Used Porsche Boxster Models
The Boxster was most recently updated for the 2009 model year. The base model's manual transmission also became a six-speed. The Boxster Spyder was introduced for 2011.
Originally, the base Boxster 2.7-liter six-cylinder produced 228 hp, and the Boxster S model's bigger flat-6 displaced 3.2 liters with an output of 258 horses. For 2007, the 2.7-liter was upgraded to pump out 245 hp and the Boxster S gained a 3.4-liter engine with 295 hp. The original Boxster debuted for the 1997 model year.
The first-generation Porsche Boxster came with a power-operated soft top and a 201-hp, 2.5-liter flat-6 engine. The Boxster S featured 250 hp, larger wheels and brakes and a more stiffly tuned suspension. For 2004, Porsche increased the power output of both engines slightly.
Though reasonable for a luxury-sports roadster, the Porsche Boxster has been consistently among the most expensive cars in its class.
