Pristine Porsche Boxster S (986s) 3.2l 6 Speed Manual Meridian Silver on 2040-cars
Dundee, Illinois, United States
2001 Porsche Boxster S (986S) with 115k miles. Very clean and fully serviced at 109k miles, oil was also changed again with Mobil 1 last month (<500 miles ago). I personally inspected the oil filter and it was clean. Looks and drives like a car with less than half the miles! Runs and drives very smooth. The pre-purchase inspection was preformed by German Motor Werks, where the car was given a clean bill of health. Anything that was found, has been taken care of. A nicely equipped S, that clearly has had a good life. Never been in the snow or salt. No issues, no leaks, no stories, just a wonderful driving Porsche Boxster S that needs nothing. This Porsche is faster, smoother, and drives nicer than comparable S2000's and MX5's.
Here is the work that was just completed: • Brakes -- Rotors and pads front and rear. • New spark plugs. • All new belts. • All new fluids -- cooling system, brake fluid, transmission fluid and oil. The last two done with synthetic oil. • New Bilstein HD shocks and a new alignment, which is the best thing to do when you change any suspension parts. • Drain plugs/channel under the top has been thoroughly cleaned so they drain properly. A common thing that is not done on these cars. • Front bumper removed so they could properly clean out the front radiators. Boxster S upgrades over the base model: • 247hp 3.2L engine • 6 speed manual transmission • dual exhaust • different front bumper • the "Big Red" Porsche brakes This Porsche Boxster S has: • power convertible top in great shape, crystal clear rear window • matching set of Continental DWS high performance all season tires • power everything • cruise control • cold AC • cd player Youtube walk around video here: http://youtu.be/HgmLh3VxCd4 Available for inspection and test drives near Elgin, IL. Please contact me at loudes13 at yahoo or 8474175611 (after 5pm) for more details. I will be throwing in the book "101 Projects for Your Porsche Boxster" by Wayne R. Dempsey to the highest bidder. |

1974 Porsche 914 EV conversion still looks good
Thu, Jan 23 2014Looking through the pages of the EV Album is a great way to learn about the breadth and depth of the electric vehicle community. Branching well beyond the three dozen or so electric vehicles that are currently sold by major automakers in the US, EV Album showcases lots of DIY conversions of all types. A 1995 Fiat Cinquecento? Check. A 1992 Kewet Eljet 2? No problem. The site's old-fashioned looks (it was started in 1997) show just how long people have been passionate about their EVs. Many of the cars are throwbacks to a previous time and we found a prime example of that, a converted 1974 Porsche 914 (EV Album page here) this week. Now powered by a Prestolite MTC4001 Series Wound DC motor and some flooded nickel-cadmium batteries, the 914 has a top speed of 80 miles per hour and a range of 35 miles. But only "if you are taking it easy," of course. The motor has a peak output of 60 horsepower and 25 hp continuous. Converted over 600 hours (!) to electric power at a cost of $10,000, it is now owned by Charlie Garlow of Maryland. The car is on display at the Washington Auto Show this week and serves as a great reminder of what most EV drivers used to have to do to drive emissions free.

Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
Porsche Cayenne shows a bit more face, plug-in spotted
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Porsche was first rumored to be working on a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version of the Cayenne over a year ago. However, we had never seen it, until now. The new model was caught almost completely undisguised while testing. In another stroke of luck, we got a glimpse of the upcoming facelift for Porsche's SUV (pictured above) as well.
According to the spy shooter, it was windy during the cars' cold weather testing. The cover blew off of the facelifted Cayenne, and there was enough time to snap these pictures before it could be hidden again. The changes are all quite minor but jive with what we saw the last time it was spied. The rear still wears some cladding but is expected to be hiding lights similar to the Macan.
The second gallery shows off the upcoming Cayenne PHEV. It looks nearly identical to the standard model, except for the extra panel on the driver's side of the car that hides the electric port. One image even shows the car plugged in. The new version is expected to use the same supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 9.4-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery pack with a combined 416 horsepower and 435 pound-feet of torque from the Panamera S E-Hybrid. We enjoyed the system when we tested it last year. It's rumored to debut on the SUV sometime this year.
