  • 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.

      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.

    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.

    • @EthanFromLondon

    @sergegodbout1874 Год назад

    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 !

  • @marksachse9027

    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.

    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.

    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! ;-)

      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

    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.

    • @EthanFromLondon
      @EthanFromLondon  5 лет назад +2

      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.
