2000 | Porsche Boxster S

The perfect “Porsche start-up”

Who, as a car enthusiast, doesn’t dream of owning a Porsche one day? But when is the right time? When you’re young and looking at one but can’t afford it, or when other things like a house are more important?

There seem to be plenty of reasons not to buy a Porsche. It seems. Because sometimes one comes onto the market that has everything an enthusiast who doesn’t want to spend a fortune desires. A Porsche that doesn’t belong on the “marketplaces.” A car that comes from a true enthusiast and also needs to end up with someone who has the same good intentions. It needs to come from someone who has cherished the car and enjoyed it with their passenger during beautiful trips at home and abroad.

But… it has to be a car that a: fits within a reasonable budget, b: it has to look perfect, and c: it has to be superbly maintained. Then it is very hard to find one, as we can tell you from our extensive experience with Boxsters. But hard to find doesn’t mean it’s not for sale. Rare, just like a black pearl. And we happen to have a knack for finding rare cars and have found this Black Pearl for you.

We’re talking about a Porsche Boxster from 2000 in the highly sought-after (and at the time top model) 3.2 S version. Delivered in Germany, the car was registered in the Netherlands on August 20, 2004, and has had two owners since. Owners who used the beautiful convertible solely as a second car, hence the mere 102.699 km on the odometer. An exceptionally well-maintained example that will provide years of enjoyment. You’ll have to appreciate the beautiful exterior, where the black, completely undamaged paint (the nose of the car has been repainted because of stone chips, the rest shows still its first paint) plays a prominent role, complemented by the equally beautiful 18-inch GT-3 rims fitted with expensive Michelin Pilot Sport tires. And let’s not forget the impeccable black leather interior. An interior that lacks virtually nothing to please the sporty driver. Although storage space is practically nonexistent, but that’s normal for every mid-engined car. This, however, is offset by the very spacious trunks in the front and rear, so a holiday trip with several bags is certainly possible. The technology should also appeal to you, as the mid-mounted 3.2-liter flat-six engine delivers an impressive 252 hp, controlled by a very smooth-shifting 6-speed gearbox. We could write entire epistles about how incredibly well the Boxster handles and how easy it is to operate, but you really have to experience it for yourself.

So, if you’re ready for a “start-up” Porsche that’s exceptionally well-maintained, holds its value, and brings you tons of fun, you know where to find us.
