The 2004 Porsche Boxster S represents the pinnacle of the original 986 generation and is widely regarded by enthusiasts as the most refined and desirable version of Porsche’s groundbreaking mid-engine roadster. As the final model year before the introduction of the redesigned 987, the 2004 Boxster S benefited from nearly a decade of continuous refinement, delivering exceptional build quality, outstanding balance, and one of the purest analog driving experiences Porsche has ever offered. Powered by Porsche’s legendary 3.2-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine producing 258 horsepower, the Boxster S combines exhilarating performance with remarkable precision. Its mid-engine chassis provides nearly perfect weight distribution, resulting in outstanding handling characteristics, razor-sharp steering response, and confidence-inspiring cornering that continue to impress enthusiasts and automotive journalists alike. Lightweight construction, hydraulic steering, and an unmistakable flat-six exhaust note make every drive a memorable experience, whether carving through canyon roads or enjoying a relaxed cruise with the top down. This particular Boxster S is a Carfax Certified three-owner example with damage reported in 2005. Based on our inspection, the repair appears to have been completed to an exceptionally high standard. Our paint meter indicates factory paint on every panel with the exception of the driver’s-side rear quarter panel, which shows evidence of a professional refinish. The vehicle presents beautifully both cosmetically and mechanically, reflecting years of attentive ownership and meticulous care. One of the most significant advantages of this Boxster is its documented IMS bearing replacement. The Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing is one of the most discussed maintenance items on early water-cooled Porsches, and replacing it is considered a major preventative service. With an approximate value of $4,000, this important upgrade provides added confidence and peace of mind for the next owner while making this example especially desirable among knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts. The car is also very well equipped with several sought-after factory options, including striking white instrument gauges, desirable optional alloy wheels, and supportive sport seats that perfectly complement the Boxster S’s driver-focused cockpit. Completing the package is a nearly new set of Michelin tires measuring approximately 10/32 of tread depth at all four corners, allowing the next owner to enjoy this Porsche immediately without concern for future tire replacement. As appreciation continues to grow for clean, well-maintained 986-generation Boxsters, examples such as this—with low mileage, documented IMS service, tasteful factory options, and exceptional overall condition—are becoming increasingly difficult to find. It represents an outstanding opportunity to own one of Porsche’s most rewarding and balanced sports cars at a compelling value.
