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.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911

Fri, 23 May 2014

Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.

New details mooted about Porsche's '988' Ferrari rival

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

We could be on the verge of a big expansion at everyone's favorite rear-engined German sports car manufacturer. Porsche is allegedly preparing a four-car assault that will be led by a proper challenger to the Ferrari 458 Italia (sorry 911).
Code-named "988," the new model will reportedly feature a mid-engined layout and, get this: a flat-8. Autocar, which has the story, expects that engine to displace about 4.0 liters, while the car itself will draw styling inspiration from the 918 Spyder. 600 ponies and over 400 super-accessible pound-feet of torque should be on tap with the new mill.
Joining the 988's supposed eight-cylinder is a new family of four- and six-cylinder boxer engines that Autocar claims will have a focus on power density and fuel economy. These new mills will be available in naturally aspirated, turbocharged and hybrid forms.
