2000 Porsche Boxster – VIN WP0CA2980YU623993

For your consideration is my happy little unmolested 2000 Porsche Boxster – the car that brought Porsche motoring back to the masses. This car has not been restored in any way, shape, or form, but is an excellent low mileage driver and gets “thumbs-up” and positive comments everywhere we go.

I purchased this car from one of the local Porsche franchise dealers where it had been traded-in by the second owner on a new Porsche. I was surprised to find a 13 year-old car like this on a new car dealer's lot, but once I looked it over I understood why -it's truly a standout example, and one I thought I'd never find after looking at a lot of used and abused Boxsters - and it came with a clean CarFax to boot!  This one had clearly been loved!  Wearing just over 72,000 miles, I bought it as a fun weekend runabout. As a freelance automotive journalist, I’m now on to my next project.  I am also thinning the herd.  I have 2 factory keys and two file folders full of records along with the original manuals.  It comes with 17" Carrera alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering whee and seats, power windows, locks and top, CD changer, and a Porsche OEM car cover. 

In the last few thousand miles it has received: 1) new clutch; 2) oil and filter change; 3) main motor mount; 4) Continental performance all-season DWS tires. The OEM convertible top is in very nice condition.

On the inside, this car is in excellent condition, not having suffered from the interior trim cracking and seat seam splits that plague so many Boxsters. There are no foul odors, and the carpets and new OEM floor mats are in good condition.  The original radio/cassette, CD changer, heater, and air conditioning all work perfectly, and the car recently passed the stringent Virginia safety inspection (good through 10/15). 

Outside, the car is remarkably straight save for a few very small parking lot dings. The speed yellow paint is in remarkable condition , and the doors shut perfectly.  All of the lenses are in good, clear condition. The alloy wheels are in very nice condition, save for the right rear wheel which shows some kerbing on the lip, and the original spare tire and tool kit are in the front trunk.

The motor starts easily and settles to a very smooth idle. The power steering functions properly, and the 5-speed manual transmission (no Tiptronic here!) shifts as smoothly as any Porsche I’ve driven (including a new 911S Carrera 7-speed!). There are no odd noises or whines from the driveline. The new clutch takes-up properly and the car does not smoke irregularly. The brakes are in good condition and do not pull. The brake pedal is appropriately firm. 

Please keep in mind that this is not a new vehicle and that it is sold as-is, where-is with no warrantees implied, stated, or otherwise intended.  You are bidding to own this vehicle, not to come and look at it after the auction has ended.  I encourage bidders to come and see the car if possible.  You are welcome to have the car inspected at your expense prior to the conclusion of the auction.  Remember, my descriptions are based on my knowledge of the car.  I cannot say that it is without flaws.  I don't care what classic car you are looking at, it will have flaws.  I can assure you that this is a superb car that you can cherish for years to come.  

A non-refundable deposit of $1000 must be sent by PayPal within 24 hours of the conclusion of the auction.  The balance must be paid within seven days of the end of the auction or upon pick-up of the car, whichever is earlier. The balance of the purchase price may NOT be made by PayPal. I will accept cash, bank wire transfer, or cashier's check only.  Purchaser is responsible for pick-up or all costs related to the shipping of the car. 

PLEASE BE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR BID.  IF YOU HAVE ZERO OR NEGATIVE FEEDBACK, YOU MUST CONTACT ME THROUGH EBAY PRIOR TO BIDDING.  I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID IF YOU DO NOT.   DO NOT BID ON THE CAR UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED TO PURCHASE IT AS YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A BINDING AGREEMENT.  IF YOU FAIL TO COME AND SEE THE CAR OR HAVE IT INSPECTED BY YOUR AGENT, I WILL NOT ENTERTAIN YOU CANCELLING THE SALE FOR ANY REASON ONCE THE AUCTION HAS ENDED.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION EARLY.  I WILL ENTERTAIN SERIOUS OFFERS TO END THE AUCTION EARLY.  I WILL ALSO ASSIST PURCHASER IN ARRANGING SHIPPING TO ANY PLACE IN THE WORLD AT THE PURCHASER'S EXPENSE.

Thank you for looking!

Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S in unusual lux showdown

Fri, 07 Nov 2014

We'll admit it, we're really looking forward to more time with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Compared to other high-dollar luxury coupes - we're looking at you Bentley Continental GT - it's more stylish, easily more affordable, and since it's a Mercedes, lacks the sense of fragility that comes with a more exotic name plate.
Auto Express has taken a whack at reviewing the new two-door S-Class, and for some reason, the British mag is comparing it with a Porsche Panamera. Now, while comparing the looks of an S-Class Coupe and a Panamera is a bit like holding a beauty contest between Kate Upton and Medusa, this isn't as bizarre a pair as you might think, particularly when you opt for the high-dollar S63 AMG Coupe and the Panamera Turbo S.
The two offer similar power outputs from their force-induced V8s - 577 horsepower in the Benz and 570 horsepower in the Porsche - and are even similar in terms of interior and exterior dimensions. The S-Class actually has an extra inch between the axles and is 1.2 inches longer overall (it's also about 300 pounds heavier). In the cabin, the S-Class also has a tiny bit more rear legroom, with 33.4 inches to the Panamera's 33.3.

$76,400 Porsche S E-Hybrid will debut in Paris

Fri, Sep 26 2014

The 2015 Porsche Cayenne S E Hybrid will be an all-new model, one that adds a plug – and the required associated technological bits – to the currently available Cayenne S Hybrid. The most important of those bits is a 10.8-kWh lithium-ion battery, but Porsche's Calvin Kim told AutoblogGreen that the SUV's electric-only range is still pending certification, but Hybrid Cars says that Porsche is estimating it'll be somewhere between 11 and 22 miles, "depending on the style of driving and route topography." Other than the new battery, the electric motor has been upgraded to a 95 horsepower/70 kW unit (up from the 47-hp/34 kW motor in the Cayenne hybrid without a plug). The overall powertrain now puts out a total of 416 hp and can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. Alongside the electric parts, there's a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine and an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can find all of the E-Hybrid's available specs here and stay tuned for more information on the new plug-in SUV when it makes its debut at the Paris Motor Show in early October. The SUV will go on sale in the US on November 1, 2014 with a starting MSRP of $76,400, plus a destination charge of $995. In a new press release (available below), Porsche is also proudly saying, once again, that it will be the world's only automaker offering three plug-in hybrid models, once the Cayenne S E-Hybrid hits the market. The others are the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder. How long will this reign at the top last? World premiere of the Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid in Paris Leading the industry: Porsche offers three plug-in hybrid models Stuttgart/Atlanta. The new Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid celebrates its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show. It is the world's first luxury SUV to offer a plug-in hybrid drive, setting new standards in its segment. The Cayenne S E-Hybrid also makes Porsche the leading manufacturer of plug-in hybrid vehicles: Complementing the Panamera S E-Hybrid and the 918 Spyder, Porsche is the only manufacturer worldwide to offer three plug-in hybrids. In addition to the Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Porsche is presenting the other models that comprise the new generation of Cayenne including the Cayenne S, Cayenne Turbo, and Cayenne Diesel. Increased efficiency and performance, even more precise handling, a sharper design and a broadened array of standard equipment are its defining features.

Porsche 911 RSR stops just long enough to have its photo taken

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

When it comes to Porsche and its rapidly escalating endurance racing program, all eyes may be on the new 919 Hybrid - and with good reason: that's the vehicle with which Porsche will be challenging the likes of Audi and Toyota for wins in the top-tier LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans. But it's the 911 RSR that does and will continue to form the backbone of the factory's effort.
The 470-horsepower racing version of the road-going 911 took a one-two finish in its class at Le Mans last year, and also won its class at the Daytona 24 this past January as well. This year Porsche will field two of them in the WEC, another two in the United SportsCar Championship here in the US and will sell countless more to customer racing teams that will undoubtedly continue to rack up trophies in racing series around the world. This, then, might be a unique chance to see one standing still. Check it out in our gallery of live images above from the Geneva Motor Show.
