1999 Porsche Boxster 986 Ocean Blue Metallic / Savanna Biege - 5 Speed Manual with only 96k.


Offered for sale is an extra clean California Boxster in beautiful shape with zero accidents or stories. This life long California car was only imported to Minnesota by myself six months ago and passed a complete mechanical inspection by IPB Autosport at that time.  With several key service items just performed (listed below), this Boxster will give you long time enjoyment with no worries of expensive maintenance moving forward. Unexpected purchase of a third Porsche forces sale or I'd enjoy this beauty for many years to come; I looked at many Boxsters to find a nice, well maintained example.

Overall Condition: 

PAINT:  Gorgeous Ocean Blue Metallic paint has a deep rich showroom new shine. It was hard to capture in photographs just how stunning the car looks.  The nose has some minor stone chips from freeway driving and there are a few faint scratches found under careful scrutiny (too faint to be photographed), but overall, the paint is very nice. Hardtop has a 1" scratch on the driver's side. No rust.

INTERIOR:  Very clean Savanna Biege interior.  Rare factory heated seats that work well. Non-smoker. No fading on trim pieces.  Driver's seat shows minor wear from use, but no rips or tears in the leather.  E-brake plastic cover has a crack in it. Armrest needs new hinges (common and easy fix).  Overall, the interior retains a very "like new" look. 

DRIVING IMPRESSIONS:  Motor is very healthy pulling strong through the entire rev range. Silky smooth both hot/cold with no unusual noises. Car tracks straight down the road and does not pull while braking. Steering is razor sharp and the car still feels "tight".  Runs cool and never overheats. Nice crisp clutch engagement one of the best feeling gearboxes I've felt in an early Boxster. No warning lights illuminated on the dash and the air conditioning blows cold.  Overall, the car drives just as nice as cars with half the mileage.  The 2.5L flat six in these early Boxster's sounds absolutely amazing, a very mechanical sound reminiscent of the old air-cooled 911's, with a spine tingling exhaust note on full throttle. 

MAINTENANCE: Included will be service history from the previous owner (2003-2013) and the factory maintenance booklet with all appropriate dealership service stamps from the original owner (1999-2003).  This Boxster has been lovingly maintained and enthusiast owned for it's entire life, and it shows.  The 2.5 motor has the vastly superior dual-row IMS bearing and was not plagued with catastrophic failures like the newer models from 2000 on-wards. Have clean Carfax on hand. 

CONVERTIBLE TOP:  The Metropol Blue convertible top nicely accents the Ocean Blue Metallic paint. It's in good condition but shows minor wear from use. Functions flawlessly with no holes or major blemishes. Rubber trim is in good condition.  New rear window just sewn in before my purchase.  Included is the "red clip" which activates the interior motion sensor if you wish to leave the car unattended with the top down. 

ACCESSORIES/PRICE:  While I highly recommend the hardtop as a must have accessory for the Boxster, I understand it's not for everyone, thus I am willing to sell the vehicle without the hardtop for a discounted price.  I have two sets of wheels for the vehicle:  The original Boxster Design 17" Twists, and factory 16" M395 Five Spokes mounted with Pirelli Winter Sport Snow Tires (both pictured on the vehicle).  Buyer can pick which wheels come with the vehicle or I will include both sets for an agreed price. I will include everything if the "Buy Now" option is used. 

ABOUT ME:  As a PCA member, I have owned Porsche's for more than a decade and am a huge enthusiast of the marque. I understand how apprehensive buying a car sight unseen can be, and as a result I'm willing to work with potential buyers 100% by being available to answer questions via phone or email, take additional photographs, and to help arrange a PPI or shipping. I've tried to include photos of the vehicle in a variety of photographs with different lighting and backgrounds for the most accurate representation of how the car looks.  I bought this car sight unseen from California in June of 2013 and it exceeded my expectations.  Really wish I could keep it.



Vehicle is sold as-is, where-is, with no warranty expressed or implied.   Buyer is responsible for shipping and vehicle will not be released until funds have 100% cleared my bank. I am happy to assist potential buyers however possible in this endeavor.  $500.00 PayPal Deposite required within 24 hours of auction close. Full payment via cash, certified check, or wire transfer required within 7 days of auction close.  Vehicle is offered for sale locally thus I reserve the right to end this listing early.

Autoblog Minute: VW Q3 financial woes, 2015 Tokyo Motor Show

Fri, Oct 30 2015

Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. Copyright Office offers a ruling affecting car owners, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Consumer Reports pulls its Tesla recommendation, the U.S. copyright office offers a ruling that affects car owners and gear heads, VW gets hit hard with third-quarter losses, and lots of exciting news from Tokyo. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. After a week away testing vehicles for Autoblog's Tech of the Year award, we're back in the office to recap the week in automotive news. [00:00:30] One of the things you might have missed was Consumer Reports pulling its recommendation of Tesla's Model S sedan. The blemish for Tesla comes after a tally of reviews from customer surveys. The most common problem areas for the Model S as cited by survey takers included: the drivetrain, power equipment, charging equipment, body and sunroof squeaks, rattles, and leaks. So lots of stuff. Though they could not ignore a score of "worse-than-average", Consumer Reports still [00:01:00] highlighted the fact that the Model S was "the best performing car" they've ever tested. Telsa CEO Elon Musk took to social media to defend his sedans saying: "Consumer Reports reliability survey includes a lot of early production cars. Already addressed in new cars." And, "Tesla gets top rating of any company in service. Most important, CR says 97% of owners expect their next car to be a Tesla (the acid test)." In Financial news, Volkswagen took a hit and reported an operating loss of [00:01:30] $3.84 billion. This is the first such loss for VW in 15 years. Toyota reclaimed the crown as the world's largest automaker as well. It's important that it's not all doom and gloom for VW though in Q3. Sales revenues were up and the company's automotive division boasts $30 billion dollars in liquid assets. It's a sizable war chest that will no doubt come in handy, as the company has yet to feel the full brunt of the diesel emissions scandal. Good news for gear heads. The US copyright office [00:02:00] ruled in favor of mechanics and car owners by granting an exception to existing copyright law. The law was originally meant to prevent software pirating and bootlegging of Hollywood movies.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.

Porsche becomes first company to rent out Vatican's Sistine Chapel

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

We wouldn't go so far as to say God is a Porsche fan, but those in charge of one of the holiest Christian spots on our little blue marble are welcoming the German automaker into one of the religion's most revered and beautiful settings - the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. In so doing, Porsche will reportedly become the first company to rent out the holy hall for a corporate function.
Now, it's not like Pope Francis has signed off on Porsche doing do donuts in a 911 underneath Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam. Instead, the Vatican has rented out the home of the Papal Conclave to the Porsche Travel Club, which will host a classical music concert. The Travel Club organizes events and tours across Europe for Porsche enthusiasts, with the Vatican concert just one part of a tour of Rome.
According to Automotive News Europe, Porsche will sell 40 tickets - at 5,000 euros each ($6,379) - to the event, while the Vatican has confirmed that the Pope will not be in attendance.
