It's amazing to think you can own a well-maintained Porsche drop-top for less than the price of an economy car. And more than just value, this 2001 Porsche Boxster is also attractive for its distinct color combo, well-placed upgrades, loaded interior, and the desired control of a five-speed stick.
The shape has Porsche blood running through its veins, so you'll hardly be able to resist the car's siren call to get in, turn the key, drop the top, and head out in search of twisting pavement. The dark blue paint is a factory original color that we don't see very often, which makes this exotic stand out even further. It gives this sports roadster an elegant look that's complemented by the polished 17-inch wheels. The full package has a clean look of a well-respected yet driver-ready car. And we like the little additions that make this one feel sleeker. The full clear headlight package makes the front end look cleaner, and there's a color-matched tonneau with racing-style buttresses that remind us of the later Boxster Spyder limited edition.
There is a well-fitting black roof, but we just love the look of the tan leather interior against the blue so much that we doubt anyone will want to keep it up for very long. In fact, this setup continues to look quite inviting because this modern classic has averaged the kind of mileage that tells you it hasn't been a lifelong commuter. The leather bucket seats hold you in place with the right feeling of elegance and performance. The gauges are big and easy to read... and because it's a true Porsche, the tachometer sits boldly in the center to remind you that the driving experience is this car's top priority. Like any good premium car, this comes loaded with power windows, power locks, power mirrors, AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, and power seats. There's a power convertible top to button everything up on rainy days, but the cold air conditioning means you can keep the roof down on any sunny day you want. Because this is a modern classic there are also great safety features like ABS, dual front airbags, and side airbags. Two trunks - one up front and one behind the mid-mounted engine - provide a far superior luggage capacity than most other super sleek roadsters.
The 2.7-liter flat-six motor is the true heart of the joy this Boxster provides. It lives just behind the rear seats to give you great balance on the road. It revs like a proper Porsche should, and makes that unmistakable exhaust note that only a horizontally opposed performance motor can. We even have a maintenance file showing good care. As a true performance machine, you get a five-speed manual transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy ZR-rated tires. Of course, since this one also has power steering and those dual trunks, this Porsche can be the ultimate weekend getaway machine as well.
This Boxster is an affordable indulgence that will keep its excitement for years to come. This German roadster even comes with maintenance records and the original owner's manual. It's time to grab a piece of the good life at a great price. Call today!!!
