1998 Porsche Boxster (986)
A 1998 Porsche Boxster (986) two-door convertible finished in Ocean Blue Metallic. Rear-wheel drive configuration powered by a 2.5-litre naturally aspirated flat-six petrol engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Odometer indicating 85,025 kilometres. Seating for two. Fresh Japanese import supplied with NSW Compliance Certificate.
Description / Overview:
The 986 Boxster is the first-generation mid-engine roadster from Porsche and this one represents a tidy, lower-kilometre entry point into the brand. Paint is in good condition overall, the Ocean Blue Metallic finish has retained depth and gloss consistent with careful storage. Panel alignment is consistent, no evidence of collision repair, and the soft top shows no tears, sagging, or damage when raised. The rear glass window is clear, not the cloudy plastic of earlier examples.
Interior is grey leather in good shape, driver's bolster shows mild wear, cabin is clean without water damage. The 5-speed manual gearbox is confirmed. One concern to flag: the airbag warning light was visible illuminated on the instrument cluster during the key-on photo. This is a common 986 fault (often a seat belt pretensioner or squib issue) but requires diagnosis before auction. NSW Compliance Certificate is included, confirming it has been locally complied. An aftermarket double-DIN touchscreen head unit replaces the original stereo. No engine bay photos were provided by the vendor, which is a gap for a car with the M96 engine.
Current bid of $5,800 sits well below the published guide of $10,000-$15,000. 85,025 km is low for the age. Inspection at Villawood NSW is recommended. Cross-reference with Japanese auction history if available.
