This is a rare combination. A pristine, lovingly cared for Boxster, and a private seller who is not greedy. This is a 2- owner, 13k mile, SoCal car with manuals and all service records since new. It has never been in the elements. Undercarriage is clean enough to eat from. Garage kept, and parked on 'flatstoppers' to keep the tires in proper condition.
The first owner ran a VW dealership and worshipped this car, as have I. I defy you to find a better one in the United States. It is insured as a show car with appraised value of $25k. The reserve price is $2,000. lower than book value on KBB.com. There is no premium for it being the best one on eBay (or anywhere else for that matter). I have 4 cars and am thinning the herd. Clear title in- hand.
This Boxster is a silver/ black 5-speed manual with a flawless silver factory hardtop ($3,000 option if you can find one). The car is bone stock original with no modifications or molestations. It is fitted with 18' gorgeous high- end factory alloys ($2,500) and brand new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires ($1,200.) It looks and drives as new. Factory audio including amp and single CD player. Two custom fitted car covers included (indoor and outdoor). No accidents or paintwork, of course.
Needs nothing except one service item: The airbag light is illuminated, apparantly due to an electrical fault in the seatbelt connection, a very common and easily remedied issue with these cars. (Google: Boxster airbag light). This car is perfect, I regret the distraction.
Nice cars to me are an admitted vice. I've owned this one 3 years and have put on 2,000 miles. Please see my feedback and bid with confidence. Happy to assist with shipping or storage logistics. Thank you for your interest.

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
Porsche reportedly working on new turbocharged flat-four boxer engine?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013These days, we've seen just about every automaker dropping cylinders in an effort to appease tightening fuel economy and emission standards - and Porsche is no exception. Nearly three years after introducing an all-new V6 powerplant under the front hood of its Panamera sedan (launched with a range of V8 engines) comes word that Porsche is working on an all-new turbocharged flat-four boxer to replace the flat-six engines mid-mounted in its Cayman and Boxster models.
Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six (shown above) found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm. Initial indications say that Porsche will only offer the new engine with its seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, tuned to take advantage of the low-end torque, but a traditional six-speed manual gearbox has not been ruled out. Despite the loss of two cylinders, enthusiasts will likely embrace the new engine as it promises to be lighter, more fuel efficient and more powerful than the 2.7-liter and 3.4-liter sixes in the Cayman/Boxster today.
Even though Porsche has been using Volkswagen Group engines for years (e.g., Cayenne V6, Cayenne Diesel and upcoming Macan), all indications are that the new flat-four will not be shared. Instead, it will be kept in-house for the automaker's sports cars and possible future fitment in an entry-level 911.
J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
