Alexandria, Virginia, United States

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.

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.

Porsche's baby Panamera delayed until 2019 or later

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

If you're enticed by the idea of a Porsche sedan but find the Panamera to be too big, your hopes may have been raised by the development of the so-called Pajun. But don't get those hopes up too much, because the latest word coming in from the Old World has it that the Panamera Junior has been delayed.
The Pajun was (and theoretically still is, despite tardiness) a project to apply to the Panamera the same winning formula that Porsche used to transmute the Cayenne into the smaller Macan. Its size would be closer to the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class than the larger Panamera, and employ an array of six-cylinder engines.
The smaller five-door was set to be the cornerstone of Porsche Product Strategy 2018, a plan that included several new models to be launched within the next four years. However, reports now indicate that the Volkswagen Group is counting on Porsche to help bolster its profits and is not keen on investing in new products at this time, pushing the Pajun and other projects back until 2019 at the earliest. Although much of the strategy remains undisclosed, it is believed to include (or have included) a sub-Boxster sports car and a supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder. There was also talk of a shooting brake version of the Panamera based on the Sport Turismo concept pictured above. What will become of those projects, however, remains to be seen.

Hyundai Blue Link Android smartwatch app will start your car

Mon, Jan 5 2015

We knew Hyundai would be bringing its Blue Link smartwatch app to the Consumer Electronics Show, and now that CES is upon us, the app's workings have been revealed. Once you get the free Blue Link app on your smartphone and your Android smartwatch and pair them up with the app, it's all systems go. Through either touch or voice commands, you can remotely lock or unlock your car doors, start and stop your engine, flash the lights and honk the horn, or have your watch locate your car. It works on every Hyundai with first- or second-gen Blue Link (which is all of them in the case of first-gen and the 2015 Genesis, Sonata and Azera for second-gen). The watch app isn't quite ready yet, but the company says you'll be able to get it sometime in Q1. There's a video above showing Hyundai's offering at work, and a press release below with more information below. HYUNDAI BLUE LINK TO DEBUT SMARTWATCH APP WITH VOICE RECOGNITION AT 2015 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW AND PEPCOM'S DIGITAL EXPERIENCE - Next Generation Blue Link System to Launch on 2016 Elantra GT and Veloster - The Blue Link smartwatch app works with first and second generation Blue Link equipped Hyundai models Fountain Valley, Calif., Jan. 2, 2015 – Smartwatch sales are skyrocketing and starting early in 2015 Hyundai owners will be able to connect with their cars using these wearable devices and the Hyundai Blue LinkĀ® smartwatch app. Hyundai will debut and demonstrate the Blue Link smartwatch app at Pepcom's Digital Experience and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CESĀ®). Pepcom's Digital Experience takes place before CES on Jan. 5 and Hyundai's exhibit (North Hall, booth #2818) at CES will be open Jan. 6-9, 2015. Hyundai's cloud-based Blue Link platform allows features like remote start and service information to be quickly accessed through devices like smartwatches and smartphones. Hyundai partnered with Station Digital Media to develop the Blue Link smartwatch app. "This new app expands Hyundai's exploration into how wearable technology and Blue Link fit into a customer's lifestyle," said Barry Ratzlaff, executive director, customer connect and service business development, Hyundai Motor America. "Connecting to your car through a smartwatch and voice recognition was previously something seen only in science fiction movies. Now, we can provide this capability to owners of Hyundai vehicles equipped with Blue Link." The app is easy to use.
