The Pros And Cons Of Buying A Used Porsche Boxster/Cayman (987)

While the Type 987 is a desired sports car on the used market, there are a few things to note before jumping into one

If you're in the market for a used 987 Boxster or Cayman, here are some of the things to keep in mind

The 987 is a champion of retaining value, even after 20 years

Similar to other Porsche sports cars, the 987 shares 2/3 of its architecture with the 997

The 987 platform is, actually, an evolution of the 9x6 platform, underpinning the 986 Boxster

Limited-edition models like the Porsche Cayman S Design Edition 1 are particularly valuable

The 987 Boxster S RS60 is an homage to a very special 550 Spyder

Some of the special-edition 987s are limtieed to just 250 examples

987 is the last mid-engine Porsche with hydraulic steering

This is also when Porsche introduced PASM

Early models, equipped with the M96 and M97 engines share many of the 986 and 996 issues

The 987 interior is vastly superior to the 986 generation

Modified examples or those without proper service records warrant caution
