So after 6 enjoyable years the time to let has arrived. Need some advice on pricing, I see that for 1997 2.5 the market rate looks to be about 5k. Mine I feel has a crazy amount of updates and due to age and cost I see it may appeal to the younger want to be Porsche owners. I'm putting its value at 7.5k just wanted to find out if that's being realistic at all, as 7.5k buys you a 1999, 2000 model.
Black with Black Leather
Think 83k
Early history is all Porsche, then Porsche Indy and last 2 years my local who is a Boxster owner himself
I have a folder of receipts from birth
Most recently new coil packs, and both bank sensors.
I have owed it the last 6 years never been tracked, previous owners mostly Doctors/Dentists
Conditions is excellent, inside and paintwork (most folk don't know the year even Indy's think its a 2002/4 due to updates)
Extras/Updates
Electric Recline
White Dials
Cruise Control
Computer
Sun Visors
Wind Deflector
CD Tray
Useless drinks holder
Has a tracker installed although I have never activated it, but paperwork is there.
3 spoke steering wheel with limited edition silver badge
£2,000 ICE system, includes full double din Pioneer touch screen/sat nav/Bluetooth/iPod/USB/DVD/SD Card, custom Jenhert speakers custom for Boxster, has 2 6.5 speakers in each door, and dash mid and tweeter, made in the same finish as the car so looks as if it was a factory option. Powered via an Alpine amplifier, Professionally installed. All Receipts.
Hood is 1 year old and has glass window with defrost option
Front headlights updated to clear
Side indicator lights updated to clear
Rear brake lights updated to newer clear
18" turbo 2 alloys with Michelin Pilots all round 5-6mm (Gio-Tracked)
Known Issue (its 16 years old, it's gonna have some)
1 - condensation in certain weather when left out, although found recently leaving 2 dehumidifier bags works wonders.
2 - starter motor screeches 50% of the time on start, had this for 4 years, was told by my Indy they can clean up the starter but not cure it, replace for a new starter or leave it as it will never break anyway, obviously I done the latter.
Thank god I can use the above for my sale advertisement
That's all folks, so am I being optimistic at wanting far above the market price for a standard boxster of this age?
On a side note, huge thanks to this forum, great info and very very helpful people especially Richard and Nick who are always on the case. I do hope to be back here again, but for now I will be out of the Porsche world, see how long I can resist.
