Mix-adjusted median +21% vs the prior 3 months on 16 recent and 17 earlier USD online-auction sales (80% range -1% to +29%). Adjusted for trim and model year so a run of pricier cars doesn't look like a rising market.
Raw median $34,375 in the last 3 months vs $28,000 before (+23%; median model year 2006 → 2007).
12-month trend: +49% per year (mix-adjusted, 51 sales).

Based on a sample of public auction results for the Porsche 987 Boxster S, not all sales. A rough read of recent price direction, not financial or investment advice and not an appraisal. How the market signal works.
986 and early 987 Boxsters share IMS bearing and bore-scoring concerns with the 996/997.1, so ask about an IMS upgrade. Check convertible-top operation, rear window, and coolant tank condition. Boxster S and later 981 cars carry clear premiums over base 986s.
In our last 12 months of 51 U.S.-dollar auction sales, the median sold price for a Porsche 987 Boxster S was $30,550, with the middle half between $23,800 and $36,500 and sales from $10,500 to $52,000. Condition, mileage and options move any one car; this is a market snapshot, not an appraisal.
