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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford's "snowtonomous" Fusion Hybrid, Porsche eyes battery makers

Fri, Mar 11 2016

Bosch and Panasonic are vying to be the battery supplier for Porsche's electric sports car based on the Mission E concept. While Bosch's costs may be higher, its solution would offer simpler logistics. Panasonic is already well established as a battery maker, providing the packs for the Porsche car's rival, Tesla. "We're in the final stage of making a decision," says Porsche CEO Oliver Blume, declining to comment on specific manufacturers. Neither Bosch nor Panasonic provided comment. Read more from Automotive News. Renault will supply a fleet of 150 Renault Zoe EVs for a smart solar charging project in Utrecht, Netherlands. The project involves the installation of 1,000 EV chargers powered by 10,000 photovoltaic panels. The Renault Zoes would be used as part of a carsharing program powered by the solar chargers. Renault and its partners will also implement a vehicle-to-grid system to provide energy during peak demand from the solar chargers and connected EVs. Read more in the press release from Renault. Ford has been testing an autonomous Fusion Hybrid prototype that is capable of driving itself in snowy conditions. Ford uses 3D mapping to scan the drive route. Its LiDAR laser mapping can even detect single falling snowflakes. It collects and processes up to 600 gigabytes of data per hour, comparing its environment to saved maps, a process that helps establish location more precisely than GPS. In addition to the LiDAR systems, the car is also equipped with cameras and radar to help it navigate. Eventually, the car could even be able to clean off its sensors when it detects loss of performance from ice and dirt. Read more in the press release below. FROM AUTONOMY TO SNOWTONOMY: HOW FORD FUSION HYBRID AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH VEHICLE CAN NAVIGATE IN WINTER DEARBORN, Mich., March 10, 2016 – Driving in snow can be a slippery challenge, with the potential for one blizzardy gust to white-out your field of view – a situation faced by the majority of people in the United States. So if self-driving cars are to become a reality – and they almost certainly will – they must be able to navigate snow-covered roads. In its quest to bring self-driving vehicles to millions of people around the world, Ford reveals six facts about its technology that allows for a car to drive itself in snow. 1. Mapping the way: Ford first creates high-resolution 3D maps using LiDAR technology to scan the area its autonomous vehicle will later drive in the snow.

First-ever Porsche headed home to company museum

Wed, 29 Jan 2014

About 30 years before Ferdinand Porsche designed the Volkswagen Beetle, he created the Egger-Lohner electric vehicle, C.2 Phaeton model - or simply, the P1 - you see above. This was the first vehicle created by Porsche, and the car gets its nickname from the fact that he had stamped "P1" on many of the parts marking it as the first Porsche... sorry, 356 No. 1.
Now while you'd think that such an important piece of Porsche heritage has been in a museum or even the automaker's not-so-secret lair, it has actually been sitting at a warehouse for the last 112 years. Thankfully, that's all about to change as Porsche has recovered P1, and the car will soon be on "permanent display" at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
The P1 has a 3 horsepower motor capable of delivering a top speed of 21 miles per hour and a driving range of 49 miles, and, like many vehicles in Porsche's history, the motor is positioned at the rear of the vehicle. According to the press release posted below, the P1 finished first in a 24-mile electric vehicle race in Berlin in 1899, but it has been sitting since 1902.

Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames

Wed, 01 Jan 2014

Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
