I’d rather have an OPC warranty on a 9yr old car than a small dealer warranty that won’t provide the same level of cover. Even more at that price, it’s getting to the age when stuff needs replacing not matter what the history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenman Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 I paid that for my 15 Boxster S with 33k miles… …. …… ….. ….. ….. ….. Of course that was back in 2016 when it was 6 months old and had 6k miles on the clock!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark-yorkshire Posted June 17, 2021 Report Share Posted June 17, 2021 718 prices seem pretty strong. Trade offering me more for My 718T Boxster than I paid for it last October. Even WBAC are offering nearly what I paid for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm E Box Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 In August 2016 I bought my 2013/13 2.7 Boxster for £35000 from Leeds OPC. Currently on Autotrader there is a 62 plate 2.7 Boxster for £35000 from a Porsche Indy. My current 718 is £2000 more on WBAC than I paid for it 18 months ago. Trouble is every thing else has gone up too and when it is change time in 2 or 3 years you can guarantee prices will have tanked leaving loads of people in negative equity.

bandit_287 Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 There’s another on Harbour cars, reasonably specc’d Boxster S, 16 plate low mileage for £46,500. Supply and demand of course but I think they’re over inflated prices, it’ll be interesting to see if they’ve still got their two Boxsters in a month or two and what price they’re at then.

wolverinemac Posted June 18, 2021 Report Share Posted June 18, 2021 The price of everything at the moment is over inflated. I sold my house in March for £550K and that had broken the ceiling of prices in the road. Last week a house 3 down from where my house was has just gone on the market for £625K. I purchased my house for £597K in March and next door was told theirs was worth £660K (it has an extra bedroom) she took her chances and listed it for £750K and 2 days later had an offer for £760K with no chain. To say she is pleased is an understatement. Lucky for her she is downsizing. Don't get me started on the price of basic materials and how they have gone up by at least 60-70%.

Don't get me started on the price of basic materials and how they have gone up by at least 60-70%. not a great time to be doing building work - our builder was telling me of the increase in prices of timber by up to 50% and couldn't get cement for a while so prices rising there. Perhaps just move again and take a sneaky £150k profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxsteraficionado Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 I paid 11k for my 2008 987, now i can see other cars with 40k more miles on it selling for 11k Just weird Was thinking if it was worth it to change the suspension and do the bushes, now it feels it might add value or at least hold it, so im bitting the bullet.

Madlil Posted June 21, 2021 Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 I have decided to take advantage of the sky high prices on 981's and am selling mine. Feel a bit sad really as it is a great car, but the offer gives me the opportunity to get into a newer M4 convertible for similar money. I have quite a few nice bits to sell once the car has gone - Sport steering wheel trimmed in alcantara with paddles, Joyetech Apple car play kit, GTS rear lights, LED side indicators, full wind deflector kit. I will post them all in the for sale section in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, that seems a shame, but good luck with the sale anyway mate Prices on the 981 do seem to have gone a bit crazy lately, but I honestly can't think of another car I would like to own more than mine (also, it is extra special to me, for obvious reasons to anyone who followed my story on here).

Thank you! I was worried about a few bits on the 981 - the air con rads need changing in the next 12 months and I am also getting a bit of fraying on the stitching on the hood where it creases. With these things playing on my mind and knowing how much I could get for the car I decided to bite the bullet. I am sure I will be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
