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.

Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office

Wed, 26 Dec 2012

A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen.
The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams. Behind that, the door handles have been swapped from horizontal latches on the door to vertical openings located just behind the door shutline.
We've also seen a Martini-liveried version of the 918 Spyder that has extra carbon elements that don't appear on this car. It was at the Nürburgring with carbon lips on the front fenders and another carbon element that hung from the rear fenders and ran down to the rear diffuser. When we saw the car on our Deep Dive piece, the front lips were gone but that rear piece remained, and we can't tell from the brochure and options sheet that we've seen so far what it comes with. The wheels from the concept and the green brake calipers, minus the polycarbonate covers, should be the standard fitment while the ten-spoke magnesium wheels will be a 29,750-euro (about $39,000 US) option.

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.

Malaise Era All-Stars

Fri, 17 May 2013

A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
