GarageScout Take

The replacement 2.7-liter flat-six, installed with a reported IMS service at 48,000 miles, gives this manual Boxster S a distinct mechanical history. Mileage sits near the high end for this generation. The CARFAX damage entry from October 2011, apparent prior refinishing, noted patina, and non-original engine are the trade-offs.

Strengths

  • Boxster S with the optional Sport Package and six-speed manual transmission.
  • Replacement 2.7-liter engine installed in 2023, with approximately 50,000 miles and a reported IMS bearing service at 48,000 miles.
  • CARFAX report includes 11 service history entries.
  • Replacement 16-inch 993 Cup wheels and optional xenon headlights with washers.

Watch For

  • CARFAX reports damage in October 2011.
  • The seller states the vehicle appears to have been previously refinished.
  • Patina is noted.
  • The engine is a replacement unit rather than the original engine.
