2001 Porsche Boxster S (986S) with 115k miles. Very clean and fully serviced at 109k miles, oil was also changed again with Mobil 1 last month (<500 miles ago). I personally inspected the oil filter and sent the oil to be analyzed.
The Boxster S upgrades over the base model: • 247hp 3.2L engine, the base engine is much slower • 6 speed manual transmission • dual exhaust • different front bumper • the "Big Red" Porsche brakes Looks and drives like a car with less than half the miles! Runs and drives very smooth. The pre-purchase inspection was preformed by German Motor Werks, where the car was given a clean bill of health. Anything that was found, has been taken care of. A nicely equipped S, that clearly has had a good life. Never been in the snow or salt. No issues, no leaks, no stories, just a wonderful driving Porsche Boxster S that needs nothing. This Porsche is faster, smoother, and drives nicer than comparable S2000's and MX5's. Here is the work that was just completed: • Brakes -- Rotors and pads front and rear. • New spark plugs. • All new belts. • All new fluids -- cooling system, brake fluid, transmission fluid and oil. The last two done with synthetic oil. • New Bilstein HD shocks and a new alignment, which is the best thing to do when you change any suspension parts. • Drain plugs/channel under the top has been thoroughly cleaned so they drain properly. A common thing that is not done on these cars. • Front bumper removed so they could properly clean out the front radiators. This Porsche Boxster S has: • power convertible top in great shape, crystal clear rear window • matching set of Continental DWS high performance all season tires • power everything • cruise control • cold AC • cd player Youtube walk around video here: http://youtu.be/HgmLh3VxCd4 Available for inspection near Elgin, IL. 847-417-5611 I will be throwing in the book "101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster" by Wayne R. Dempsey to the highest bidder. |

Porsche 960 could come with quad-turbo flat-eight engine
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Getting a bead on the target that is the so-called Porsche 960 is not easy, as the target keeps moving. First labeled the 960, then the 961, and now back to being called the 960, it is Porsche's take on a supercar specifically aimed at Ferrari - the latest report in Automobile says that Porsche's internal moniker for it is "FeFi," which stands for "Ferrari Fighter." Because it is expected to cost as much as the top-tier V12 Ferrari, Porsche wants the engine solution to justify the price tag. That means, according to author Georg Kacher, a 3.9-liter, quad-turbo flat-eight engine with 650 horsepower.
Last summer, the engine was mooted to be a twin-turbo flat six. A few months later, the rumor was that it would use the 4.6-liter V8 from the 918 and have about 570 horsepower. This new mid-engine configuration would be quite the leap, giving the 960 more power than the 918 Spyder (pictured) and 911 GT2 RS, and utilize other tech features like four adjustable camshafts and "a complex multistage intake manifold." In this scenario, power would be run through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel drive.
Build materials are still slated to be a hodgepodge of materials including aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, titanium and magnesium. The boosted flat-eight, all-wheel drive and a 3,000-pound weight could get the 960 from zero to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. Since it is looking squarely at Ferrari, the idea that the 960 will be a "four-door coupe" can probably be put to rest. For now.
Magnus Walker pops up again, this time with his Irish Green 911
Sun, 06 Oct 2013He was the subject of a short film called Urban Outlaw. He has been on Jay Leno's Garage. Twice. He even graced the cover of Road & Track in June. And after all of that, he appeared in a video by Hong Kong-based Silly Thing. So it isn't really surprising that Magnus Walker is at the center of attention in the latest video from XCAR, but it's surprising - and a treat - to see his mostly original Irish Green 1966 Porsche 911.
Powered by an air-cooled 2.0-liter flat six with 130 horsepower (more like 120 hp today, Walker says), riding on 5.5-inch wide wheels and turned with a wooden steering wheel, the little green 911 does represent some of the best aspects of classic car motoring.
Head on below to watch the long-form video on Walker and his Porsche, but if your time is limited, you're not missing much if you call it quits at five minutes - especially if you've seen his aforementioned videos before.
Porsche undecided on new 911 GT2 [w/poll]
Thu, 23 Jan 2014Fans of hardcore 911s had it pretty good with the last 997 generation. There was the GT3, GT3 RS, GT3 RS 4.0, GT2 and GT2 RS (pictured above). Each one was faster, more powerful and more expensive than the one below it, but what they all shared was what Porsche purists love most: rear engine, rear drive, a manual transmission and little else.
So far with the new 991, Porsche has only released a GT3 version. Sure, there have been other models, but they're all decidedly more luxurious and less performance-focused. And as impressive a machine as the new GT3 is, it has run the risk of alienating some of its most ardent fanatics with technological interference in the form of a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and four-wheel steering. So what those purists have really been looking forward to is a more hardcore GT3 RS or new GT2. But those may not be coming so quickly.
Speaking with 911 project chief August Achleitner, Car and Driver reports that a new GT2 is anything but a foregone conclusion. The reasons may be partially political, but could be technical in nature as well: with 560 horsepower driving all four wheels, the new 911 Turbo S runs the 0-60 in less than three seconds. Give it more power but less traction, as Porsche has done with past GT2s, and you may not end up seeing an actual improvement in performance. A GT2 that's slower than the Turbo S would be difficult to explain.
