2004 Porsche Boxster S Special Edition Convertible 2-door 3.2l Tiptronic on 2040-cars
Wilmington, Delaware, United States
|
Hello and thanks for checking out this listing of my 2004 Porsche Boxster S Special Edition in excellent condition. This car was created as a special commemorative tribute to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 550 Spyder and is an example of just 1,953 cars made (this is #1,290). Special styling cues native to the Special Edition are the Carrera GT Silver Metallic paintwork (then only available on this car and the Carrera GT supercar), an individually numbered plaque mounted on the center console, 18-inch Carrera wheels, and a stacked center mounted exhaust. The suspension has been optimized as well and features stiffer springs and shocks, plus Porsche Stability Management fitted as standard. Brakes are ventilated aluminum discs with four-piston brake calipers with an aluminum paint finish.
Special Edition special features aside, this car is classic Porsche refinement and engineering at its best. A 3.2L flat 6-cylinder power plant supplies up to 264 horsepower @ 6,200rpm. The Tiptronic S dual mode transmission offers 5 automatic shifting gears or a manual mode with sport steering wheel-mounted shift buttons. The leather interior is in showroom shape with no rips, tears, or wear marks. The car was well optioned with cruise control, a thumping Bose Sound System with AudioPilot, a remote 6-disc CD changer, sport seats, and Xenon Litronic headlamps. Carpets, floor mats, and all trim are in likewise incredible condition. I am the third owner of this stunning roadster and have put barely 4k miles on the car since purchasing it in June of 2011. Regular service has been courtesy of a local import specialist or the service team at Delaware Porsche. Just installed is a brand new battery and low-tone horn. The only "issue" that the next owner may want to address is a pulled area of trim on the headliner just rear of the top release (see photograph), although it has never bothered me and I doubt it will bother you. The car has been garaged since new and has been used exclusively as a fair-weather, top-down cruiser. The bodywork is laser straight with no dings. The paintwork is an 8.5 out of 10 with only a very few blemishes with regard to minuscule stone chips, some light scuffing under the front bumper (this is a low-slung car), and a bit of swirl here and there. Open the driver's side door and you will see a trio of very small nicks just beneath the door latch mechanism (see photograph). All four wheels are in quite good condition with colored center crests. A couple of the wheels sport some very light curb rash that is barely noticeable without going nose-to-tire with the wheel. I have done my utmost to take accurate and detailed photos of the car and welcome your questions. Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus that have fewer than 1,000 miles. They were installed at an expense of just under $1,000 less than a year ago. The car is available for your immediate review here in Wilmington, Delaware...convenient to both the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. metro areas. The car is a true stunner and is well worth the trip no matter where you may be located. Local pick-up is of course available but I would be happy to help the winning bidder coordinate transportation anywhere. Thanks very much for reading this lengthy description. The car has brought me a lot of joy over the past three years with the only out of pocket expenses being the very low-cost service items previously discussed and Super Unleaded, of course! I am selling it because I simply don't drive it enough due to work and life commitments. The reserve has been set at a very reasonable amount well below KBB value and is an excellent value. |

These were our favorite cars of 2022
Tue, Dec 20 2022Favorite cars is different than best cars. The idea of "best" can speak to value and overall competitiveness in a given vehicle segment. There's lots of objectivity involved and to do a "best" list right, one really must be very thorough and as scientific as possible. This is not that list. This is about our favorites, so objectivity be damned. If we liked a Challenger Hellcat because it made loud noises or a Honda Odyssey because it made for a particularly special family vacation, fair game. These were the cars that most spoke to our collection of editors and the ones that stayed in our minds and hung in our hearts long after they left our driveway. — Senior Editor James Riswick 2022 GMC Hummer EV Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder: I didn't particularly expect to like the new Hummer. I wasn't a fan of the Hummer H2 or H3, so I wasn't automatically enthusiastic about this electric reboot. Fast EVs aren't hard to come by — and, in fact, may be too easy to come by — so its performance specs weren't enough to win me over. Despite videos to the contrary, pickups aren't my favorite vehicular format. And its excessive size and weight turned me off ... until I finally got behind the wheel. This thing is wildly entertaining to drive. Watts to Freedom launch control is a neat party trick, sure, but the novelty wears off quickly. The novelty of Crab Walk, however, has staying power. The rear-wheel steering makes this behemoth feel much smaller than it is — the maneuverability is incredible, and useful. The air suspension provides tons of clearance, including a ridiculously high-riding Extract mode. I can't wait for lesser versions of the Hummer to make their way to market. Give me less power (for less money), but keep the off-road tricks onboard, and I'll be a happy camper. Senior Editor, Consumer, Jeremy Korzeniewski: If I could afford to put one of these in my driveway, I would. Sadly, I can't, so I won't (What's that, Janet? I got the lyric wrong?). Still, I love the dumb thing. Thankfully, I have another choice down below. 2022 Porsche 911 GT3 Associate Editor Byron Hurd: Yeah, duh, Porsches are good. But there's good, and then there's GT3. This is the feeling every performance-oriented RWD tuner is trying to replicate. This is hard, precise, surgical and immensely satisfying. To begin to explore this car on a public road is by itself an admission that you believe yourself to be above the rules as they apply to normal drivers.
Race Recap: 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans defines 'endurance'
Mon, 16 Jun 2014Commenting on the rush of events that rocked beginning and end of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Paul Truswell of Radio Le Mans said "the race is about the ability to endure, not just the ability of drivers to do what they do for a long time." The entire race machine, all the way down to the pit boards and radios, has to survive the stress and abuse of the entire day. This was the race to prove those words.
There were two Toyotas, two Porsches and three Audis, five of the seven led the race at some point, six of the seven ran in the top three. Toyota will be hugely disappointed that it didn't win when its car and drivers were so, so strong, but they gave Audi the kind of scare we haven't seen since the best of Peugeot's days, and Toyota did a better job of it even in the loss. Porsche blew away everyone's expectations, falling 3.5 hours short of a fairy tale ending that would have made Disney cry.
But Le Mans doesn't really do fairy tales. Well, not that fairy tale. Audi's Twitter handle during the event was #welcomechallenges. As usual, Le Mans answered for the entire field.
