Selling our 2000 Porsche Boxster. I bought this for my wife for something fun to drive because her job consists of a lot of local driving but she doesn't really like it and wants something different. She had her heart set on a Red BMW. This is a 13 year old car but it is in good condition. Tinted left and right Windows. It does have some rock chips here and there and a couple of small scratches. There is a couple of scuffs on the each bumper but they are not very noticeable. The convertible top is electric and operates as it should. It has had a new back window installed in the top I would assume since these cars came with plastic back windows that the original windows had probably became faded and discolored over time. I did notice a very small leak after driving in the rain but it was an amount about the size of a quarter. Again.. this is a 13 year old all original exotic sports car. There are some slight wear marks on the top where it rubs together while driving with the top down. This is normal for convertibles. The interior is very nice with only minor wear showing on the drivers seat and arm rests. It has a cd player and the original radio displays the station ID and song title. The cigarette lighter does not work. The wife while driving the car recently had the key come apart in her pocket and lost the transmitter for the keyless entry which I read is another common problem with this model. I have not replaced it but I see them available on EBay. I have all the service records since the car was purchased new. Since I have owned this Porsche I have fixed a couple of minor service items. I changed the oil and oil filter, I do this on any used car I buy. The oil change is good for 11,000 miles according to Porsche. I replaced the Air/Oil Separator which is a part known to fail on this model car. Very easy to change this part and was around $150 for parts. I also replaced the front sway bar links which are wear items on the front suspension. They were worn. They were only $30 a piece. The A/C works as it should. This is a clean car for its age and is very fun to drive with quick acceleration and tight steering. Clutch is smooth and was replaced at around 80,000 If you have never owned a Porsche, I highly suggest reading some online forums about this model car. As with any car, the Porsche Boxster's do have their own little quirks. The online forums are a great resource for owners and enthusiast to get valuable information about the car they own or want to purchase and can even save you thousands of dollars by troubleshooting small problems yourself. There is a lot of maintenance that can that an average person can perform. I have read a lot in the forums and the information provided by other owners can definitely help with tips on everything from cleaning the car to best places for service or step by step instructions for do it yourself people. After writing this, it seems sad to have to list out every flaw that this car might have so as not to be misleading to a potential buyer but what I think gets lost is that this is a Porsche and it is exciting to own and drive. Every time we have friends over or take it for a drive we always wind up talking about the car and everyone wants to sit in it. With the top down, there is very minimal wind on the passengers and I can hear while on my cell phone just fine. The design of this car and its interior is excellent for cancelling out outside noise when driving with the top down. The car will sell itself.. it is beautiful.
Quick Facts:
Brakes are good. no squeaks of any kind.
Good tread left on tires.
Ac works normal and is cold.
Electric top and windows work normal.
Clear title
All original paint as far as I can tell. No accidents reported on Vehicle history report.
No known fluid leaks. *** I would consider a fluid leak to mean a major leak that could be noticed after the car has sat parked on a driveway. All cars leak some kind of fluid at some joint or gasket at some point. A normal leak would not be considered a defect.
There are no warning lights on after vehicle system self check. *** I would consider all electrical systems that are monitored by the vehicles computer are operating normally. This would include: The check engine light, The air bag system, The brake system, Oil pressure,
Quiet ride even with the top down.
Clutch is smooth and this car shifts very easy. Clutch was replaced around 80,000 miles. I have the receipt.
Very quick acceleration.
I have records from the previous owner for all service they had performed also. Almost the whole history of the car.
I am including this section to fully disclose any known issues or flaws with my car as to not to mislead any potential buyer. This is a 13 year old exotic sports car and it is not perfect.
Quick Facts about any known flaws or issues with this car:
in no particular order:
Both bumpers have some scuffing and minor damage to the plastic on them. The front bumper is scuffing is in the middle of the bumper and the rear bumper has scuffing on both sides.
There are rock chips on the hood and fenders. ** I would consider this normal for any car.**
The headlights are slightly yellowing. ** I would consider this normal for a car this age **
The convertible top shows rubbing marks from vibration during top down driving. ** normal for most convertible cars **
The back plastic window has been replaced. ** I have noticed very small leak of water, I would imagine high pressure water from a machine car wash would cause leaking also. **
The shocks that hold up the hood and trunk lid would need replaced if you plan to use the storage space frequently. They are worn out and do not hold. ** I do not use the storage space much so I was not concerned.**
The Drivers seat does show slight wear on the side closest to the door. ** I would guess this is from entry and exit **
The arm rest on both doors has some off whatever coating is on them wearing off.. very slight.
One wheel appears to have slight curbing damage. ** see photo **
Sometimes after a short trip there will be a few seconds of bluish smoke from the rear of the car at the next start up. ** This is one of a Boxster's quirks and is normal. It happens because of the engine design of flat six and sometimes oil will puddle and get burnt off at startup. Read about this in the online forums. **
Wife lost remote transmitter portion of the remote key control. Comes with 2 keys. Only 1 key has the remote feature.
The leather on the shifter knob has started to peel off.. ** see photo **
The last thing I would mention but I have been unable to tell if this is an issue or just the design of the car. I notice that the dash will stay lit up after shutting the car off and exiting. They go off after locking the car. I have read that this is normal and the lights will go off after a few minutes if the car is not locked but I have also read that the ignition switch could be faulty. This is described in the online forums as another Boxster quirk. My only concern with this would be the battery draining if I forgot to lock the car after driving such as when parked in the garage. I keep forgetting to test the going off after a few minutes theory and have just gotten in the habit of locking the car each time.
I have tried to describe my Porsche as best as possible. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. Please contact me if you need special arrangements made for pickup BEFORE bidding! I will be glad to take any additional photo's and email. I would also gladly answer any questions via email or phone. If you are a serious buyer please email me and give me a number to contact you and a good time to call. The remainder of purchase price must be made in cash when vehicle is picked up.
This vehicle is also available for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction should I sell it locally. The mileage will also go up. I reserve the right to drive the vehicle as needed. The mileage is will not remain 123466.

Aston Martin renames Vantage GT3 after Porsche throws hissy fit
Mon, Mar 23 2015Porsche has a long history of using the name "GT3" for its hardcore, naturally aspirated 911 models, and that means it's certainly not going to share it with the likes of Aston Martin. See, it seems the arrival of the Aston Martin Vantage GT3 at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show didn't sit well with Stuttgart, which opted to lawyer up. According to Goodwood Road and Racing, attorneys from both sides of the Channel have been in discussion for months over the issue, with Porsche arguing it's been using the GT3 name since 1999, and that makes it theirs. Aston, though, argues that the FIA GT3 racing series makes the name fair game for road cars. Moreover, the Brits point out that the alphanumeric was in use well before Porsche got its mitts on it – GRR rightly points out the Lotus Esprit GT3 hit the streets three years before the 996 GT3. And while we're on the subject, Bentley has its own GT3, but we're guessing its status as one of Porsche's siblings means its immune to this kind of squabbling. Rather than getting into a knock-down, drag-out courtroom brawl with one of the Volkswagen Group's prized brands, though, Aston has taken the high road. The company will rechristen both the road-going Vantage GT3 and Vantage racer as the GT12. While Porsche is no stranger to aggressively protecting what it views as its closely held vehicle names, we have to admit, it seems like Aston actually has something of a case. Do you think the Brits were right to settle and change the Vantage's name, or should they have taken the fight to Porsche? Have your say in Comments.

Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it.

Le Mans-winning Porsche 935 K3 'seized' by DEA agents
Thu, 16 Jan 2014Porsche has won Le Mans more than any other marque, but only one of those overall race winners was actually based on a 911. That was the 1979 Porsche 935 K3, chassis number 009 00015 that was entered by brothers Don and Bill Whittington. It went on to win at the Nürburgring and Watkins Glen, and scored podium finishes at Sebring and Brands Hatch as well. In short, it's a historically significant and hugely valuable piece of motorsport history. And it was just seized by the DEA. Sorta.
After the Whittington brothers ran afoul of a handful of lawsuits and were implicated in smuggling narcotics, the car changed hands a few times before ending up in the noted collection of one Bruce Meyers. He had it at Laguna Seca earlier this month when a black Suburban, Dodge Charger and transporter truck pulled up with government plates, asked to speak with Meyer, presented him with a court order, loaded the car onto the truck and drove off.
Though familiar with the legal disputes surrounding the ownership of the car and the misdeeds of its famous original owners, Meyer was left understandably distraught over the events that had just unfolded in front of him to separate him from his pride and joy. (Or one of them, anyway; Bruce has got an eminently desirable collection of classic cars.) But here's the kicker: those DEA agents weren't actual DEA agents. Fortunately they weren't thieves, either. The actual story could have been the plot right out of Ocean's 14 if they ever made one and it focused on classic cars. (Is anyone in Hollywood listening?)
