I bought this car from a Porsche Club of America member (30 Years!) in 2010 with 77,430k Miles and it now, almost 4 years later only has 79k miles! I drove it LESS than 2,000 miles since 2010.

As you can see, the car is exceptionally clean. The front bumper was repainted by Porsche (for $1700) to make them look brand new because there were small stone chips from the highway. That is the only paintwork that has ever been done on the car, guaranteed.

I have the original window sticker, two remote keys, and all of the books. The current mileage is 79k+. It had new front rotors and pads put in at 55K miles.

I recently put $3500 into replacing the control system for the convertible top, and the waterproofing system for it in January 2012 at Porsche of Sarasota because it leaked after going through a car wash.

I also put $2100 into replacing the OEM CD Player & Stereo System in March 2012 at The Collection Porsche in Miami because the LCD screen wouldn't work.

I also replaced the rear bumper in January 2012 at Porsche of Sarasota because someone scratched it in a parking lot.

I obviously have spent far more on this car than I got out of the 2,000 miles I drove. Someone is getting a ridiculous deal out of this sale!

OEM upgrades:

Upgraded Bose sound system

OEM Porsche windstop

OEM Porsche lockable car cover

OEM Upgraded Porsche floor mats

OEM Upgraded automatic climate control

OEM Upgraded Boxster S Wheels

OEM Upgraded Porsche Painted Center Caps

The car currently has $4000 wheels & tires on it. I also have the original OEM (Upgraded) Boxster "S" 18 inch wheels with the upgraded painted center caps, including 100% BRAND NEW Hankook tires pre-mounted on them. These wheels & tires are an additional $1800.00. The tires alone were $1156

You're getting an extra complete set of wheels and tires for FREE plus the $4000 19" aluminum wheels and tires with this sale...simply pay for the car and you get all of it.

There is a small scratch on the driver's door and there is also a very small ding on the driver's door behind the door handle. One of the dashboard climate controls has the black color rubbing off, which happens with all Porsches built in the mid-2000's (All 3 that I've owned had this issue). I am not aware of any other defects. The ding and scratch are clearly shown in the last 2 photos.

I am in Miami Beach, and the buyer will need to pick the car up here. If you pick the car up using a transport service, they will obviously have to also pick up the extra set of wheels and tires somehow for you, as I can't help you ship them.

THIS IS A RIDICULOUS DEAL, I JUST PUT $7000 INTO THIS CAR IN THE PAST YEAR, BUT MY LOSS WILL BE YOUR GAIN. SADLY, I NEED AN SUV AND THIS VEHICLE ISN'T PRACTICAL FOR MY USE.

Best plug-in hybrid cars, SUVs and minivans for 2024

Tue, Aug 6 2024

We’re fans of electric vehicles, but they have their shortcomings. TheyÂ’re not available in as wide of a range of body styles as gas-powered cars, and theyÂ’re still limited by range and charging infrastructure. Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) offer a great compromise, though, allowing for all-electric driving, but also having a gas engine for when you need more power or to travel long distances. Choosing a plug-in hybrid vehicle also allows more options; for instance, you canÂ’t get an all-electric minivan in the U.S. Â… yet. But with those extra PHEV offerings, it might be difficult to know where to start shopping. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down a bit, bringing you the best plug-in hybrids for 2024, as voted on by AutoblogÂ staff, in various segments to help you pick a great PHEV based on your budget and needs. Best luxury plug-in hybrid large/midsize SUV: Volvo XC90 Recharge Despite showing its age, the Volvo XC90 remains an excellent three-row crossover in terms of design, comfort and safety, and the XC90 Recharge plug-in hybrid only improves the formula with both power and efficiency. Interestingly, with the gas motor powering the front axle and the e-motor powering the rear, the XC90 Recharge operates as a rear-wheel-drive car when only using electric power, and front-wheel-drive when only using gas. The powertrain is good for 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque, with a 5-second 0-60 time. It can travel 32 miles on electricity alone. Runner-up: Porsche Cayenne E-Hybrid Â Best mainstream plug-in hybrid large/midsize SUV: Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe Do you want an American PHEV with style, refinement and off-road capability? The Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe combines all that with a turbocharged 2.0-liter and electric motor good for 375 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, as well as an electric range of 26 miles. That means you can enjoy your favorite trails in near silence and make fewer trips to the gas pump on the way there. Runner-up: Kia Sorento Plug In-Hybrid Â Best luxury plug-in hybrid compact/subcompact SUV: Volvo XC60 Recharge Volvo borrows the formula from the XC90 and places it in a smaller package to get the XC60 Recharge. It has the same 455 horsepower and 523 pound-feet of torque, but it drops the 0-60 time to 4.5 seconds while offering 35 miles of electric range. You can even pony up for the Polestar Engineered trim to get the Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes, 21-inch forged wheels and unique styling.

2013 Porsche 911 RSR makes official debut

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Porsche is ready to go racing in 2013, showing off a new 911 RSR today that is scheduled to compete in several endurance events this year. Based on the current 991 911, the new RSR will compete in the 2013 season of the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will not, however, make an appearance in a North American racing series this year.
The 2013 version of the racecar has increased in wheelbase by some four inches, features a new wishbone front suspension in place of the last-generation's McPherson strut setup and boasts a new, lightweight six-speed racing gearbox. The engine, meanwhile, is an "optimized" version of last year's car, a 460-horsepower 4.0-liter boxer six-cylinder. Extensive use of carbon fiber and polycarbonate windows help the RSR shed weight, and Porsche has also balanced the weight more evenly with a lower center of gravity.
Porsche has thoughtfully dedicated some space to celebrate the 911's 50th Anniversary, with the number 50 clearly visible in the top-down view of the RSR, as well as along the doors. Scroll down to read the full Porsche press release, below.

2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...
