Why You Should Buy a 986 Porsche Boxster Today

2003-2004 Boxster S 3.2 (aka 986 S Mk II)

If you’re reading this article, we have at least one thing in common: We love Porsches. Another thing we may have in common is that we want to get our hands on a Porsche that is not only fun but is also quick, fairly reliable, and affordable. Let’s face it, not all of us have 70 grand to burn on a brand-new 718 Boxster, let alone a 911 but this is where the Porsche 986 shines. Because you can still get a lot of value-for-money sports cars without spending a small fortune. 

So if you’re in the market for that classic Porsche styling paired with a “purist” driving experience, then the Porsche 986 is an excellent option. Still, like any other used car, it has its quirks. But with proper research and diligence, it can be a compelling choice. So if you were already considering pulling the trigger on a 986, we’ll help you make up your mind today.
