If you are looking for the nicest 1997 Porsche Boxster in the world this is it. Simply stunning color combination. Grand Prix White over Boxster Red FULL leather interior which includes the seats, dash and the insides of the doors. This car is HANDS DOWN the most IMPECCABLE Porsche you will find in the marketplace. This is a REAL NATIONAL CONCOURSE CHAMPION SEVERAL TIMES OVER!!!!! I have been collecting cars for over 25 years and have owned every High end sports, exotic and luxury car there is. I purchased this car only 2 months ago from the Porsche Club of America Regional Technical Chairman and thought I was ready for a new toy. I have only put 15 miles on the car since owning it and can tell you this is the quickest, tightest, best handling, best sounding and GORGEOUS car you will ever find for less than $20,000. Let alone the fact that anyone who walks up to it will mistake it for a new car. Being a father of 3 kids under the age of 5 I am a nervous wreck having it in the garage. I honestly thought that no one in the world was as OCD as I was about cars but trust me the previous owner is. This was his baby for the last 16 years and he was sick to his stomach selling it to me and now I feel even worse having to sell it to someone else. I can go on and on about how nice this car is but I would rather you refer to me feedback. The last sale was my 2007 Lexus LS460 with 18,000 miles on it. Those of you who truly understand what CONCOURSE QUALITY means will know and appreciate this car. I would prefer to sell it to someone who will truly care for it as the previous owner and myself have. The following paragraph below is the ad from the original owner on EBAY just 2 month ago. He is the most knowledgeable Porsche guy I have ever met and trust me I know many. His description is true and accurate and the car in person is nicer than the ad states. Please excuse my photos they are not the best because they are in the garage. You know the old saying "YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED". That truly is an understatement when it comes to this car. Please read the following description carefully. Please feel free to email me via eBay and I will gladly answer your questions. I will also happily text you specific photos if you include your phone number. All I ask is that you don't waste my time. This is NOT a BASE Boxster. This car has been tastefully modified and is way over built. If you think this is a fire sale it is not. If you want to insult me with a low ball offer I will not return your email. My asking price is very fair when you consider the miles, the condition and the added equipment to this car which would cost $ 20,000 without the car. I have been around cars since I was 3 and have sold thousands of cars throughout my career. If you treat me with respect you will get the same in return, it is really that simple. There is simply NOT ANOTHER CAR LIKE this in the world. 1997 Porsche Boxster, 8754 Miles. Perfect in every way. Grand Prix White with Boxster Red Full Leather Interior, Sport Package, TPC Supercharger making 5-6 lbs of boost. Approximately 275 HP at the rear wheels. 5-Speed Manual Transmission, H&R Full Coil-Over Suspension, B&B Polished Stainless Exhaust, 18" Porsche Sport Classic II Wheels with Michelins, Drilled Rotors, Pagid Orange Pads, Stainless Steel Brake Lines, Custom Built Rear Chassis Brace, Porsche Short Shifter with new style Porsche Shift Lever, Boost and AF Ratio Gauges.

This car was built for show only. Never beaten in any Porsche car show it was ever entered in. Fully detailed undercarriage, engine/transmission and suspension. Never driven in rain, never tracked and never damaged in any way. The car is simply stunning. Even the holes in the drilled rotors were painted black inside. All modifications work perfectly together and is fully emission compliant.

Simply put, this is THE nicest first year Boxster in the world...period.

If you are serious please feel free to call or text me at 616-813-2755. My name is Steve

Car is listed on other websites therefore I reserve the right to cancel at anytime

Porsche 918 Spyder already almost sold out?

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

Still planning on getting your hands on a Porsche 918 Spyder? You'd better act quickly, because word has it that the hybrid hypercar is nearly sold out.
While Porsche has reportedly only delivered a little over 30 of the 918 examples of the Spyder it plans to manufacture in total, Automotive News says that production is sold out through late March or early April - just a few months shy of when production is set to wrap in July.
That's pretty impressive for a car with a base price of almost $850,000, especially one requiring a $200,000 deposit just to get your name on the list. Still, that sum is significantly less than its competitors get for the McLaren P1 or LaFerrari, both of which sell for over a million (if you can actually get on one at that price), though in fairness, production of each is limited to less than half of the 918 Spyder.

$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.
