1999 Porsche Boxster W/hardtop And Full Service History on 2040-cars
Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
|
1999 Porsche Boxster 986 Ocean Blue Metallic / Savanna Biege - 5 Speed Manual with only 96k.
Offered for sale is an extra clean California Boxster in beautiful shape with zero accidents or stories. This life long California car was only imported to Minnesota by myself six months ago and passed a complete mechanical inspection by IPB Autosport at that time. With several key service items just performed (listed below), this Boxster will give you long time enjoyment with no worries of expensive maintenance moving forward. Unexpected purchase of a third Porsche forces sale or I'd enjoy this beauty for many years to come; I looked at many Boxsters to find a nice, well maintained example. RECENT MAJOR SERVICE & REPAIRS (Just Performed): • Clutch • Air/Oil Separator (AOS) • Convertible Top Rear Window • Motor Mounts • Headlight Lenses • Four Wheel Alignment • A/C Serviced and Recharged • Drive Belt • Front Sway Bar Links • New Bosch Battery (850cca) • Fresh Mobil 1 Oil & Filter • New Leather Shift Boot • Coolant Expansion Tank @ 75k WHAT'S INCLUDED: • Factory hardtop complete with rolling stand and dust cover • Two sets of wheels to choose from: Original Boxster Design 17" Twists and 16" M395 Five Spoke with Pirelli Winter Sport Snow Tires. Both included with "buy now".
Copy and paste the following link for an even closer look:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq4EQvvR1lw• Two factory keys, Original Owners Manual, Window Sticker, and Service History dating back to 1999. • Three sets of floor mats: Brand new set of OEM Factory Savanna Biege mats, Brand new Lloyds all season mats, and the original set that came with the car. • CD-ROM with Supporting Documentation FACTORY OPTIONS: • Heated Seats • On Board Computer • Sports Package • All Leather Seats (Savanna Beige) • Colored Crest Wheel Caps • Hi-Fi Sound pkg • Illuminated Vanity Mirrors Overall Condition: PAINT: Gorgeous Ocean Blue Metallic paint has a deep rich showroom new shine. It was hard to capture in photographs just how stunning the car looks. The nose has some minor stone chips from freeway driving and there are a few faint scratches found under careful scrutiny (too faint to be photographed), but overall, the paint is very nice. Hardtop has a 1" scratch on the driver's side. No rust. INTERIOR: Very clean Savanna Biege interior. Rare factory heated seats that work well. Non-smoker. No fading on trim pieces. Driver's seat shows minor wear from use, but no rips or tears in the leather. E-brake plastic cover has a crack in it. Armrest needs new hinges (common and easy fix). Overall, the interior retains a very "like new" look. DRIVING IMPRESSIONS: Motor is very healthy pulling strong through the entire rev range. Silky smooth both hot/cold with no unusual noises. Car tracks straight down the road and does not pull while braking. Steering is razor sharp and the car still feels "tight". Runs cool and never overheats. Nice crisp clutch engagement one of the best feeling gearboxes I've felt in an early Boxster. No warning lights illuminated on the dash and the air conditioning blows cold. Overall, the car drives just as nice as cars with half the mileage. The 2.5L flat six in these early Boxster's sounds absolutely amazing, a very mechanical sound reminiscent of the old air-cooled 911's, with a spine tingling exhaust note on full throttle. MAINTENANCE: Included will be service history from the previous owner (2003-2013) and the factory maintenance booklet with all appropriate dealership service stamps from the original owner (1999-2003). This Boxster has been lovingly maintained and enthusiast owned for it's entire life, and it shows. The 2.5 motor has the vastly superior dual-row IMS bearing and was not plagued with catastrophic failures like the newer models from 2000 on-wards. Have clean Carfax on hand. CONVERTIBLE TOP: The Metropol Blue convertible top nicely accents the Ocean Blue Metallic paint. It's in good condition but shows minor wear from use. Functions flawlessly with no holes or major blemishes. Rubber trim is in good condition. New rear window just sewn in before my purchase. Included is the "red clip" which activates the interior motion sensor if you wish to leave the car unattended with the top down. ACCESSORIES/PRICE: While I highly recommend the hardtop as a must have accessory for the Boxster, I understand it's not for everyone, thus I am willing to sell the vehicle without the hardtop for a discounted price. I have two sets of wheels for the vehicle: The original Boxster Design 17" Twists, and factory 16" M395 Five Spokes mounted with Pirelli Winter Sport Snow Tires (both pictured on the vehicle). Buyer can pick which wheels come with the vehicle or I will include both sets for an agreed price. I will include everything if the "Buy Now" option is used. ABOUT ME: As a PCA member, I have owned Porsche's for more than a decade and am a huge enthusiast of the marque. I understand how apprehensive buying a car sight unseen can be, and as a result I'm willing to work with potential buyers 100% by being available to answer questions via phone or email, take additional photographs, and to help arrange a PPI or shipping. I've tried to include photos of the vehicle in a variety of photographs with different lighting and backgrounds for the most accurate representation of how the car looks. I bought this car sight unseen from California in June of 2013 and it exceeded my expectations. Really wish I could keep it. Vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Buyer is responsible for shipping and vehicle will not be released until funds have 100% cleared my bank. I am happy to assist potential buyers however possible in this endeavor. $500.00 PayPal Deposite required within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment via cash, certified check, or wire transfer required within 7 days of auction close. Vehicle is offered for sale locally thus I reserve the right to end this listing early. |

Porsche finally gives up the goods on 2014 Macan
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Preparing a beachhead in the marketplace for the 2014 Porsche Macan crossover has been a years-long project for the German company. We've been hearing and reporting on rumors of the vehicle from its ideation stage and have covered the Macan's birth thoroughly over the last 12 months, including teasers, rumors, spy shots, leaked videos and more. Now, just ahead of the LA Auto Show-debut of Porsche's first-ever compact crossover, the wait for details is at an end.
Porsche will offer the crossover in two flavors to start: Macan S and Macan Turbo. The S model will be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower and will push the vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, then on to a top speed of 156 miles per hour. The Macan Turbo has even more impressive figures on all fronts: an all-new, 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine; 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; top speed of 164 mph. Both models make use of Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard.
As impressive as these potent powertrains are the brakes Porsche is fitting to its new crossover. Six-piston monobloc fixed-caliper brakes live up front, grabbing 13.78-inch discs on the S model and tremendous 14.17-inch discs on the Macan Turbo. We're expecting serious stopping performance, to say the least.
Road & Track names its 2013 Performance Car of the Year
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Road & Track recently staged its first annual Performance Car of the Year test, pitting 13 new and updated performance cars against each other on track, then graduating the top six to a road test before picking a winner. Additionally, the magazine staff picked the best automobiles of the year in eight categories.
But first, let's cover the PCotY segment. Here's the list of cars brought to the comparison test: Audi R8 V10 Plus; BMW 435i; BMW M6 Competition Package; Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51; Ferrari F12 Berlinetta; Ford Fiesta ST; Jaguar F-Type V8 S; Jaguar XFR-S; Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG S-Model Wagon; Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series; Mini John Cooper Works GP; Nissan GT-R Track Edition; and Porsche Cayman S.
To find out the results of the comparison, head over to Road & Track's website or check the press release below, where you'll also find the magazine's top-rated vehicles in eight categories. Want more? Head over to the 2013 PCotY hub. But before you do that, take a stab at guessing the winner of PCotY (we'll give you one hint: it isn't a Porsche).
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.
