2002 Porsche Boxster Roadster Convertible 2-door 2.7l on 2040-cars

 I have owned the Boxster for about a year and a half.  I bought it with water damaged imobilizer problem, which is very common on them and if the top drains get blocked or the top leaks it wets the immobilizer under seat.  I bought it as an insurance loss this way in New York State, and after fixing it I took it back to new York for its salvage exam to make sure it was fixed and not stolen etc.  new York then issued legally a NON BRANDED title to me.  Therefore yes it had a salvage history via carfax, BUT the title is NOT branded in any way.  Because Pennsylvania does not accept New York's salvage titles you are legally required to take it to New York to be examined by their DMV and go thru New York salvage process.  Once it passes NY you are done in New York, and new York sends you a New York CLEAR TITLE IN YOUR NAME. Then because I live in Pa I got a title Pa in my name, which does not say salvage or anything.  Frankly for what the cars worth and knowing it wasn't wrecked or pieced together from scrap junk used bodies I could care less, but I did adhere to the law and do not care about this but mother ebay says I must explain it. So this ones for you mother evilbay.

That said lets talk about the Boxster.

 It ran and drove after i cleaned the water out of the imobilzer, but I did choose to replace both the imobilizer and cars main brain were replaced to be safe.  I also changed the top to a black one with solid rear window and heated glass at that time and had the body professionally resprayed by a wel known Porsche guy near me who does beautiful work.

I have receipts for the immobilizer and dme if you buy the car you get them, it has a warranty of I think one or five years,  Not sure which but you get them.

Since then I drove it last summer and this summer again, I guess I put on about 10k miles with zero issues. NONE. 

It is lapis blue with gray heated seats, stock radio, no aftermarket crap radios or amps no modifications or racing mods.  Wheels have good thread on tires and body I assure and guarantee you has never had an old accident..  I had it repainted by a well respected Porsche shop because it has a clear bra on front that was peeling off which looked horrible, and it had a few scratches and dings on the doors and bumpers.  Paint looks great and is nicely applied. Drivers window does not close exactly right due to the door handle switch contact is bad, it needs to be fixed, means window is up a little higher when you close door.  But if you lift handle a little bit once door is closed or push the power window switch down once you open car and sit inside it fits fine and it will lower it to the right position. Its pretty common problem and easily fixed,  I can get it fixed for 200 if you want by a good Porsche shop near me who has serviced the car for me.

If you are in market for a Boxster or 911 like me you read the internet too much instead of going out driving and having fun.  You probably read boxsters and the 996 era 911s IMS issues pop up.  Here is the real story, few fail. And its easy to prevent.  If you change the oil and watch for metal in the oil when you drain it you should not experience an IMS failure, if you find some metal on the filter inside it do the IMS update and change it, the percentage is so low it is silly that it has ever gotten publicity.  My advise and that of most Porsche guys: when it needs a clutch then change the IMS to the newer one.  But lawyers like to sue people and suing Porsche got them a lot of dough and made IMS a household name.  Below is something I found on a Porsche forum,

Porsche has sold over 200,000 Boxsters and there have only been about 2,500 replacement IMS bearings ever sold. You can do the math, research the problem, and come to your own conclusion. That's it, maybe 1 percent. I am not a 1 percenter and  actually like to gamble drink and smoke a good Cuban once in while, and a few other things which statistically should count but I don't care.  TO me fixing an IMS ahead of its time is a waste of cash unless necessary for me.

But if you want it now will cost about 1500 to do it.  I never was concerned and have no worries about it.

Only upgrade I did was change out the rear tail lights when I painted it, I had the shop put on later ones which are clear lenses instead of the ugly yellow amber crap the car came with.  Everything works fine, no lights are on dash, it has books, tool kit and spare tire and one extra factory Porsche key. drivers front amber turn signal has a rock chip in it and should be fixed if you want it to look pretty there, its 25 on the net used.

No trades on the Boxster, please have cash.  Ask you wife banker or girlfriend whoever before you bid, I don't want to waste time relisting it if you don't have the green or permission. Car and title are in my hand, I am near Scranton Pa, I have a lot of other Porsches and sports cars and am trimming my fleet. I will pick you up at the Scranton airport and help with transport if you fly in or need help transporting it later on home. Don't low ball me or ask reserve I will not reply to your email if you do.

Ask a legit question and I will post it and reply. Feel free to call if you have any questions or want to come see it.

If you call: normal daytime hours 8am-8PM, Please NO TEXTS, I do not and will not reply to texts, 5705031700 east coast time before 8 PM.
Should you want to have a ppi done I will help out.  If you are out of town or have one its at your expense paid in advance to the shop not by me.  I will bring the Boxster to a reputable shop for you if its relatively close, or the local Pcar dealer if you prefer. I have nothing to hide on it, its cheap enough to have fun with, I put 10k on it, and don't think you have to be concerned, so drive it home topless.

Keep in mind its 11 years old and its going to sell for probably less than 15k dollars. Pocket change anymore when you think about it, and you get to drive a Porsche that handles like its on rails, its fast, shifts crisp, and looks good and has Porsches legendary brakes which will detach your retinas.

Sold as is, where is with no warranty implied nor stated.  Venue of sale is Scranton Pa Lackawanna county.  No returns no excuses no b/s.
