2000 Porsche Boxster Gorgeous With Low Miles And Service History on 2040-cars
Fairfax, Virginia, United States

2000 Porsche Boxster – VIN WP0CA2980YU623993 For your consideration is my happy little unmolested 2000 Porsche Boxster – the car that brought Porsche motoring back to the masses. This car has not been restored in any way, shape, or form, but is an excellent low mileage driver and gets “thumbs-up” and positive comments everywhere we go. I purchased this car from one of the local Porsche franchise dealers where it had been traded-in by the second owner on a new Porsche. I was surprised to find a 13 year-old car like this on a new car dealer's lot, but once I looked it over I understood why -it's truly a standout example, and one I thought I'd never find after looking at a lot of used and abused Boxsters - and it came with a clean CarFax to boot! This one had clearly been loved! Wearing just over 72,000 miles, I bought it as a fun weekend runabout. As a freelance automotive journalist, I’m now on to my next project. I am also thinning the herd. I have 2 factory keys and two file folders full of records along with the original manuals. It comes with 17" Carrera alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering whee and seats, power windows, locks and top, CD changer, and a Porsche OEM car cover. In the last few thousand miles it has received: 1) new clutch; 2) oil and filter change; 3) main motor mount; 4) Continental performance all-season DWS tires. The OEM convertible top is in very nice condition. On the inside, this car is in excellent condition, not having suffered from the interior trim cracking and seat seam splits that plague so many Boxsters. There are no foul odors, and the carpets and new OEM floor mats are in good condition. The original radio/cassette, CD changer, heater, and air conditioning all work perfectly, and the car recently passed the stringent Virginia safety inspection (good through 10/15). Outside, the car is remarkably straight save for a few very small parking lot dings. The speed yellow paint is in remarkable condition , and the doors shut perfectly. All of the lenses are in good, clear condition. The alloy wheels are in very nice condition, save for the right rear wheel which shows some kerbing on the lip, and the original spare tire and tool kit are in the front trunk. The motor starts easily and settles
to a very smooth idle. The power steering functions properly, and the 5-speed manual transmission (no Tiptronic here!) shifts as smoothly as any Porsche I’ve driven (including a new 911S Carrera 7-speed!). There are no odd noises or whines from the driveline. The new clutch takes-up properly and the car does not smoke irregularly. The brakes are
in good condition and do not pull. The brake pedal is appropriately firm. Please keep in mind that this is not a
new vehicle and that it is sold as-is, where-is with no warrantees
implied, stated, or otherwise intended. You are bidding to own this

'Faster. Farther.' dives into the history of Porsche racing tech
Wed, 07 Aug 2013No doubt, Porsche has produced some of the best endurance racecars around, such as the turbocharged, slant-nose 935 of the 1970s and the ground-effects-enhanced 956 and 962 of the 1980s. But the company's most famous racecar, its first overall winner at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, was the 917.
The 917 embodied many of Porsche's technological achievements up to that point, such as the company's first 12- and 16-cylinder engines (the flat-16 was never used in competition), fiberglass bodies that implemented early aerodynamic practices and the use of new, exotic materials, such as magnesium and titanium.
The racecar was commissioned by the head of Porsche Motorsports, Ferdinand Piëch, to win overall at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970, after he realized a loophole in the rules that allowed cars to compete with engines up to five liters in the Sport category if they were also production models. Piëch saw opportunity: the top prototype class was restricted to three liters; the production minimum to compete in Sport was 25 cars. And so, with much effort, Porsche assembled 25 "production" 4.5-liter 917s and had them parked in a neat line for the race inspectors to verify their legitimacy. It didn't take long before people realized the new Porsches were much faster than the prototype racers, with a top speed approaching 250 miles per hour.
Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt
Fri, Sep 18 2015FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.
