than a 911, while special versions such as the Spyder already command higher prices. Value retention depends strongly on originality, history and condition. This is not investment advice — buy primarily to enjoy it.
If you are looking for carefree driving pleasure, a 987.2 Boxster S is the safest choice. If you want purity at a keener price, a well-maintained 987.1 with manual gearbox is excellent. Collectors look to the RS60 Spyder and the Boxster Spyder for their limited production runs and motorsport heritage.
Buy on history and engineering, not on colour alone. Preferably choose a documented example that has been inspected beforehand, with attention to the IMS and bore wear.
