Selling our 2000 Porsche Boxster. I bought this for my wife for something fun to drive because her job consists of a lot of local driving but she doesn't really like it and wants something different. She had her heart set on a Red BMW. This is a 13 year old car but it is in good condition. Tinted left and right Windows. It does have some rock chips here and there and a couple of small scratches. There is a couple of scuffs on the each bumper but they are not very noticeable. The convertible top is electric and operates as it should. It has had a new back window installed in the top I would assume since these cars came with plastic back windows that the original windows had probably became faded and discolored over time. I did notice a very small leak after driving in the rain but it was an amount about the size of a quarter. Again.. this is a 13 year old all original exotic sports car. There are some slight wear marks on the top where it rubs together while driving with the top down. This is normal for convertibles. The interior is very nice with only minor wear showing on the drivers seat and arm rests. It has a cd player and the original radio displays the station ID and song title. The cigarette lighter does not work. The wife while driving the car recently had the key come apart in her pocket and lost the transmitter for the keyless entry which I read is another common problem with this model. I have not replaced it but I see them available on EBay. I have all the service records since the car was purchased new. Since I have owned this Porsche I have fixed a couple of minor service items. I changed the oil and oil filter, I do this on any used car I buy. The oil change is good for 11,000 miles according to Porsche. I replaced the Air/Oil Separator which is a part known to fail on this model car. Very easy to change this part and was around $150 for parts. I also replaced the front sway bar links which are wear items on the front suspension. They were worn. They were only $30 a piece. The A/C works as it should. This is a clean car for its age and is very fun to drive with quick acceleration and tight steering. Clutch is smooth and was replaced at around 80,000 If you have never owned a Porsche, I highly suggest reading some online forums about this model car. As with any car, the Porsche Boxster's do have their own little quirks. The online forums are a great resource for owners and enthusiast to get valuable information about the car they own or want to purchase and can even save you thousands of dollars by troubleshooting small problems yourself. There is a lot of maintenance that can that an average person can perform. I have read a lot in the forums and the information provided by other owners can definitely help with tips on everything from cleaning the car to best places for service or step by step instructions for do it yourself people. After writing this, it seems sad to have to list out every flaw that this car might have so as not to be misleading to a potential buyer but what I think gets lost is that this is a Porsche and it is exciting to own and drive. Every time we have friends over or take it for a drive we always wind up talking about the car and everyone wants to sit in it. With the top down, there is very minimal wind on the passengers and I can hear while on my cell phone just fine. The design of this car and its interior is excellent for cancelling out outside noise when driving with the top down. The car will sell itself.. it is beautiful.
Quick Facts:
Brakes are good. no squeaks of any kind.
Good tread left on tires.
Ac works normal and is cold.
Electric top and windows work normal.
Clear title
All original paint as far as I can tell. No accidents reported on Vehicle history report.
No known fluid leaks. *** I would consider a fluid leak to mean a major leak that could be noticed after the car has sat parked on a driveway. All cars leak some kind of fluid at some joint or gasket at some point. A normal leak would not be considered a defect.
There are no warning lights on after vehicle system self check. *** I would consider all electrical systems that are monitored by the vehicles computer are operating normally. This would include: The check engine light, The air bag system, The brake system, Oil pressure,
Quiet ride even with the top down.
Clutch is smooth and this car shifts very easy. Clutch was replaced around 80,000 miles. I have the receipt.
Very quick acceleration.
I have records from the previous owner for all service they had performed also. Almost the whole history of the car.
I am including this section to fully disclose any known issues or flaws with my car as to not to mislead any potential buyer. This is a 13 year old exotic sports car and it is not perfect.
Quick Facts about any known flaws or issues with this car:
in no particular order:
Both bumpers have some scuffing and minor damage to the plastic on them. The front bumper is scuffing is in the middle of the bumper and the rear bumper has scuffing on both sides.
There are rock chips on the hood and fenders. ** I would consider this normal for any car.**
The headlights are slightly yellowing. ** I would consider this normal for a car this age **
The convertible top shows rubbing marks from vibration during top down driving. ** normal for most convertible cars **
The back plastic window has been replaced. ** I have noticed very small leak of water, I would imagine high pressure water from a machine car wash would cause leaking also. **
The shocks that hold up the hood and trunk lid would need replaced if you plan to use the storage space frequently. They are worn out and do not hold. ** I do not use the storage space much so I was not concerned.**
The Drivers seat does show slight wear on the side closest to the door. ** I would guess this is from entry and exit **
The arm rest on both doors has some off whatever coating is on them wearing off.. very slight.
One wheel appears to have slight curbing damage. ** see photo **
Sometimes after a short trip there will be a few seconds of bluish smoke from the rear of the car at the next start up. ** This is one of a Boxster's quirks and is normal. It happens because of the engine design of flat six and sometimes oil will puddle and get burnt off at startup. Read about this in the online forums. **
Wife lost remote transmitter portion of the remote key control. Comes with 2 keys. Only 1 key has the remote feature.
The leather on the shifter knob has started to peel off.. ** see photo **
The last thing I would mention but I have been unable to tell if this is an issue or just the design of the car. I notice that the dash will stay lit up after shutting the car off and exiting. They go off after locking the car. I have read that this is normal and the lights will go off after a few minutes if the car is not locked but I have also read that the ignition switch could be faulty. This is described in the online forums as another Boxster quirk. My only concern with this would be the battery draining if I forgot to lock the car after driving such as when parked in the garage. I keep forgetting to test the going off after a few minutes theory and have just gotten in the habit of locking the car each time.
I have tried to describe my Porsche as best as possible. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. Please contact me if you need special arrangements made for pickup BEFORE bidding! I will be glad to take any additional photo's and email. I would also gladly answer any questions via email or phone. If you are a serious buyer please email me and give me a number to contact you and a good time to call. The remainder of purchase price must be made in cash when vehicle is picked up.
This vehicle is also available for sale locally and I reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction should I sell it locally. The mileage will also go up. I reserve the right to drive the vehicle as needed. The mileage is will not remain 123466.

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22
Sat, 12 Apr 2014While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.
Nick Murray's problematic Porsche 911 shows the power of a viral video
Fri, 18 Apr 2014When Nick Murray took delivery of his 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S in June 2013, he had saved for it for the past five years. He didn't just pluck a random 911 off a dealer lot. He specially ordered his car with thousands of dollars in extras tailored just to him, and he captured all of the options on his YouTube channel. The love affair didn't last long. Eventually the channel became a place for Nick to air his growing list of grievances about his deteriorating 911. Eventually, his mix of righteous indignation and sarcasm went viral.
By late December, he had already had four warranty repairs done on the car. Things got much worse in March. The computers began resetting whenever Nick drove over large bumps. There was also an acrid, electrical smell that occasionally permeated the cabin. Murray filed for Lemon Law protection. Porsche Cars North America contacted him for the first time to fix the problem, but it didn't help.
Things culminated in April when Murray put up a new video that showed more troubles. He began arbitration with Porsche and asked for either his full purchase price back or an exact replacement. The company countered with a portion of what the car was worth, based on its mileage. Murray refused and turned to his YouTube watchers for help. He asked them to spread the word, and the video went viral with over 800,000 views as of this writing. Supporters posted it multiple times on Porsche's Facebook and Twitter sites.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
