This 2003 Porsche Boxster S is a black-over-black car that has spent most of its time registered in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Georgia, and 16k of the 92k miles have been added since the seller purchased the car in March 2022. Power is from a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, and features include a black soft top, a speed-activated rear spoiler, 18″ Carrera-style wheels, power-adjustable seats, a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, cruise control, and automatic climate control. This 986 Boxster S is now offered at no reserve with service records and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in black and features a black soft top. Additional features include a speed-activated rear spoiler, side air intakes, and roll hoops. Wear is present on the soft top, the front hood weatherstripping is cracked, the left taillight bulb needs to be replaced, and tint is lifting from the glass. Discolored trim is also noted.
The 18″ Carrera-style wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires. The rear tires were replaced in September 2024, and the front tires were replaced in August 2026. Braking is handled by four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The cabin features power-adjustable seats upholstered in black leather. Features include a CD stereo, a Bose sound system, a wind deflector, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The driver-side vanity mirror illumination does not work, the passenger-side window works intermittently, and the stereo’s volume knob sticks. Photos detailing the condition of the cabin are included in the gallery.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a central tachometer, a 180-mph speedometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The oil alert illuminates intermittently. The digital odometer indicates 92k miles, approximately 16k of which were added under current ownership.
The mid-mounted 3.2-liter flat-six was factory rated at 258 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque, which is routed to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. The results from a June 2026 inspection report are viewable in the gallery, and the seller tells us that the findings therein have not been addressed.
