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.

EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi

Sun, 25 Nov 2012

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.

24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...

Porsche reveals new 911 GT3 R at the Nurburgring

Fri, May 15 2015

On any given weekend, you're bound to find gaggles of Porsche 911s zipping around most any race track. Now Porsche has revealed its latest competition model at no less fitting a location than the Nurburgring. The new 911 GT3 R replaces the existing version, slotting in below the 911 RSR. It's based closely on the road-going 911 GT3 RS, and retains the same 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six with direct injection and variable valve timing, but tuned to deliver over 500 horsepower, transmitted to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential paddle-shift gearbox and mechanical limited slip differential. The wheelbase has been stretched over three inches for better weight balance compared to the outgoing GT3 R, further optimized by more lightweight components and a central radiator to lower the center of gravity. The lightweight bodywork is made of aluminum, steel, and carbon fiber, and for the first time all of the glass (including the windscreen) has been replaced by plexi. Stopping power is provided by six-piston aluminum monoblock calipers gripping 380-millimeter steel discs up front, with four-piston calipers and 372-mm discs at the back. The safety fuel cell can now hold 120 liters of fuel with a cut-off safety valve, the doors and windows can be removed, and the escape hatch is bigger, too. All of this adds up to the promise of a more competitive GT3 R ready to take on the competition, available to privateer racing teams from December for 429,000 euros before tax – working out to about $487k at current exchange rates. World premiere at the Nurburgring Lighter, more economical, faster: the new 911 GT3 R Stuttgart. Based on the 911 GT3 RS production sports car, Porsche has designed a customer sport race car for GT3 series around the world: The 911 GT3 R. In developing the more than 368 kW (500 hp) racing nine-eleven, special attention was paid to lightweight design, better aerodynamic efficiency, reducing consumption, improved handling, further optimised safety as well as lowering service and spare parts costs. Adopted from its production sibling, the 911 GT3 R features the distinctive double-bubble roof, and the wheelbase which had been lengthened by 8.3 centimetres compared to the previous generation. This ensures a more balanced weight distribution and more predictable handling particularly in fast corners corners in comparison to the previous GT3 R.
