Tweedehands Porsche Boxster in Dubai

The Boxster is the Porsche with the engine behind the seats, and it is the one that people who drive for the sake of driving tend to end up in. Two seats, two boots, a roof that folds in seconds, and a balance the 911 cannot match at any price. A used Porsche Boxster in Dubai costs a fraction of a 911 of the same age, and on the Hatta road on a clear evening nothing in the range is more fun. The cars listed on OneClickDrive come from separate sellers, private and showroom, so the mix of years, versions and origins is the whole Dubai market in one place.

The name has covered four cars. The original ran from the late nineties to 2004, the second generation to 2012, the third to 2016, and the 718 Boxster from 2017 onwards, which is most of the stock here. A second hand Porsche Boxster from each generation drives differently and needs different checks, and the 718 splits into two very different engines, so the year and the badge on the listing are the first things to read.

Porsche Boxster price in Dubai and what moves it

The Porsche Boxster price in Dubai runs from the older cars at the bottom of the market to a late 718 GTS or Spyder near the top, and inside that range four things move a car: the generation, the version, the distance, and where the car came from. In Porsche Boxster used Dubai listings a GCC supplied car with an agency history sits above an import of the same year, and the Porsche 718 Boxster price in Dubai for a flat six GTS sits well above a four cylinder base car, because the six is the engine most buyers want.

Specification does the rest. Sport Chrono, the PDK gearbox, the sports exhaust, PASM suspension and the better seats each add to what a seller can ask, and colour matters more on this car than on most. The figure in the heading above is whatever the cheapest listed Boxster costs this week, so use it as a floor and read the Porsche Boxster price Dubai sellers actually ask off the individual cars.

Boxster, S, GTS and Spyder across four generations: which used Boxster to buy

The first two generations carry a naturally aspirated flat six in every version, the base car with the smaller engine and the S with the bigger one. The third generation, from 2012, is the modern car: longer wheelbase, electric steering, a far better cabin, a Porsche Boxster GTS for sale from 2015 onwards, and a 3.8 litre Spyder in 2016 that is now a collector's car. These are the cars if the sound of a flat six matters more than the year.

The 718 Boxster changed the engine. From 2017 the base car and the S carry a turbocharged flat four, quicker than the sixes they replaced and much less musical, which is why a second hand Porsche 718 Boxster S is priced only a little above the base car. In 2020 the GTS 4.0 brought back a naturally aspirated flat six, the 718 Spyder carries a stronger version of it, and those two are what used Porsche 718 Boxster Dubai buyers want. A used Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 is the keeper, a 718 base car is the sensible daily, and a Porsche Boxster Spyder for sale from either generation is a different conversation about price.

Manual or PDK is a real choice here. The manual is rarer and worth more to the buyer who wants it, and the PDK is faster, easier in traffic and what most GCC cars were ordered with. Decide before you read listings.

Imports, GCC cars and Apple CarPlay: reading a Boxster listing

A large share of the Boxster used Dubai market is imported, and each listing says where from. Korean, Japanese and European cars arrive because the Boxster is cheap to ship, and a good import is a good car. The differences are the cooling and air conditioning specification, set for this heat on a GCC car, the service history, which the agency here can read on a GCC car and cannot always on an import, and resale, which favours the GCC car. Price an import accordingly and ask for the customs file before you view.

Porsche Boxster Apple CarPlay in Dubai is the most searched question about this car. The 718 from 2017 has CarPlay built into the Porsche Communication Management system as standard, and a 718 from 2020 onwards can run it wirelessly. The third generation and everything older do not have it from the factory, and the fix is a retrofit module or an aftermarket head unit fitted by a specialist in Al Quoz. If CarPlay matters, start at the 718.

Running costs and resale on a second hand Boxster

A Boxster costs what a Porsche costs to service and less than a 911 to insure, fuel and shoe. Tyres are the recurring bill: staggered sizes, the rears go first, and a hard driven car needs a set every two summers. Roof cables and the roof motor are the one Boxster specific expense.

Porsche Boxster second hand values hold better than most convertibles at this price. The flat six cars are rising, the four cylinder 718s are flat, and a manual GTS or a Spyder is the safest car in the range to own for value. Keep the history complete and the car standard, and it will sell in a week when the time comes.

Why buy a used Porsche Boxster with OneClickDrive

On this car the details are the deal, and the used car Porsche Boxster listings here carry them: year, version, gearbox, origin, distance, colour and photographs of the actual car, roof up and down. Every used Porsche Boxster for sale in Dubai listed here names its seller, private or showroom, and your enquiry goes to that person. OneClickDrive takes no commission from either side, so the asking figure is the seller's own and the point you negotiate from.

Cars that have been through an inspection say so, and cars carrying any warranty, from Porsche or from a dealer, say that too. An estimated monthly EMI sits under each price. Finance applications run through our Emirates NBD arrangement, and buyers who meet the bank's eligibility rules usually have an answer within 24 hours. A private owner who sells the car later lists it here at no cost, with no commission on the resale.

Where to find a Boxster for sale in Dubai and across the UAE

The Porsche Boxster for sale Dubai stock sits with the Porsche specialists in Al Quoz, who buy imports in batches and know the cars, with the luxury showrooms along Sheikh Zayed Road, and with private owners, who are the source of the best GCC cars with complete files. A used Porsche 718 Boxster for sale in Dubai is the deepest part of that stock. The agency's approved used programme rarely has a Boxster, but when it does the car comes with a warranty and a checked history.

Look at the whole country. A Boxster for sale in UAE listings outside Dubai appears here with the emirate shown, and a used Porsche Boxster for sale in UAE from Abu Dhabi is often an agency supplied car with low distance. Every Porsche 718 Boxster used car for sale in UAE that our sellers hold sits on the same list, and used Porsche 718 Boxster UAE stock is short enough to read in full in an evening, since a used Porsche 718 Boxster for sale UAE wide is rarely more than two hours away. Reading every used Boxster Dubai entry before viewing any tells you what a fair asking price is.

If the Boxster is the right idea but the wrong body, the same sellers list the Porsche Cayman, the coupe version of the same car, and the Porsche 911 for the buyer who wants the rear engine. Every used Porsche in Dubai, Boxster or not, is on the brand hub.

What to check on a used Porsche Boxster before you pay

Start with the roof, because it lives hardest in this climate.

• Cycle it three or four times and watch both sides move together, listen for a motor labouring, and check the rear window and the seals along the top of the screen for cracking and for water marks in the carpet behind the seats.
• A roof that hesitates is a cable or a motor, and neither is cheap.
• Then run the air conditioning at idle in the sun and make sure it holds. Ask for an over rev report.
• Every Porsche of this era records how often the engine has been taken past its limit, any specialist can print it in minutes, and it is the most honest document you will get on a car that may have seen a track.
• On the older flat six cars ask about the intermediate shaft bearing and whether it has been replaced or upgraded, and on the second generation S listen for a ticking that suggests bore scoring, the expensive fault on that engine.
• On a 718 four cylinder, check the turbo comes in cleanly from low revs. Then the ordinary checks.
• Take the chassis number from the Mulkiya and run a history report for accident repair and registered finance.
• Read the service history against the odometer for the annual stamps, the gearbox oil on a PDK car and the brake fluid changes.
• Check the tyres are a matched set with recent date codes, and drive the car with the roof down and the radio off, listening for knocks from the front suspension.
• If the listing does not already carry an inspection report, have a Porsche specialist or an RTA testing centre look at the car before any money changes hands, with the electronic scan and the over rev report in the same visit.

Finance, EMI and buying a used Boxster with no down payment

Banks lend readily on a 718, and the EMI under each listing gives you a planning figure before you apply. An older flat six car may be past the age a bank accepts at the end of the term, so those are cash purchases. Apply to Emirates NBD before you view, because a manual GTS or a clean Spyder does not sit on the market for long.

Some showrooms can put a purchase together with no down payment on selected cars through a bank they work with, and it is never written on the listing, so ask and get the terms in writing. No private seller can do the same.

Paperwork to transfer a Boxster into your name

The RTA needs the original Mulkiya, identification for buyer and seller, an insurance policy already running in your name and all fines on the car paid, then an appointment to move the registration. On an import, confirm the customs file is complete before you agree a price, because the RTA will not transfer a car whose entry paperwork is open. And on a car with a loan against it, the seller's bank issues a liability letter with the balance, the balance is settled, and a clearance certificate follows, so ask about it early. Insurance on a two seat convertible is priced higher than on a saloon of the same value, so quote it first.
