Tell us about your car
What we buy — your Boxster included
Most 2010-and-newer cars
Sedans, SUVs, and vans from any maker, clean or with fixable issues.
Japanese vehicles of any age
Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Subaru hold up in Southern California, and we price them that way.
Trucks of any age
Pickups are the top of our want list — working trucks, high-mileage trucks, Japanese trucks included.
Where the line is
We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
- No working key
- Blown engine
- Shot transmission
- Major structural damage
- Heavily stripped
- Trash-filled or severely neglected
The Boxster generations we buy
The Boxster launched for 1997 (986) as Porsche's mid-engine entry roadster, with 2.5L, later 2.7L, and 3.2L S flat-sixes. The 987 generation (2005-2012) sharpened the styling and added direct injection late in the run. The lighter 981 (2013-2016) was the last six-cylinder mainstream car before the 718 generation (2017-2025) switched to turbocharged fours, with a naturally aspirated 4.0L six returning in the GTS 4.0 and Spyder.
Convertible top condition and operation should be stated up front on any San Diego Boxster, since tops live hard in year-round sun. Manual cars, S models, and the later 4.0L cars each draw their own buyer, so name the exact version.
How selling your Boxster works here
01
Tell us about the car
Year, make, model, mileage, and where it sits. A VIN speeds things up but is not required to start, and the pickup address tells us which local run the car joins.
02
Answer 12 condition questions
Wheels, battery, key, whether it starts and drives, the catalytic converter, and the rest — the same checklist our buyer verifies in person, so the offer is built on the car you actually have.
03
Get one clear offer
We review every application by hand and send one offer, guaranteed for 7 days when the car matches its description. Accept it and pickup is free anywhere in San Diego County.
Common Boxster problems we still buy
IMS bearing failure (986 and early 987)
Like the 911, the 986 and early 987 Boxster carry an intermediate shaft bearing that can fail and take the engine with it. Cars without a documented upgraded bearing are priced for that risk, and owners often sell rather than pay for preventive engine work.
Bore scoring on S engines
The 3.2L and 3.4L S engines are documented for cylinder bore scoring that causes ticking, oil use, and eventually a rebuild conversation. Confirming it takes a borescope, and because a quality rebuild costs more than many cars are worth, owners commonly sell at diagnosis.
Air-oil separator failure
A failing air-oil separator produces dramatic white smoke on startup, rough running, and oil drawn into the intake, and it is one of the most common Boxster faults. The part is inexpensive but access is miserable, and repeat failures push owners toward selling the car.
Convertible top and rear window wear
Plastic rear windows crack and cloud on 986 cars, top fabrics tear at the folds, and the top's pushrod and transmission mechanism break parts with age. A top replacement rivals the value of an early car, so sellers pass the job to the next owner.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
Boxster seller questions
What Boxster years do you buy?
We buy Porsche Boxster vehicles across the 1997-2025 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage Boxster that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.
Can I sell a Boxster with a lien or a lost title?
Yes to both — name the lender or pick the title situation that matches yours in the form. Complicated paperwork is part of what we handle, and we explain the correct next step before scheduling.
What happens on pickup day?
Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted for your Boxster. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys — and the tow is free in San Diego County.
My Boxster has over 150,000 miles. Is that a problem?
High mileage alone does not disqualify a Boxster. If it starts, drives, and has a working key, report the mileage honestly in the form and we will price the whole car, not just the odometer.
