2008 Porsche Boxster S Convertible 2-door 3.4l, 6 Speed Manual, Beautiful Cond on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
This car is in terrific condition with low miles for it's age. Garage kept and stored for the winter, this is about as clean as an 2008 Boxster S is going to get. The convertible top is tight and clean. No major dents or scratches. Up to date on all maintenance. I'm the second owner of this car and I've only put about 7k miles on it in three years as it's my weekend car. Though I garage the car for the winters, I know people who drive these year-round and say they only have problems on the worst snow days. Both the original owner and I purchased this from the Porsche Exchange near Chicago and all maintenance records are there.
This car has the 18" wheels (which are better), the 6-speed manual transmission (which is what you want), and the 295 hp 3.4 liter engine (which is fast!). Tires have plenty of wear left on them and the clutch and brakes are good. Clean title, no accidents, no problems. These Boxster's are amazing cars for the price. They handle like they are on rail and stop on a dime. The steering feel is truly the best in the business and the car never looses it's composure in any driving situation. Basalt Black as the very best color for this model and between the roadster look and the burble of the high-compression flat 6, it always turns heads. I love this car every time I drive it, but am going to try something different for a while. But I fully expect to be back in a Porsche in the future. This is the roadster you're looking for the summer. By the way, buying from a private party will save you significant sales taxes over buying from a dealer!

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.
'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 06 Jan 2014The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.
