Enjoy all the goodness, simplicity, and purity of a mid-engined Porsche roadster in this rare, lightly optioned 2005 Boxster (987), unfiltered or weighed down by the tech options that most of these cars were saddled with (and that are prone to break or require more expensive maintenance down the road).
- Options: Bose Premium Sound System, Cayman 18" wheels, Porsche short-shifter, Porsche Tequipment exhaust finishers, heated leather seats. Also features a professionally installed Kenwood-Garmin navigation system with SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Bluetooth phone and music streaming, iPod/iPhone connectivity, and CD player.
- Only 57,601 carefully driven miles. Always garaged, no dents or dings, never tracked or raced, meticulously maintained (oil changes every 5k miles), never wrecked. Continental tires have approximately 70% tread remaining. No curb rash on the wheels, just a few small nicks on one wheel.
- Imperfections: The finish on the A/C fan speed switch is a little worn (common issue for 987s), there is a star in the windshield at bottom of passenger side (fixed), a few small chips in the paint on the driver door (touched up), and the top has a two small chafe spots (cosmetic only, also common on Boxsters).
- Service in the last 5,000 miles: New clutch, throw-out bearing, pilot bearing, pressure plate, resurfaced flywheel, replaced rear main seal (RMS) with upgraded design (preventative; wasn't leaking), new gearbox oil (Porsche), new spark plugs, replaced engine drive belt, oil change (Motul 5W40), new engine air filter and cabin air filter. Needs nothing. Ready for a summer drive.
- This late-build 987 Boxster (April 2005) was built at Porsche's home factory in Stuttgart, Germany (not Finland, where many Boxsters are manufactured under contract). It was built after the factory transitioned from the problem-prone M96 IMS bearing design found in the 986 cars to a new, more robust M97 engine IMS bearing. This Boxster has the later, improved M97 IMS bearing.

Porsche planning more plug-ins
Mon, Jan 5 2015Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.
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.

Porsche 918 Spyder debuts with new N"urburgring lap record [w/video]
Tue, 10 Sep 2013It's been a long time in the making, but Porsche has finally revealed the final production version of its long-awaited 918 Spyder here at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And yet that's not even the big news surrounding the hybrid hypercar.
No, the big news is that, while Porsche was preparing taking the wraps off the car here in Frankfurt, elsewhere in Germany a team was setting a blistering lap time at the Nürburgring. And not just any blistering lap time, but a new world record.
Porsche claims that, on the morning of September 4, a team of three drivers (including former rally champ Walter Röhrl and Porsche test drivers Timo Kluck and Marc Lieb) broke the Nordschleife lap record, Lieb finally setting the best time at 6:57 at an average of 111 miles per hour.
