1998 Porsche Boxster Base

Vehicle Name: 1998 Porsche Boxster (986.1) VIN: WP0CA2980WU625207 Mileage: 21,247 miles Exterior: Black Interior: Boxster Red Special Leather Convertible Top: Black Engine: 2.5L Naturally Aspirated Flat-Six (M96/20) Transmission: 5-Speed Manual Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive Horsepower: 201 hp Torque: 181 lb-ft This 1998 Porsche Boxster is an exceptionally low-mileage first-generation 986.1 finished in Black over Boxster Red Special Leather with a black convertible top and showing just 21,247 miles. The factory build sheet confirms an excellent specification including the P63 Sport Package, 17-inch Boxster-Design wheels, colored Porsche crest wheel caps, Hi-Fi Sound Package, Porsche Windstop, cruise control, and AM/FM CD player. Powered by Porsche's naturally aspirated 2.5-liter M96/20 flat-six and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, the original Boxster delivers the lightweight, mid-engine driving experience that helped define Porsche's modern roadster. With only three previous owners, approximately 19 years under its second owner, and a CARFAX showing no reported accidents or damage, this 21k-mile example is an increasingly difficult specification to duplicate.

Its original MSRP was $44,325, and the combination of Black paint with Boxster Red Special Leather gives this early 986 a particularly striking period-correct Porsche specification. The factory P63 Sport Package, 17-inch Boxster-Design wheels, colored crest center caps, Hi-Fi audio system, Windstop, and cruise control further distinguish this example from a basic early Boxster.
