1999 Porsche Boxster Base Convertible 2-door 2.5l Black And Tan Manual on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
Selling my 1999 Porsche Boxster in great color combination. This is the base model but has some upgrades such as wood trim e-brake and shift knob. parcel shelf and parcel shelf speakers and equalizer/amp. All leather with power locks and mirrors, abs, four air bags, rims are from a 2007 Cayman. Tires are Michelin pilot sports. 109000 miles or so total on the clock. I have owned for three years and have treated it well. Under my ownership it has gotten a new radiator cap, new fuel filler cap, driver window regulator and just recently a new motor mount. Previous owner did clutch at around 78k and at that time they did air injection pump, rear main seal, belts etc. Have receipts for this work. This porsche drives awesome. I will list it's flaws which are all minor.
Paint shows it age and needs a good detail. Has some stone chips and some dried sap from being parked under a tree that was shedding it seeds last fall. This is not particularly noticeable mostly immediately after a wash if you look close. Soft-top is original but in good condition with no rips or leaks, plastic window is clear and intact. Passenger seat has a 1 inch tear that has not gotten any bigger in the three years I have owned the car. Slight chip in the wood on the underside of the e-brake handle, not really noticeable. Tires have some shoulder wear but are strong in the middle. They are 17's. The badge on the back of the trunk needs to be replaced, I have new badge just never got around to putting it on. Also have new taillight, not sure why just came with the car. Includes wheel locks as well. Steering wheel leather is losing it's color at top. Finally the armrest plastic hinges are broken which means you can just take off the arm rest cover instead of it only rotating up. This can be good because you can put your coffee mug there! I know this car inside and out and have done my own maintenance it just got an oil change with new filter and always mobil 1 200 miles ago. This boxster drives perfect. Great suspension, steers great no mechanical issues whatsoever. I would drive it across the country tomorrow. The car is a blast to drive and I love putting the top down. It's issues are all very minor and generally cosmetic and commensurate with a 15 year old car. I have realized boxster's are the best car for the money by far! Needs: There are currently two minor electrical issues. First is the ever common driver seat belt buckle needs cleaned or replaced and has triggered the airbag light. This is an incredibly common problem with this generation 911 and boxster. Second is the keyless needs to be reprogrammed to the car. I let the key fob go dead for too long it seems and it lost it's synch with the car or so the dealer said to me. Only have one key. |

Autoblog Podcast #344:
Automakers paying Chinese dealers for lower-than-expected sales
Sat, Jan 10 2015The Chinese dealers vs. foreign manufacturers story won't quit. It began with a story on the struggles faced by FAW-Toyota joint venture dealers, with supposedly 95 percent of the showrooms losing money, and 10 percent of them doing so poorly that they'd have to exit the business. The problem is mandated sales targets, most set when the country's economy was racing. Now that things have slowed, China's dealers are swimming in unsold cars and the costs to keep them. In the case of FAW-Toyota, dealers asked Toyota to hand over 2.2 billion yuan ($355 million) to help address the situation. That was followed by a report noting the issues that Honda, BMW, and Nissan dealers are having with the same issue, revealing that the Chinese Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) had taken the highly unusual step of writing to the Chinese government to complain. Now Reuters reports that CADA is not only pressing its case even harder, it's being open about it: it announced that BMW agreed to pay dealers 5.1 billion yuan ($820 million) to alleviate poor profits last year. Unnamed sources said Audi has thrown 2 billion yuan into the kitty for subsidies, and Daimler has contributed "about 1 billion yuan" to its dealers. The battle isn't just about 2014, but how business will be run in 2015 as well: Chinese Porsche dealers have requested the automaker lower its 2015 target of 64,000 cars, which would be a 40-percent increase on its 2014 sales of 46,931 vehicles. One analyst called it "shocking" that the CADA has taken its fight public, while CADA comments continue to imply that dealers have been railroaded to the cliff's edge without recourse. "Due to the difference in status," it's deputy secretary said, "individual dealers are not willing to, or don't dare to, talk frankly with the carmakers...." Both parties need one another, so they'll figure out a way to make it work – but that could mean acknowledging the Chinese market is behaving more like a mature one, not an emerging one.

Porsche Macan to debut at LA Auto Show
Wed, 29 May 2013Auto Express reports Porsche will unveil the upcoming Macan SUV at this year's LA Auto Show. Citing an unnamed "insider," AE says that the five-door will bow with engines, suspension and interior architecture that will help differentiate it from its Audi Q5 chassis mate. Big shocker there. We've been hearing the same line since we first caught word of the Macan back when it was still rolling around under the Cajun name. The report does shed some light on the model's pricing, however. That same insider says the Porsche Macan will carry a price tag of 36,000 pounds.
What does that mean for American buyers? Do some quick math based on current conversion rates, and average UK and US prices, and we come up with a sticker of roughly $42,000 here in the land of the free. That fits in line with the rest of the company's stable, with the larger Cayenne starting at $49,600.
Still, we'll wait for more concrete word before jumping behind the AE report wholeheartedly. The 2013 LA Auto Show gets going in late November.
