 Selling my 1999 Porsche Boxster. This car has a rare hardtop (worth $2,000) that pops off and has a functional soft top underneath. Perfect for someone who owns cats and is worried they'll damage the top but still wants a convertible (that's why I bought it). Car has a few scratches and dings that are typical of a car this age. Passenger door only unlocks from the inside and the radio is missing the turning nobs but is still fully functional. Otherwise, the car's exterior and interior are in good condition for its age. Car has Automatic Transmission with Tiptronic. Mileage on it is 101,800. Car runs and drives fine, but some repairs are needed (see below). Reserve price set low to accommodate for repairs. Has a CD player, a brand new battery, an ice cold A/C, and includes original owners manual. Spoiler pops up at 60mph or can be brought up with controls inside the vehicle.

Here is a list of mechanical repairs I know this car needs.:
Spark plug tube seals (minor oil leak at seals)
Both CV axle boots (torn and need to be replaced)
Trans. shaft seals (minor trans. leak at seals)

Car is drivable in current condition, and interested parties are more than welcome to come give it a test drive (by appointment only). I asked the Porsche dealership if they thought it would make it from Texas to New Mexico and back without the repairs (since I was planning a trip), and they said yes.

Please feel free to call if you have any questions. My number is (210) 415-9377. My name is Marla.

Kelly Blue Book value for this car in its current condition is $9,815

Season 9 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases us with BMWs and Volvos

Thu, Dec 22 2016

Jerry Seinfeld's successful online show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is heading into its ninth season, returning January 5th. It should be no surprise that the list of actors and comedians is impressive, with Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, and more making appearances. Seinfeld has lined up an equally impressive list of cars for the new season. Porsche, BMW, and Volvo all have beautiful machines lined up to shuttle Seinfeld and his guest to different coffee shops. As always, it's a mix of light humor packed into a relatively short and, most importantly, free video. Catch up on the previous eight seasons now on Crackle.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini

Fri, 14 Mar 2014

It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.

2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled

Thu, 11 Jul 2013

Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
