Great condition 2002 PORSCHE BOXSTER S with only 62,660 miles.

I am NOT A DEALER, and this car WAS NOT BOUGHT AT AUCTION.  This is my toy - my garage queen to be exact as it was only used in nice weather and garaged when not driven.  I have spared no expense in servicing the car and doing all recommended steps to insure it operates at the highest level of performance. This car is super clean (I'm third owner), kept in the garage and have invested over $10,000 in preventative & regular service maintenance.  I'm so protective of the car that the gas tank is always full to avoid condensation in the tank. The Boxster is perfect if you're looking to buy a car from a person who took care of it like they were going to keep it forever.....then this is the car as until today as I intended on keeping it forever.

I'm selling the car after 4 great years of enjoyment because my children are now wanting to drive with me and two seats just aren't enough, so changing to a 911 Cabriolet (If I can find one with a IMS retrofit so the engine does not seize - see IMS Problem on Porsche Boxster/911 below)


The Porsche is accident free with a clean Carfax and comes 
in a very desirable color combination Seal Grey Metallic exterior, Grey interior and matching Grey Convertible Top.  The paint looks great aside from normal wear.  Please note pics denoting any scratches.

The interior is in excellent condition with very minor signs of wear and is a smoke free car.  All parts, components and options(Power Windows, AC, Cruise, etc, etc. is all in working order without issue)

The soft top is in great shape and has only very minimal signs of wear.  The rear window was replaced in 2010.

The Boxster S has no known mechanical issues and everything works as it should.

18'' stock wheels are in great condition and tires were installed at $56,000 miles(only 6K miles of wear)

Have all service records from my purchase date in 2010 to today, including the receipt for IMS Retrofit for the engine - to avoid and insure against IMS Failure.  I loved the Boxster S and made the $5,000 investment to have the IMS Retrofit Kit installed by a certified Porsche service center(Body Motion in Ocean NJ) to avoid any problems as I was going to keep this car forever.....(until my kids changed everything)

In addition to above - I've changed many parts that are part of the normal wear of the vehicle and also completed the 60,000 mile service including tune up, timing belt, etc.    

Car is paid for and title is in hand.  Be sure to ask this when speaking to other sellers, as when I was looking to buy in 2010, I was amazed at how many people did not have their Titles.(Was held by bank, leasing company, former spouse, etc.) Protect yourself.


IMS Failures - 1997-2008 Boxsters & 911 - Regardless of where you buy your Boxster - do your homework and protect yourself.  When I started looking for a used Boxster S in 2010 I noticed "Private Sellers" discussing IMS Problems and solutions.  I Googled "IMS Problems Porsche Boxster" and found an alarming problem- if left unresolved, the IMS issue occurring in these engines will turn your beautiful Porsche into a $20,000+ paperweight in your garage.  Google for yourself or I can email you links to IMS issues and solutions.

Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history

Fri, 06 Sep 2013

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.

Porsche calling in two Cayennes

Sun, Jan 4 2015

We regularly see recalls addressing all manner of problems (or potential problems) affecting any number of vehicles: hundreds, thousands, even millions. Some are too small to bother reporting, but once in a while one comes along that's so ridiculously small that we couldn't pass it over. Like this latest one from Porsche. "Due to a manufacturing error," says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque." The recall affects the 2015 Cayenne... but just how many of them, you ask? Two. Not two hundred, not two thousand, but two: one Cayenne Diesel and one Cayenne S, manufactured between November 26 and... November 27, 2014. That very well might make this the most methodically German recall in the history of recalls. If you happen to be the owner of one of those two vehicles, expect to hear from Porsche with instructions to bring your Cayenne in to have the suspension re-aligned and the screws tightened. RECALL Subject : Front and Rear Alignment may be Incorrect Report Receipt Date: DEC 29, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V824000 Component(s): SUSPENSION Potential Number of Units Affected: 2 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2015 Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S vehicles manufactured November 26, 2014, to November 27, 2014. Due to a manufacturing error, the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque. CONSEQUENCE: If the suspension alignment was incorrectly performed, vehicle handling could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will perform a front and rear suspension alignment, and check the screw connections for the proper torque, retightening as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification date. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AF04. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Ferdinand Piech (1937-2019): The man who made VW global

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Towering among his peers, a giant of the auto industry died Sunday night in Rosenheim/Upper Bavaria, Germany. Ferdinand Piech, a grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, who conceived the original Volkswagen in the 1930s, was the most polarizing automotive executive of our times. And one who brought automotive technology further than anyone else. Ferdinand Porsche had a son, Ferdinand (called "Ferry"), and a daughter, Louise, who married the Viennese lawyer Anton Piech. They gave birth to Ferdinand Piech, and his proximity to two Alfa Romeo sports cars — Porsche had done some work for the Italians — and the "Berlin-Rome-Berlin" race car, developed by Porsche himself, gave birth to Piech's interest in cars. After his teachers in Salzburg told his mother he was "too stupid" to attend school there, Piech, who was open about his dyslexia, was sent to a boarding school in Switzerland. He subsequently moved on to Porsche, where he fixed issues with the 904 race car and did major work on the 911. But his greatest project was the Le Mans-winning 917 race car, developed at breathtaking financial cost. It annihilated the competition, but the family had had enough: Amid growing tension among the four cousins working at Porsche and Piech's uncle Ferry, the family decided to pull every family member, except for Ferry, out of their management positions. Piech started his own consultancy business, where he designed the famous five-cylinder diesel for Mercedes-Benz, but quickly moved on to Audi, first as an engineer and then as CEO, where he set out to transform the dull brand into a technology leader. Piech killed the Wankel engine and hammered out a number of ambitious and sophisticated technologies. Among them: The five-cylinder gasoline engine; Quattro all-wheel drive and Audi's fantastic rally successes; and turbocharging, developed with Fritz Indra, whom Piech recruited from Alpina. The Audi 100/200/5000 became the world's fastest production sedan, thanks to their superior aerodynamics. Piech also launched zinc-coated bodies for longevity — and gave diesel technology a decisive boost with the advent of the fast and ultra-efficient TDI engines. Less known: Piech also decided to put larger gas tanks into cars. Customers loved it. Piech's first-generation Audi V8 was met with derision by competitors; it was too obviously based on the 200/5000.
