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.

Porsche Panamera gets new diesel in time for Frankfurt

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Diesel may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Porsche, but in the European market - that vital one which Porsche calls home - diesels are indispensable. Particularly when you're trying to extend beyond niche sports cars and into the mainstream luxury sedan market as Zuffenhausen has with the Panamera. In fact, diesels account for 15 percent of Panamera sales worldwide (even though they're not offered Stateside), so to keep oil-burning customers happy, Porsche has announced a series of upgrades.
Set to be unveiled in the flesh at the fast-approaching Frankfurt Motor Show, the new Panamera Diesel packs 300 horsepower. That's 50 hp (or 20 percent) more than the model it replaces, significantly dropping the 0-62 sprint from 6.8 seconds to 6 flat, and raising top speed from 152 miles per Autobahn-crunching hour to 161. While they were at it, Porsche's engineers also fitted the rear differential with torque vectoring (previously reserved for gasoline-burning models) and retuned the transmission and suspension.
You can delve into the press release below for all the details - including the new model's improved towing capacity! - but the reality, for better or worse, is that the Panamera Diesel isn't offered here. So if you've been celebrating Labor Day (or even Labour Day, for our friends to the north) like we have, don't go looking for it at your local dealer, who will have only a Cayenne Diesel to show you instead.

Man steals Porsche, brags on video, then crashes into wall

Thu, Dec 3 2015

Here's your daily reminder that thieves are morons. This also serves as reminder that not everything you do needs to be committed to video. A man in Gloucester, a city in southwest England, was stupid enough to steal a Porsche Boxster and then take a video in it. Oh, and of course, he crashed it. Now, we'll give this dimwit, 25-year-old Jamie Lee Sharp, some credit – he didn't actually admit that he stole the car on video, at least based on the 45-second clip released by Gloucester police and hosted by The Guardian. According to the story, there was more footage, which included Sharp driving the car and phoning friends, before he crashed it into a wall. It's not clear if the crash was caught on video, though. Following the crash, Sharp's accomplice, 26-year-old James Honeywell, abandoned him at the scene of the wreck. Both thieves were arrested following the January incident, though, and were just recently sentenced by British authorities following guilty pleas. The crown awarded Sharp's actions with a four-year stay in one of Her Majesty's prisons for burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, driving while disqualified, drunk driving, and driving without insurance. Honeywell got 35 months burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, and failure to appear at court. His license was also suspended for nearly two and half years, too, The Guardian reports.

Watch MotorWeek review the last great air-cooled Porsche 911

Thu, Apr 28 2016

These days air-cooled Porsche prices are blasting through the roof, and the 993 gets much of that love among collectors as the last generation before the 911's switch to water-cooled design. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review now looks back at the 1996 911 Targa. The coupe came from a brief period when the 911s were the only models in the brand's lineup, but the company made sure those cars were perfect. The point of Porsche's Targa models is to combine the open-air driving of a convertible with a security of a coupe. In this case, the engineers came up with a massive glass panel that slid into the roof at the touch of a button. The design still allowed for rearward visibility but created a giant opening to allow the sunshine in. The solution isn't as awe-inspiring to watch as the Transformer-like metamorphosis of the latest 911 Targa, but it gets the job done in a very unobtrusive way. As air-cooled values continue to creep upward, it's fascinating to hear how contemporary reviewers critique the cars. In this case, the 993 lives up to the promise of being the ultimate evolution of the original idea behind the 911. MotorWeek even calls the coupe "simply one of the best road cars ever made." Check out the video to find out why. Related Video:
