1998 Porsche Boxster

Excellent car, runs great, drives great. Fun and great looking car! It has the taillights and wheels that make it look better than a brand new Boxster!

The Boxster has great tires and rims and the dual exhaust makes the car sound great. Its a 5 speed manual which makes the Porsche fun to drive.

Recent oil change done, and I just put two new tires in the back for $500 less than 1000 miles ago I have all paperwork.

Also, just registered the car this month. Good until July 2014!

I will include the nav device that is currently in the car as it is already hooked up to the car.

 

Problems: The airbag warning light is on. This is the problem that is causing that:

Airbag Warning Light Lit

Diagnostic: Airbag idiot light on dash lights up.

Cause: Faulty seat belt receptacles.

Details: If the airbag idiot light appears on the dash, the most frequent cause is a fault in the relay in the seat belt. The Boxster has a relay that detects and records whether the seat belt was being worn if the airbag deploys. The solution is to replace the seat belt buckle receptacles. See the Boxster Technical Bulletin labeled Air Bag Warning Lamp On [grp6 9701 6924 9/30/97]. Although this bulletin says that the problem is fixed, it is still occurring on a fair number of Boxsters. Unfortunately, you do not want to mess around with faults in the airbag system, since it could save your life, so you should have this checked reasonably quickly.

Time in Shop: 2.33 hours.

 

Also the spoiler no longer retracts so the car has a permanent spoiler.

But you won't find a better looking, sounding, or driving Boxster out there! Sorry to sell but have to pay for school

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.

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.
