1999 - Porsche Boxster on 2040-cars
Hayward, California, United States
This 1999 Porsche Boxster will amaze you at multiple levels: It moves very aggressively, but with precision. It draws attention at every boulevard stop, while cruising PCH or on the FRWY at rush hour, while those around you should have both their eyes on the road. I promise . . . you'll get more attention in a week than in my BMW X5 in 6 months. The car runs as designed, the roof does not leak and it stops on a dime. I am selling the car because I have 3 children. I bought it as gift to myself, for turning 50, but it does not fit my family lifestyle. The kids LOVE it and so do I, but I can only drive with one at a time. In addition, I work a few miles from home and as a result, the car sits idle in my garage with an appetite for the road it well deserves. I don't trust it in the company parking lot, I prefer to keep it free of dings, nor do I care for it sitting in the sun with stuff falling from the pine trees. I have pampered it since day one . . . thank YOU!! power seats, power windows, power locks, power rear view mirrors, power roof(top down-top up), cruise control, am/fm radio with cd player, leather seats, 5 speed manual transmission, black inside, outside and above. no accidents, clear title, clean car fax, newer tires, almost new interior floor mats, clear interior wind deflector, clear rear vinyl window with a very smooth idle, acceleration and overall performance. Please ask any questions that come to mind. Dear tuesdaycameras, Presently own a 911s just a great car, saw yours and am very interested, a few questions, the engine, trans,and driveline, any issues? Oil leaks? Any oil spots on garage floor? The trans any issues up and down while shifting? Any issues with the drive train any noises? Maintenance records available? Has a smog inspection been done within the last 90 days? The driver seat can't quite tell but looks cracked? And as far as driving, mostly in the city or open road?-tx - mkerns8gnh Yes, the driver's car seat shows signs of fatigue, but that was done by the previous owner who was handicapped. He drove it for a small time and found it to be uncomfortable. The engine, trans and drive train are free of any issues. No real oil spots on the garage floor, but then you can inspect the garage floor firsthand. There are no formal maintenance records, because I have a private mechanic: I own a 2001 BMW X5, a 2010 Prius, a 2005 VW Passat, a 1965 Chevy Pick Up, 1991 Mercedes, a 1956 Ford Pick up, along with the Boxster in question,so taking them to a Dealer is not a practical option I can afford. The drive train is free of noises and it shifts up and down smoothly free of any odd sounds. No smog has been done recently, but I can provide that upon sale. I have only driven it on the highway to destinations away from home with my 77 year old mother or kids to grab dinner or a frozen yogurt by the beach. I don't waste mileage cruising around locally, instead I use my 1991 Mercedes to do the bulk of my travels. The Mercedes just reached 300,000 miles on Friday October 3rd and you can use this as testimony towards the mechanical condition of the vehicles I own. Your welcome to come by and check it out for yourself . . . thank Y O U !! I have attached some photos of my 1991 300CE Mercedes with a proud 300,000 miles, thanks again for your interest. FREE!

Porsche 911 GT3 RS facing delay over GT3 fire problems?
Mon, 24 Mar 2014Porsche has never been afraid to introduce variants of its cars. However, its even higher spec, next-generation 911 GT3 RS may be delayed from its planned launch this summer while the engines in the standard GT3s (pictured above) are replaced.
A delay isn't certain, but executives want to make sure the high-strung mill is no longer a problem before they press forward with another model using it. Germany's Auto Motor und Sport asked Porsche CEO Matthias Müller about pushing back the launch, and he responded that it was too early to say. The company's current focus is making sure the engines get fixed and working on internal measures to prevent this kind of flaw in the future.
When fires claimed two 911 GT3s in Europe, Porsche initially stopped the model's sales and asked owners to stop driving them. It finally diagnosed the blazes as being caused by a loose screw on a connecting rod, which then resulted in crankcase damage and an oil leak. The company is replacing the engines on all 785 affected cars. A source told Autoblog that under 200 customers were actually affected, and the other cars were either at port or dealer lots. Hopefully, the recall doesn't postpone the road-going GT3 RS too far because we want to see what Porsche has up its sleeve.
VW Group recalls 27k Touaregs, Audis and Porsches for fuel leak
Tue, Jan 27 2015The Volkswagen Group is one of the most expansive in the entire industry, and shares parts across more product lines than we could wrap our heads around. So when the German megalith finds a fault in one of its components, it has the capacity to spread like wildfire. The latest set of recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration covers vehicles from the Volkswagen, Audi and Porsche divisions. The problem revolves around the fuel injection system, which could potentially leak and cause a fire. The recall affects – deep breath now – the 2012 VW Touareg Hybrid, the 2011-12 Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid and Panamera S Hybrid, 2011-12 Audi S4, S5 and Q7 and the 2012-13 Audi A7. All told, that amounts to 27,376 units, the owners of which can expect to hear from the manufacturer to have the fuel rails replaced, along with their corresponding seals (having nothing to do with marine mammals writing letters). RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System Fuel Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V019000 Component(s): FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,008 Manufacturer: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. SUMMARY: Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Audi S4, S5, Q7, 2012 Audi A6, Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid, and 2012-2013 Audi A7 vehicles. In the affected vehicles the fuel injection system may experience a fuel leak. CONSEQUENCE: A fuel leak in the injection system in the presence of an ignition source, increases the risk of a fire. REMEDY: Volkswagen will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel rails and corresponding seals, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 10, 2015. Owners may contact Audi customer service at 1-800-822-2834 or Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298. Volkswagen's numbers for this recall are 24AP for Audi customers and 24BK for Volkswagen customers. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. ### RECALL Subject : Fuel Injection System may Leak Report Receipt Date: JAN 20, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V016000 Component(s): ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Potential Number of Units Affected: 1,368 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory
Thu, 09 Oct 2014As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.
