2009 PORSCHE BOXSTER*
VIN: WPOCA29849U710555
41,900 MILES

“ [The 2009 Boxster] isn’t an all-new car—although Porsche calls it the second generation of the 987 chassis—so the superb underpinnings that have made the Boxster a multiple 10 Best Cars award winner remain, albeit tweaked for 2009. The precise and talkative steering has been lightened a smidge. The already impeccable ride quality and wheel control are enhanced by increased comfort due to softer spring mounts. Tenacious grip and handling are even better, owing to retuned rear shocks and springs....These alterations aren’t groundbreaking on their own, but taken together, they make for a more capable, cohesive Boxster, something we might have thought impossible before our drive.” –-Erik Johnson, Car and Driver

With its timeless appeal, performance, and emotional attraction, Porsche’s Boxster roadster has always been compelling. This 2009 version of the mid-engine roadster, produced during the first year of the updated and upgraded 987.2 generation (with the new 9A1 engine and no IMS bearing), clearly ticks the right boxes. Its radiant Ruby Red paint—2 of 5 points on Porsche’s ‘Rennbow’ color-rarity scale— has been freshly detailed and is in superb condition. The contrasting black convertible top and interior also reflect the care this vehicle has been given. More than just esthetically compelling, though, this car drives and handles beautifully, like a well-maintained Porsche should—the Boxster is a joy to drive.
The Boxster’s mid-engine layout, with the engine positioned immediately behind the driver, achieves a near-perfect balance, giving the car its signature poise through every corner. Porsche’s precision engineered 2.9-liter, flat-six engine delivers an exhilarating 255 HP at 7,200 RPM. Paired with a slick-shifting 6-speed manual transmission, it gives a raw, connected driving experience that’s increasingly rare in today’s world. Inside, you're greeted by driver-focused comfort—supple leather, clean lines, and Porsche’s unmistakable attention to detail. Its power-retractable soft top, which is in excellent condition, lets you go from coupe to convertible in just 12 seconds, whether at rest or at speeds up to 30 MPH. When the sun's out, your Boxster should be, too.
Onboard features include a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, foglamps, heated windshield-washer nozzles, trip computer, cruise control, and a four-speaker AM-FM-CD sound system with 5-inch display screen. Additional options include the Sport Chrono package with normal/sport driving modes and dash mounted clock-timer, 18-inch Boxster S wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (date coded 2018 rear, 2020 front), body color-matched roll bars, and xenon headlights.
The car has been driven approximately 14,500 of its 41,900 total miles since being acquired by the current owner in 2018. All Porsche-recommended 40,000-mile services were completed late last year. Since then, the engine compartment has been thoroughly cleaned and detailed, the battery replaced in May 2025, and a replacement windshield installed as a result of being struck by a stone. An LN Engineering spin-on oil filter adaptor has also been installed during current ownership in 2018.
This 2009 Boxster is a modern classic—low, wide, agile, and still as thrilling to drive today as it was when it rolled off the showroom floor. Whether you're carving curves on back roads or cruising scenic highways, this car delivers the kind of grin-per-mile that only a Porsche can. With a clean Michigan title, the car is offered with its original owner’s manual, two keys, and partial service maintenance records.
Disclosure: Minor left-front body repair was reported in 2020 from an encounter with a deer.
