Ten Used Porsche Models You Can Afford
10. Porsche Boxster
The fact that it’s still with us speaks volumes about the Boxster’s popularity.
The original 2,480cc Boxster, released in 1996, made 204hp, and the engine grew to 2,867cc and 220hp in August 1999.
But it wasn’t until Porsche released the powerful 3,179cc, 252hp Boxster S, also in 1999, that performance took a big jump and the Boxster began to steal the sales from the 911.
The car’s success is good news for anyone wanting to buy a used example – there are plenty on the market to choose from.
Good to drive with very high limits of adhesion, used open-air Boxster S models can be found for $10,000 to $20,000 – not a bad price for an ultra-reliable 149mph sports car you can use every day.
Yes, they’re common, but we’re talking about a real sports car that definitely looks like a Porsche for the price of a Dodge.
Before you buy one, though, look into RMS (rear main seal) failure, which has been known to cause a few problems.
Plan on some corrective action if the previous owner hasn’t already done so, then sit back and celebrate your new-found membership of the Porsche community!
