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.

Another clean 1984 Audi Coupe GT popped up, so I figured it was worth a look! This one is claimed to be a one-owner car, and I believe the color is Sapphire Blue again. Neat!
Here’s a Forest Green Metallic, Tannengrün, 986 Boxster S with just 51k miles. I think what makes this especially noteworthy is that someone not only special ordered the unique green color, which is relatively rare according to the PCA site Rennbow, they went all the way with green seats as well.

This 2003 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S is a standout among 996 models being adorned in a special order Carrera White on Savanna leather with sport seats. While some may raise an eyebrow at its Tiptronic transmission, the combination of its low mileage and exceptional aesthetics could make it a magnet for collectors.
Update 10.3.23: This post was originally published Nov 2023 but this Alpina B6 has recently been relisted on eBay from the same seller, now with a buy-it-now of $85,000. Links updated to the current auction. -dc
Alpina E30s have exploded in popularity over the past year; I never remember seeing quite so many of these small tuned 3s for sale on a regular basis. In part I’m so incredulous because so few were produced; with this B6 model for example, a scant 259 were made between late 1983 and mid-1986, with just over 1,100 total E30s modified in all forms by the legendary company. The B6 2.8/1 wasn’t as wild as the later big-motored 3.5, but it was still much more than adequate with 210 horsepower from the M30 coupled with lower suspension, bigger wheels and brakes. Alpina, of course, added their personal flare of colors, stripes and awesome interiors, and the B6 is one attractive small sedan in such form. It’s easy to forget that there was a time before the M3, and in early 1984 this was the fastest small German 4-seater you could buy. That would change in mid ’84 with the introduction of the B6 3.5, but today it’s still a very desirable and rare to find package.
