I am reluctantly selling my beautiful 2007 Porsche Boxster S convertible. Driven a low and perfect 10 thousand miles a year, this Boxster S is stunning in Artic Silver over a medium charcoal interior. I refer to the mileage as perfect because that's how a Porsche mechanic would describe it. What you should look for in a used Porsche is one that's been consistently driven, and not laid up for long periods of time. This was news to me, but as it was explained, if a car like this sits a long time, the seals dry out and when it starts being driven again under normal circumstances, it's a lot more likely to develop oil leaks, etc. Plus, if there was any major problem, it would usually show up within the first 30 to 40 thousand miles. For the record, this car has no leaks whatsoever, and no issues at all, so you get the stability of a proven track record, plus the lower price compared to the other 07s on ebay, that being under 30 thousand dollars.
This gorgeous convertible is very striking and I've added a few personal touches to make it stand out from the pack. First, I changed out the ugly orange front side lamp markers with clear ones that give the car a much newer, sleeker look. I also changed out the dull gray factory rear Boxster S emblems with new chrome finish emblems that really pop. I also added the rear gold Porsche crest where the designers should have put one in the first place (: I think the side Porsche Graphics add so much to this car as do the front fender Porsche crests. The nice thing is, if you don't like the crests, they are magnetic, simply pull them off.
This 2007 Porsche Boxster S has always been garaged and never smoked in. I live in Florida, and have only driven it in nice weather. The power top is pristine and operates perfectly. In fact, the car basically starts, stops, runs, handles, looks and even smells like new. Seats are mint, carpet and mats look like new, with no stains or dirt. I am very picky about how clean my cars are, so this vehicle is vacuumed weekly, interior is conditioned every couple of weeks, and paint and glass are kept as clear and shiny as I can keep them.
I've owned other sports convertibles, BMW, Lexus, Mazda, but I must admit, no other car has been as fun to drive as this Porsche. Being a mid-engine car, it is perfectly balanced, so it goes exactly where you want, when you want. It's almost like you, the car, and the road become one... And that's a nice trifecta! Another thing I love is the tiptronic transmission. Yes, the 6 speed can be fun, but in all practicality, if you do any city driving at all, it becomes nothing but a chore. I know, I've had both. With the tiptronic, you get the best of both worlds. Shift through the gears manually with the finger tip controls or opt for the no-hassle automatic mode.
The original owner of this little Porsche was a retired Doctor who took the car on some cross country trips, which accounts for a majority of the miles. I am the second owner, a 49 year old business person with 4 kids, so while I enjoy cruising, I've never driven the car hard or in a reckless manner. I just find it nice to know the power is there if I ever need it. Plus, the Boxster S with its painted brake calipers and added styling touches is so much more attractive than the base model. I don't know about you, but when I buy a car, I always go for the highest trim level I can afford. I just figure I'll enjoy it more and it'll have a higher residual when I sell it, so really, it all evens out cost-wise. One other thing the Porsche mechanic told me... And I quote, "If all we worked on was Boxsters, we'd be outta business." That was music to my ears as someone who didn't want to spend the money or put up with the problems of a 911. And it's true... This being the second boxster S I've owned... first was a 2003 S... I've had ZERO problems with either. Just basic maintenance, and normal wear and tear stuff, tires, brakes, etc. They really are so well built; it's amazing.
Well, that's about it. The car is fabulous, tight and fun. It's offered in gorgeous as-is condition with shipping the responsibility of the buyer, although I will assist in any way that I can. A $1000 dollar deposit is required within 48 hours of auction's end and is non-refundable unless the car has been misrepresented. I welcome any inspections and will be happy to answer any questions. You may reach me on my cell between 11am and 8pm Est. 727-254-8494.
Thank-you and happy bidding!

Porsche Cayman S and Caterham 7 go head to head on the drag strip
Fri, 27 Jun 2014We recently saw the standard Porsche Cayman go up against a Subaru WRX STI in a one-mile drag race with surprising results. Apparently, Evo had a similar idea of evaluating the Cayman's quickness. However, it opted for the more powerful S model and chose a flyweight Caterham Roadsport 140 as the challenger. Will the results of this battle be as close at the end of the kilometer-long (0.62-mile) drag?
Neither of these are cars you'd usually associate with drag racing, but they are nearly evenly matched. Evo selected them based on power-to-weight ratio, with the Caterham offering a scant 140 horsepower in a lithe 1,213-pound package. The Porsche is a quite svelte 2,910 pounds but has 325 hp to haul it around.
Of course, power-to-weight ratio isn't everything. There are a ton of other variables like aerodynamics and gearing that play a huge role, as well. Can the little Caterham's weight advantage overcome the better aero and additional power of the Porsche? Scroll down watch the video and find out.
Which is quicker in the standing mile, a Subaru WRX STI or a Porsche Cayman?
Thu, 26 Jun 2014The 2015 Subaru WRX STI and 2014 Porsche Cayman are both saddled with unfair reputations. The STI with its huge wing and gold wheels has the title of the ultimate boy-racer. On the other hand, Porsche brand snobs look down on he base Cayman as just a wannabe 911. In reality, they are both pretty fantastic performance cars. But what would happen if the two of them lined up at a stoplight, and maybe the guy in the suit in the Cayman started throwing some revs at the young man in the STI? Automobile decided to find out in a recent video pitting the two stereotyped hot rods against each other in a standing-mile drag race.
In terms of raw numbers, they are surprisingly close. Both use flat engines and six-speed manual transmissions here, but the Subaru has more power and torque. However, the Porsche makes up for it with 300 pounds less weight. Neither should have a problem with traction either thanks to the STI's sophisticated all-wheel-drive setup, and the Cayman's mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.
The comparable specs certainly show themselves in the real world for the race. We're not going to give away the winner here because it's too exciting, but let's just say the finish is very, very close. Scroll down to watch both of them shrug off their stereotypes and show off their real performance.
Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
