First things first: It’s a base model Boxster, in a pedestrian color combo, and it still only has a 4 cylinder flat-four turbo. If your puritan eyes are already bleeding I understand. But if you’re curious and not easily offended, you might be interested to hear it’s a one owner car and a 6 speed manual. But the best part is the seller is asking just under $36k buy-it-now on eBay. I find that combination pretty interesting suddenly.

From the seller:
This right here is an incredible package. Light, nimble, and very powerful.
This stunning – one owner – 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster – with a rare 6 speed manual gearbox has been recently serviced and is ready for its next care taker.
Incredible value here.
The convertible top works flawlessly. Body and interior are in excellent condition. Needs nothing.

If you’ve made it this far you’ve discovered the car has over 92k miles and a minor accident reported in 2021. Suddenly the math adds up. But when you consider what else you can buy for the money, I’d sure give this a look if I was in the area.
I’d love to hear from folks who have experience with these early 718’s even if it’s considered blasphemous on these pages. What did you like? What did hate? What else would you consider of this era and price range?

Just saying from this older dudes perspective, I see no blasphemy anywhere. If colors are what you are referencing, no problem here. I am not looking closely at the listing to pick it apart, not on price or mileage, but I know nothing other that I would like it to drive it. Keep bringing listing like this, they seem great to me. I like a wolf in sheep’s clothing, but I know that is considered odd to many readers.
