1999 Porsche Boxster 5spd
Blue with gray interior

Details:

I bought this car then end up buying a 911 right afterwards and decided to keep the 911.  Car appears to be very well taken care of and is very clean with NO rust or corrosion.  Runs and drives nicely.  Shift smoothly through all the gears with NO grinding.  Clutch feels strong.  Does not smoke or leak.  Convertible top is in great shape and appears nearly new.  The back plastic window is very clear with no cracking or signs of age.  The top goes up and down smoothly and the windows work nicely.  The body is very straight with NO major damage.   There is no significant chipping or cracking in the paint and the only damage I can really find is one dime sized chip on the front bumper and another similar sized chip on the rear bumper.  The interior is in equally good shape.  The leather is clean with no rips or tears.  There is a very small amount of wear on the drivers bolster, but much less than you would expect for its age and miles.  All the power options seem to work fine.  The a/c blows cold.  There is also a $600 Kenwood touchscreen DVD player that folds out of the dash.  Tires are Pirelli P-zero tires that have about 50% tread left.  The rims are clean with minimal curb rash.  The alignment is spot on and I would feel comfortable taking the car on a long road trip.  

History:

I purchased the car in California and the car still has the California Salvage title from Liberty Mutual.  From what I can tell the car looks like they hit a curb putting a small (8 inch dent) into the bottom of the front trunk pan.  In the front of the car where the spare tire is stored, the bottom of the trunk is very low to the ground and that is where the dent was.  I stood on the dent and it popped right out.  This damage did not affect the alignment (I did not have the car aligned and the alignment is still spot on) or any other part of the car.  The damage cannot be seen unless you are under the car and does not affect the functionality or usability of the car in any way.  The accident also seemed to set off the airbag light, so the airbag light is on.  I do not have the tools to pull the codes, so I do not know why it is on, but non of the airbags deployed  and the seatbelts still function.  My guess is that is the real reason the car was totaled was because the insurance company figured on needing to replace all the airbags due to the light being on.  This car can be driven as it is with absolutely no work whatsoever needing to be done. 

Flaws:

Aside from the salvage title there are a couple of small flaws with the car.  Like every other Boxster in existence the center console door is broken.  The drivers door panel storage bin lid is also broken.  The driver's a/c vent has a couple broken fins.  There is a small 1 inch X 2 inch piece of trim at the front of the tonneau cover on the driver's side that is missing.  The keyless entry remote does not work (most likely just needs to be reset).  The convertible top warning light is on even when the top is secured (faulty sensor that is pretty common on these cars).  Finally the airbag light is on most likely due to the accident.

Terms:

Buyer is responsible for getting the car to their location.  I will help where I can.  I need a $500 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of the close of the auction with the remainder due in one week via cash or cashiers check. Car is sold as is where is.

Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction

Mon, 28 Jul 2014

With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.

Audi outlasts rivals to win 13th Le Mans title

Sun, 15 Jun 2014

As is so often the case, the 2014 Le Mans was a war of attrition, and Audi managed to prevail once again after all 24 hours had been recorded in the history books, with its Audi R18 E-Tron Quattro claiming first and second places, followed by Toyota in third. Drivers Marcel Fassler, Andre Lotterer and Benoit Treluyer inherited the lead in their No. 2 Audi after the No. 7 Toyota, driven by pole-sitter Kazuki Nakajima, was forced to retire with electrical problems in the 15th hour.
The No. 2 Audi led the race until it was forced to the pits to replace a turbocharger in the 17th hour, allowing the No. 1 Audi, driven by Lucas di Grassi, Marc Gene (who was a last-minute replacement for Loic Duval, who crashed hard during practice) and defending champion Tom Kristensen, led the race until the 21st hour, when it too had to pit with turbocharger issues. This gave the No. 20 Porsche of Timo Bernhard, Brendon Hartley, and Mark Webber the lead until it was forced off the track with gearbox problems, eventually finishing in 38th position.
In LMP2, the Jota Sport Zytek Z11SN-Nissan driven by Simon Dolan, Harry Tincknell and Oliver Turvey claimed victory, the first five LMP2 finishers all powered by Nissan. Down a level in GTE-Pro, No. 51 AF Corse Ferrari 458 Italia GT2 driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Toni Vilander and Giancarlo Fisichella finished one lap ahead of the leading Corvette Racing C7.R. And finally, the No. 95 Aston Martin Racing Vantage GTE driven by Kristian Poulsen, David HeinemeierHansson and Nicki Thiim won the GTE-Am race two laps ahead of a Proton Porsche 911 GT3 RSR.
