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. |

Porsche Classic launching branded motor oil for air-cooled boxer engines
Tue, 17 Jun 2014It's hard not to love the look of a classic Porsche. Whether it's the upside-down bathtub styling of the 356 or the gradual evolution of the 911, there is a little beauty in all of them. However, the older they get, the more that needs repaired to keep them on the road. Porsche Classic is helping out, though, by introducing its own brand of motor oil for the demands of the company's vintage, air-cooled engines.
Developed at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach, Germany, Porsche Classic Motoroil comes in two weights - 20W-50 for the 356, 914 and 911 models up to the 2.7-liter G-Model and 10W-60 for 3.0-liters-and-up engines through the 993-chassis 911. The company claims that the air-cooled engines have different heat demands than traditional, water-cooled units, and this oil is made to meet those requirements.
According to Porsche, modern, synthetic oils are sometimes too effective when it comes to old engines. They are fantastic at sopping up debris, but those deposits are often holding archaic seals together. Suddenly removing them can cause leaks. The new oil is specifically designed to work with the old-fashioned materials found in its classics. The company also knows that most owners aren't driving their vintage cars everyday. So this formulation is more alkaline that normal to neutralize acids that they build up and corrode components.

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911
Thu, 26 Sep 2013According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.
