Title/ownership:

This porsche has a salvage Maryland title from some very minor damage that was done to the rear deck lid, tonneau cover, and taillight (See before pictures).  I believe a tree branch fell on it during one of the summer storms we had here in VA.  I have since replaced the rear deck lid, tonneau cover and taillight and the car looks as good as new (see current pictures).  There was no structural or hidden damage done to the car.  The new pieces match perfectly and since the replacement pieces were silver as well, the undersides are silver, so it looks like the car never had any damage.  I have the original window sticker and bill of sale for the car and it looks to have been a one owner Boxster sold from Heishmans Porsche in Arlington Va and has stayed in Alexandria VA its whole life with maintenance being done at Porsche of Arlington.  

Condition:

The body is very clean with no significant dings or dents that I can see.  The front bumper has a couple marks on the lower valance (see picture), but otherwise there is really no major imperfections to report.  The engine has great miles at 58k and starts right up with no smoke or leaking.  Clutch feels strong and the transmission shifts smoothly.  The interior is pretty clean with a little sun damage especially on the steering wheel, but with no tears or rips on the leather seats or carpeting.   The top looks almost new with a clear back window.  The sun visors still have their mirror doors and the center console hinge is NOT broken, both very common problems in these Porsches.  Rims are 17" with no significant curb rash and the tires have more than 50% tread life on them.  The keyless entry works great and there are three keys (two with remotes and one valet). There are no warning lights and everything on the car works.  I'm certain the car could be driven across country without issue.  It has a current VA inspection sticker on the windshield.  Its just a solid little car.  

Options:

The car has all the standard options as well as Traction control, Cruise control, and the dash computer.  These options are pretty rare on the 986 Boxster and especially the traction control comes in handy on wet or snowy roads.  Having three working keys is also pretty rare.  

Terms:

The car is sold as is where is with no warrantee  express or implied.  The car is sold with a Maryland Salvage title.  I require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of the close of the auction with the remaining funds due within one week.  The buyer will receive a Bill of Sale, title, mileage notification form, and salvage title notification form.  The car is located in Alexandria VA and is sold through a Utah dealership.  Any additional paperwork needed for the buyers state will be provided.

Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo

Wed, 11 Jun 2014

Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.

Porsche designer to head Lamborghini style department

Tue, Mar 1 2016

The winds of change are blowing through the front office in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Not only does Lamborghini have a new chief executive, but not it named a new chief designer as well. And he comes from Porsche. Mitja Borkert is his name, and he's been working in the Porsche design department since 1999. He headed up its advanced design office until 2014 when he was named head of exterior design for the company. The Macan, Cayenne, and the new 987 Boxster were all heavily influenced by his work, as were concepts like the Panamera Sport Turismo and Mission E. As the new director of the Centro Stile at Lamborghini, Borkert takes over from Felippo Perini, who's heading over to run Italdesign – a job that used to belong to Wolfgang Egger. The once-independent design firm was taken over by the Volkswagen Group in 2010, and recently saw its famous founder Giorgetto Giugiaro leave to start another office afresh. The shift in the design office follows hot on the heels of the announcement that longtime CEO Stephan Winkelmann is leaving for Audi's Quattro GmbH, and that former Scuderia Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali is moving in to take his place on the outskirts of Bologna. Considering how different their design approaches are, it will be interesting to see how a longtime Porsche designer applies his skills to Lamborghinis. Will future Raging Bulls go softer and more rounded, or will Borkert have to pull some new tricks out from his sleeve? We'll be watching to find out.

In his new role Mr. Borkert is responsible for the design of future Lamborghini models and the coordination of the design team, reporting to Maurizio Reggiani, Board Member for Research and Development. He succeeds Filippo Perini, who was appointed Design Director of Italdesign. Borkert is German, aged 42, and attended the Design University of Pforzheim where he graduated in Transportation Design. In 1999, he began work at Style Porsche, in Weissach, holding various positions, including General Manager Advanced Design until 2014, when he was appointed Director of Exterior Design. He contributed to the development of several Porsche models (Panamera Sport Turismo, Porsche Boxster 987 facelift, Cayenne, Macan, Mission e).

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW to test autonomous cars, Korea bans sales of BMW, Nissan, Porsche models

Thu, Jan 5 2017

BMW will test autonomous cars on public roads by the second half of 2017. The German automaker, with partners Mobileye and Intel, will operate a fleet of 40 self-driving vehicles using a "scalable architecture" that will be made available to other automakers. The partners plan to offer products ranging from key components to "a complete end-to-end solution" for autonomous driving. Since parting ways with Tesla, Mobileye also recently announced it would provide its technology to Lucid Motors. For BMW, it all leads up to its fully autonomous iNext model slated for introduction in 2021. See the video above, and read more in the press release from Intel. South Korea has banned the sale of certain models from BMW, Nissan, and Porsche over emissions cheating. Following an investigation, regulators determined emissions testing documents to be falsified. The country's Ministry of Environment has fined the three automakers a total of $5.9 million, and revoked the certification of 4,523 vehicles across banned 10 models. Six of the models were still on sale, while the other four have been discontinued. Read more from Automotive News Europe. China's prices for the Cadillac CT6 Plug-in are significantly higher than those announced for the US. The plug-in hybrid version of the luxury sedan recently went on sale with the two variants priced at RMB 558,800 and RMB 658,800. At the time of this writing, that's $80,420 and $94,812. Cadillac announced it would bring the CT6 Plug-In Í– which is built in China – to the US in the spring of 2017, starting at $76,090 before federal and local tax incentives. Hybrid Cars points out that China's own generous incentives could help to make it more competitive. The offering of a charger with free installation as well as an eight-year warranty on the electric powertrain should help, too. Read more at Hybrid Cars. A Connecticut court has ruled in favor of Tesla's gallery showroom in Greenwich. Last May, the Connecticut Automotive Retailers Association brought the suit to block the showroom on Greenwich Avenue, which has now been dismissed by the Connecticut Superior Court. Tesla cannot offer test drives, sell cars, or operate a Supercharger at the location, but it can sell other branded items and educate the public about its vehicles. It's possible that the issue of Tesla's direct sales model could come up again this year in Connecticut state legislature. Read more at Teslarati .
