This 2012 Porsche Boxster S Black Edition is #836 of 987 examples produced, all of which were finished in black with a black convertible top over black leather. Power comes from a 3.4-liter flat-six mated to a six-speed manual transaxle, and equipment includes a navigation system, heated seats, rear parking sensors, a Bose sound system, adaptive xenon headlights, and 19” alloy wheels. The car was ordered with European delivery and first registered in Virginia, and it spent time in Maryland prior to the seller’s acquisition in 2020. It now has 55k miles, and service during current ownership included an oil change and replacement of the battery, left-front tire pressure sensor, tires, and clutch components.
The exterior is finished in black with a matching power-retractable soft top that features Black Edition branding. Additional exterior equipment includes black-painted trim, a wind deflector, an automatically deploying rear spoiler, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, central exhaust outlets with dark-colored finishers, adaptive xenon headlights with washers, and twin roll hoops. Records indicate a silicone treatment and preservative agent were applied to the soft top in May 2020 by Porsche of Arlington, and the seller notes stone chips on the front bumper, hood, and rear fenders ahead of the wheels.
Factory 19” wheels are finished in black with silver lip accents and feature colored Porsche-crest center caps, and Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 235/35 up front and 265/35 out back were mounted in May 2020. Stopping power is provided by red-finished and Porsche-branded calipers with cross-drilled rotors at each corner. Records indicate an alignment was also performed in May 2020, at which time the left-front tire-pressure monitoring sensor was replaced.
The cabin features heated seats trimmed in black leather with debossed Porsche logos on the headrests, an optional short shifter, and amenities include automatic climate control, cruise control, and Porsche Communication Management with navigation, a Bose sound system, and Bluetooth and satellite radio capabilities. The seller notes scuffs on the Black Edition-script door sill trim.
The multifunction and heated steering wheel frames a 190-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer indicates just over 55k miles.
The 3.4-liter flat-six is mounted ahead of the rear cargo area and was factory rated at 320 horsepower, an increase of 10 horsepower over the standard Boxster S. The oil was changed upon the seller’s acquisition in May 2020, and the battery was reportedly replaced in May 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. Records indicate the clutch disc, dual-mass flywheel, pressure plate, and release bearing were replaced in May 2020.
