1999 Porsche Boxster — Black on Grey, 5-Speed Manual, Clean Undercarriage Why This Car Is Special The 1999 Porsche Boxster sits at an interesting crossroads in automotive history. When Porsche introduced the Boxster for the 1997 model year, it was the car that arguably saved the company. By the mid-1990s, Porsche's finances were in serious trouble, and the 911 alone wasn't enough to sustain production. The Boxster brought in a new generation of buyers and gave the brand a volume model without compromising its engineering identity. Every Boxster that came out of Zuffenhausen in those early years carried real significance — not just as a product, but as a survival story. The 1999 model year represents the last full year of the original 2.5-liter Boxster before Porsche bumped the base engine to 2.7 liters for 2000 and refreshed the body for 2003. That makes 1997-1999 cars the purest expression of the original 986 design — lower, leaner, and lighter in character than what followed. The styling was penned by Harm Lagaay and draws a direct visual line back to the 1993 Boxster concept car shown at the Detroit Auto Show. Very few concept cars make it to production this faithfully. This particular 1999 Porsche Boxster is finished in black over a grey leather interior and equipped with the 5-speed manual transmission — the combination most Boxster enthusiasts seek out. The undercarriage photos show a car that has been on dry pavement its whole life. No rot, no patchwork, no evidence of neglect. That tells you a great deal about how this car was kept. Features List - 2.5L Flat-6 Mid-Engine - 5-Speed Manual Transmission - Black Soft Top - Grey Leather Bucket Seats - Porsche CDR-220 Radio - Automatic Climate Control - Factory 5-Spoke Silver Wheels - Michelin Tires - Integrated Roll Hoops - Power Windows - Tachometer - Dual Exhaust Tip - Clean Undercarriage Mechanical The 1999 Porsche Boxster uses a 2.5-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine mounted amidships — directly behind the seats and ahead of the rear axle. In the base Boxster, this engine produced 201 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers don't tell the whole story. The mid-engine layout gives this car a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and at a curb weight of roughly 2,750 pounds, the power-to-weight ratio translates into genuine driving engagement rather than straight-line performance on paper. The 5-speed manual gearbox is the right choice here. Porsche offered the Tiptronic automatic as an option, but the manual is what the chassis was designed around. The throws are short and precise, and the flat-six's usable powerband rewards drivers who keep it in the right gear rather than relying on torque to cover mistakes. Underneath this car, the photographs show dry, clean structure from front to rear. The suspension components, floorpan, and exhaust routing are all visible and free from the kind of corrosion that typically plagues cars that spent time in northern states or coastal environments. The Michelin tires indicate the car is wearing quality rubber appropriate to its performance capability. The undercarriage on a used Porsche is one of the most important things a buyer can inspect, and this one holds up well. One detail worth noting from the VIN structure: the tenth position confirms this is a 1999 model year car, and the plant code confirms Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen assembly — the same facility that builds the 911. The Boxster was not farmed out to a contract manufacturer. It was built by Porsche, on the Porsche line. Interior The grey leather interior on this 1999 Porsche Boxster is a classic pairing with the black exterior. Porsche used a relatively simple interior architecture in the 986-generation Boxster — two seats, a driver-focused instrument cluster, and a center console that keeps everything within reach. There is no wasted space and very little visual noise. The tachometer is the dominant instrument, which tells
