2013 - Porsche Boxster on 2040-cars
Ragsdale, Indiana, United States
Infotainment Package with BOSE speaker system Premium Package Porsche Torque Vectoring PTV PDK Package 20" Carrera Wheels PASM Package Sport Chrono Package Sport Stearing Wheel Launch Controls Paddle Shifters Leather Premium Power Sport Seats Heated Seats Red Calipers Sport Mode Sport Plus Mode Sport Suspension Mode MSRP was $80,200!! I have the original window sticker. PLUS, I have already paid for all of the routine maintenance for the first 36,000 miles!...this transfers with the car along with the remaining Porsche warranty. I have looked online and have not been able to find another Boxster S Launch Edition with as many options as this one! There are three that come close, but are missing at least one option here or there. I am the original owner and purchased it new at Bluegrass Porsche in Louisville, KY. To tell you how loaded up this car is the MSRP was $80,200. You will notice it has the 20" 911 Wheels with red calipers and p-zero tires. The most impressive thing about this Boxster over any others is that it has Launch Controls. To active the Launch Controls you first put the car in "Sport Plus" mode (which also activates the racing suspension), then you hold the break down, put the gas pedal to the floor, wait a second for the "Launch" light to light up on the steering wheel..and then let off the gas!! I have only tried it one time and it was ridiculous. With that said, the car has NEVER been on a track or driven over 90 mph. I like all the bells and whistles, but in the end I just putz around town. The convertible top only takes 6 seconds to go up or down...and you can put it down anytime as long as you are going 25 mph or less. You will also notice in the pictures that it has Navigation (both on the screen and in a second screen next to the speedometer). The screen to the right of the speedometer scrolls between the radio, XM, iPod, Bluetooth, Phone, Navigation...it has a G-Force Gauge that measures the G-forces you are feeling in ANY direction in real time. There is also a track Chronometer in case you wanted to time yourself on a track or from 0-60. The seats are leather and are the 32-way adjustable seats (the top of the line that Porsche offers). The clock on the dash is also another track timer in addition to being a normal clock. Heated seats...XM Radio...Bluetooth, PCM "Porsche Control Management" system. There are three modes...normal...sport...and sport plus. In addition you can turn on the sport/track suspension anytime you like. The PDK Transmission is so smooth. You will notice that it has the sport steering wheel and the paddle shifters...which work better than any other car I have ever had. The car will allow you to use the paddle shifters anytime you want...but if it decides you need to shift, it will take over again automatically...this car can out think you and out shift you...there is no need to have a manual anymore. Of course it also has the premium BOSE stereo system with surround sound. I always keep it in the garage. When I purchased it, I paid for all of the routine scheduled maintenance for the first 36,000 miles. I also paid extra for the wheel and tire coverage. Since the tires are so low-profile (and expensive to replace) I wanted to make sure they were covered to be safe. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. I have additional photos I can share. I do not need to sell it, and as much as I appreciate a good low ball offer (because I have made a few of those myself in the past), I love it and would keep it rather than let it go for cheap. With this one being so nice, I deserves a good home with someone who is willing to pay a reasonable price for an awesome car! :) I have the original window sticker. I could only get 24 photos on eBay, but if you would like a copy of the window sticker I am happy to email it to you. If you are wondering why I am selling it...I have small kids and need something with a back seat. If you have a 2012 - 2014 BMW 6 Series Xdrive convertible and are looking to trade, let me know. I would also consider a newer Porsche Panamara, Audi S7, Mercedes 4matic (C, CLS, or S class). Cheers, John

Porsche CEO hints at Macan GTS, expects brand sales growth to 200K+
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Porsche is expecting big things from its little Macan, with CEO Matthias Mueller announcing that not only is a sportier GTS model being considered, but that the CUV will almost certainly help push Porsche beyond its 200,000-unit-per-year sales goal three years earlier than expected.
"We're transferring the genes of the Porsche brand into a new market segment," Mueller said during a speech to kick off Macan production, according to Automotive News Europe. Macan demand should push the brand past 200,000 sales, Mueller said, confirming what we reported back in August. And if Porsche really has a hit on its hands, it is able to boost production of the sporty crossover beyond its initial capacity of 50,000 units, according to the brand's CEO.
Provided that the Macan is the success Porsche hopes it will be, Mueller hinted that the range could expand beyond the initial Macan S and Macan Turbo. "GTS versions have a tradition at Porsche," Mueller said. "We haven't made a final decision yet regarding the Macan, but I'm sure it makes a lot of sense."
What do J.D. Power's quality ratings really measure?
Wed, Jun 24 2015Check these recently released J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) results. Do they raise any questions in your mind? Premium sports-car maker Porsche sits in first place for the third straight year, so are Porsches really the best-built cars in the U.S. market? Korean brands Kia and Hyundai are second and fourth, so are Korean vehicles suddenly better than their US, European, and Japanese competitors? Are workaday Chevrolets (seventh place) better than premium Buicks (11th), and Buicks better than luxury Cadillacs (21st), even though all are assembled in General Motors plants with the same processes and many shared parts? Are Japanese Acuras (26th) worse than German Volkswagens (24th)? And is "quality" really what it used to be (and what most perceive it to be), a measure of build excellence? Or has it evolved into much more a measure of likeability and ease of use? To properly analyze these widely watched results, we must first understand what IQS actually studies, and what the numerical scores really mean. First, as its name indicates, it's all about "initial" quality, measured by problems reported by new-vehicle owners in their first 90 days of ownership. If something breaks or falls off four months in, it doesn't count here. Second, the scores are problems per 100 vehicles, or PP100. So Power's 2015 IQS industry average of 112 PP100 translates to just 1.12 reported problems per vehicle. Third, no attempt is made to differentiate BIG problems from minor ones. Thus a transmission or engine failure counts the same as a squeaky glove box door, tricky phone pairing, inconsistent voice recognition, or anything else that annoys the owner. Traditionally, a high-quality vehicle is one that is well-bolted together. It doesn't leak, squeak, rattle, shed parts, show gaps between panels, or break down and leave you stranded. By this standard, there are very few poor-quality new vehicles in today's U.S. market. But what "quality" should not mean, is subjective likeability: ease of operation of the radio, climate controls, or seat adjusters, phone pairing, music downloading, sizes of touch pads on an infotainment screen, quickness of system response, or accuracy of voice-recognition. These are ergonomic "human factors" issues, not "quality" problems. Yet these kinds of pleasability issues are now dominating today's JDP "quality" ratings.
Porsche 911 already testing next refresh
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
