- I have been thinking about changing my Panamera and then started thinking about selling two cars and replacing them with one.
A few people showed interest via direct emails in buying this car so I thought I should make a video. Not sure if I will sell it - because I love it too much.
SOLD unfortunately and I still miss it.
That is my car. I have a 2008 model. Seal grey like the one shown. What a blast it is. Only 42,000 miles on it. I told my wife I want to be buried in it. Had a 2001 Guards Red also. Great quality and great fun!!!
Ok due to popular demand from the audience to keep the Boxster 987. The decision has been made and I am keeping it :)
Good work. I only just got my first Porsche, which was a 987 3.2 S, and it's far exceeded my expectations. Excellent car.
I have had my 05 S for 12 years and 142k miles, and I quickly realized what a mistake it would be to EVER sell my baby. Tuned to 310 hp, Bilsteins, LW flywheel, UD pulley, Softronic, Milltek, just sweet.
Shrink1061 update your taillights to led. And paint your rims black.
Good on you, I would have purchased it but I am in USA
Enhorabuena por tu decisión. El Porsche 987 es el último con ADN auténtico de la marca y lo suficientemente moderno como para ser cómodo. Por otro lado los expertos suelen coincidir en que el 3,2 es más agresivo que el 3,4, que resulta más burgués.
I had all kinds of cars from Ferrari to Porsche 911 to Aston Martin but the boxster 2005 I had then was my best ever car without a doubt. Thanks
Just came across this video. I now own this car and it’s still beautiful! It was clearly a well looked after Boxster and the colour to sample interior is what attracted me to it 3 years ago when I bought it. It’s now on 42,000 miles.
OMG I love that car so much and spent so much money to bring it to an excellent standard. I wish I hadn't sold it.
@@EthanFromLondon what car did u get?
Hi Ethan your boxster 987 is still alive and well, the condition is fantastic the car now lives in Northern Ireland
I just bought a 2006 987 S, also Seal Grey. I think so too, it is fenomenal.
I'm in the market for a 2006 S also. How many miles was yours and how is it holding up?
Hey Ethan, i live in Montreal Quebec Canada, I own a 987 triple black and i had the chance to drive a few 911 ( which are great ) but the handling of the 987 mid engine is as your say simply phenomenal!!! Don’t sell it keep it and drive it, no other car will give you the same feeling … by the way I’ll be in London this summer ( 2023) so if i happen to see you drive by ( chances are practically impossible. But who knows!) I’ll make sure you see me and we can have a chat! Cheers !
I’m glad you kept it. The little money you would receive is outweighed by the joy that’s clear on your face.
This is the best car test I have ever seen! Really! The driver knows the cars well, because he drives them every day and as one of the few he has so much experience.
Thank you.
Kuba Posturzyński thank you
Had 2,7 boxster for 8 yrs,in all that time just replaced battery,and rear bulb,now have 981,love both cars,if had money and room would have kept my 987,had just 47000 miles when i traded it in for my 981.
The 987s &981s ‘The Porche’ quick, balanced, and practical…. awesome …
Hi Ethan, really enjoyed the video, and for someone considering buying a 987, its very informative, your utter enjoyment of the whole owning and driving experience is a pleasure to watch ( I`ve watched the video about 8 times ). I was looking to buy my first 987 gen 1, and the video helped me immensely , and I`ve now purchased a 2005 3.2 manual in seal grey, and cant stop smiling. All the best.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Every time you hit the gas on that thing, you look like a cat that just got the cream !!! Great video quality, clarity and sound. Job well done. I have a 2006 Cayman S myself, and know exactly how you feel emotionally about that car.
Jimmy M I also have a 2006 Cayman S. It is without doubt the best car that I have ever owned or driven. Even the most mundane journey is a pleasure, and the amount of shopping I load it with always surprises people.
Great video!
I just got my 987 S two weeks ago. I think you should never sell it ! The best car I ever had... ❤️. Perfect sound even with normal exhaust ! 👌
Why on earth would you have a carport without a roof ?😅
I have an 07 Boxster S with a 3.4 engine and love it but was thinking about moving to an Alfa 4c. Decided to keep the Boxster in the end. This is my 2nd Boxster. I had an 02 986 S which had a 3.2 which was also a great car.
Thinking of buying one. I haven't got your kind of money, but it is affordable. Thinking 987 3.2 Boxster S. Currently have a BMW 325 convertible, and it is a brilliant car, but I don't need 4 seats! ;-)
Nice sound from the boxster .
Don't ever sell it it's beautiful and will be very collectable. I totally agree with you and prefer the Boxster to a 911.
i thing that it is not collectable because there are too many pieces of this model around in the world, and secondly is an ''entry level'' porsche, but very nice
Hi Ethan, yours is by far the best 987 review video. I bought a 07' Boxster 987 S a couple of weeks back and can't stop smiling! Your videos encouraged me to get into the Porsche world, so thank you.
Quick one, could you please share where did you get your parrot system installed? Thank you! All the best. Francisco
Thanks for the feedback. I can’t remember since it’s been so long but there is a place I highly recommend in London called Sextons which is in South West London
@@EthanFromLondon Thank you!
nice color interior...very very nice
Thanks for this special kind of car videos.
hey old chap..well its 2020 now
so i got both a panamera and the boxter s
the funny thing is i drive the boxster wayy more than the other.
boxter is more fun to drive indeed.
dam man!!.....what year is it ...they always seem to 4get to mention that.
Damn it! I sold my 2006 987 two years ago . It only had 60K km on it, Regret!! :( BTW, nice watch!!
Thanks Ethan. Great video. Couldn't agree with you more. Better than money in the bank. Boxsters (Porches) are bargains at any price.
You are a good driver!
What rims are those they look like regular 911’s?
Sorry in what year is that car? I’m just trying to see if my 2000 would fit those rims
just bought mine, today
Ethan...may I please ask what you ended up doing ...I hope you kept it .
Simon Begnor yes. Please see the comment below yours
You're underselling it, you forgot to say it's got cruise!
If you've had good times in it, you'll kick yourself once it's gone. The 987 is much more real world/keep your licence than with a 911, & those 6 pot engines will only get more desirable over time with all these turbo's taking over. Best of luck whatever you do.
Great car. 986 after 2002 had glass rear window too.
Lovely example, you've really looked after it 👍 Sounds like you've not finished enjoying it yet.
Nice one mate :-) I'm getting mine in a couple of days and I can't wait. I can't quite see, but is that a Tudor Black Bay you're wearing?
Yes 👍
Subscribed after watch this video and watch some video about your lifestyle, which soooo Cool. so, what happen after 2 years, still keep it? BTY, i also own a Boxster S with manual gear as well. Cheers~
Thanks for the sub!
I’m in the marking looking for a Porsche Boxster S 2005 do you have any advise for a 23 year old? What year is your Boxster?
I have a video advising what to look for when buying a Porsche. You can have a look. My key recommendation would be to check if you are really able to afford a Porsche or just going to end up buying a car that is very cheap and will have several problems.
Great video👍🏼
It is throttle by wire
Keep it.
Maybe I missed it - why is the steering wheel black?
Also - Seats have the fold switches on the opposite sides.
Just curious.
What color exterior is that?
Seal Grey
id be interested in the boxster :-)
Didnt watch the video yet but I want it - I want it...
Now, after watching. Dont sell it unless I contact you again ;).
The car has no electric accelerator.
Dream car. Really.
MGdrive sure lol
Keep It! Had a 987 S with the 3.4 And one of the best cars And Porsches I ever had.
Nice watch 👌🏼
Keep it!
Beautiful 987
It’s so lovely
Ethan, sell immediatelly make other people happy :)
OMG your interior. Let me have it.
ha ha thanks. I no longer have it as I gave it to a friend.
Should of kept the 991!
Maybe you should sell it and buy a classic 911? :) I think a 911/964/993 would fit you. It could be your "classy car"
Wow!
Germany lost the war, but gained market share. GB won the war, but lost its car industry.
don't do it. keep it.
Make up your own mind
Hi Ethan, do you still own the Tudor Black Bay Bronze? If you do, has it patinated much over the years?
Sold it ages ago, but was very nice just a little too big for my wrist.
