1998 Porsche Boxster
85,324 Miles
5spd Manual transmission

Vehicle Condition:

This Porsche runs and drives great. Shifts smoothly through all the gears with NO grinding or noise.  The clutch feels strong. The engine starts right up and does NOT smoke or leak.  Tracks straight with no noise in the suspension.  A/C blows cold air, power windows operate smoothly and are not "slow" like many cars this age.  The power top operates smoothly as well.  The top is in "good" shape with no tears or rips, but does show some age.  The rear plastic window is in reasonable shape with no cracks and is not super cloudy or faded like some Boxsters get.  The leather seats do show some wear and the drivers seat is cracked on the bottom cushion. The interior over all is fine, but does show some fading and wear and tear.  The radio face plate is missing, but I do have the radio code card.  The airbag light is on, but all other warning lights are off.   The car appears to be well maintained and can be driven as is where ever the buyer likes.  Everything functions as it should.  

Accident Damage:

This car has a salvage Alabama title.  The car was in a fairly minor accident recently.  You can see the damage in the pictures.  There are some dents to the driver's rear quarter panel, driver's door, and driver's front fender.  These are superficial and easily repaired by any body shop and do not effect how the car runs or drives.  Additionally there is some damage to the front the rear bumpers which are also easily repaired.  There are a few small pieces of trim that are missing such as the front corner reflector and the drivers taillight lens is broken, but aside from these small things the car is complete and perfectly drivable as is.  The car did not sustain any suspension or frame damage in the accident. 

Maintenance:

The car appears to have been very well maintained by Eurasian Auto Service Inc. of Birmingham AL.  with more than $3500 spent on routine maintenance since 2007.  Maintenance items include brakes, filters, seals, MAF sensor, wheel bearing, and front motor mount.  I will provide all receipts to the buyer.  

Terms:

The car is sold as is where is with no warranties expressed or implied.  The car is located in Alexandria, VA and has a salvage Alabama title.  The buyer will receive the title and bill of Sale.  A $500 deposit will be due within 24 hours of the end of the auction via Paypal with the remainder due within one week.  Buyer is to arrange vehicle transport.

Jaguar F-Type squares off against Porsche 911, Aston V8 Vantage with Chris Harris

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

Chris Harris is back on the job, taking on really really difficult car questions like: Which enormously sexy and good-to-drive, high-performance convertible is the top of the heap? As one of the hottest cars in the luxury space right now, the Jaguar F-Type S is, of course, in on the action. Competition comes in the form of the Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster and the Porsche 911 Carrera S Cabriolet. Sun-loving CEOs who despise test-driving need look no further.
Scroll on below for a fully featured (with a running time of more than 20 minutes) comparison video. Harris does his best to entertain - in a typically nitpicky and made-up-British-words fashion - and the moving pictures are lovely to look at. Kick back, pour a pint and get your weekend started off right.

Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
