9000$ and 194,000 miles. I paid £1900 and mine had done 92,000 miles.  :)
Smiles per miles, its superb value.  :y
The 987 in the video is more refined and modern. The 986 which I have is more of an old fashioned raw sports car, which I personally prefer.

As I have said before.....I took a test drive in a early (2000, I think) Boxster 2.7.

Made a lovely noise and handled like a dream. I don't think it even had air con.

Proper drivers car if you can get past the ungainly looks and 'hairdresser' image. ::) ::) ::)

Couldnt give a toss about image, and it looks a hell of a lot better with the roof down.
Our finance director at work was admiring it yesterday. He drives a new electric or hybrid Porsche of some description.
It probably cost 50 times what I paid for mine.  ;D

For the £1900 you paid you can't go wrong. :y

All you need is a 22 year old 'dolly bird' in the passenger seat. ;)
