Boxster RS60 Spyder Roadster (2008)

Can you afford a 2008 Porsche Boxster Boxster RS60 Spyder Roadster?

The 2008 Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder Roadster 987.1 is a limited-edition tribute to Porsche's 1960 Targa Florio victory. Journalists lauded its enhanced performance, unique styling cues like the GT Silver Metallic paint and red leather interior, and stiffer suspension for a more engaging drive. It's famous for its exclusivity and driver-focused experience, offering a purer, more connected feel than standard Boxsters. Today, it remains an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking a collectible modern classic, ideal for spirited weekend drives or as a prized addition to a curated garage.

The 2008 Porsche Boxster RS60 Spyder, a 987.1 generation, generally boasts solid reliability for a sports car. Common concerns are often related to the Intermediate Shaft (IMS) bearing, though this is less prevalent in later 987.1 models like this one. Maintenance costs can be higher than average due to specialized parts and labor, particularly for major services. Insurance costs may also be above average due to the vehicle's sports car classification and higher repair costs. However, these are typical considerations for a Porsche and not necessarily unusual for the brand's performance vehicles.
