1999 Porsche Boxster Base Convertible 2-door 2.5l Black And Tan Manual on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
Selling my 1999 Porsche Boxster in great color combination. This is the base model but has some upgrades such as wood trim e-brake and shift knob. parcel shelf and parcel shelf speakers and equalizer/amp. All leather with power locks and mirrors, abs, four air bags, rims are from a 2007 Cayman. Tires are Michelin pilot sports. 109000 miles or so total on the clock. I have owned for three years and have treated it well. Under my ownership it has gotten a new radiator cap, new fuel filler cap, driver window regulator and just recently a new motor mount. Previous owner did clutch at around 78k and at that time they did air injection pump, rear main seal, belts etc. Have receipts for this work. This porsche drives awesome. I will list it's flaws which are all minor.
Paint shows it age and needs a good detail. Has some stone chips and some dried sap from being parked under a tree that was shedding it seeds last fall. This is not particularly noticeable mostly immediately after a wash if you look close. Soft-top is original but in good condition with no rips or leaks, plastic window is clear and intact. Passenger seat has a 1 inch tear that has not gotten any bigger in the three years I have owned the car. Slight chip in the wood on the underside of the e-brake handle, not really noticeable. Tires have some shoulder wear but are strong in the middle. They are 17's. The badge on the back of the trunk needs to be replaced, I have new badge just never got around to putting it on. Also have new taillight, not sure why just came with the car. Includes wheel locks as well. Steering wheel leather is losing it's color at top. Finally the armrest plastic hinges are broken which means you can just take off the arm rest cover instead of it only rotating up. This can be good because you can put your coffee mug there! I know this car inside and out and have done my own maintenance it just got an oil change with new filter and always mobil 1 200 miles ago. This boxster drives perfect. Great suspension, steers great no mechanical issues whatsoever. I would drive it across the country tomorrow. The car is a blast to drive and I love putting the top down. It's issues are all very minor and generally cosmetic and commensurate with a 15 year old car. I have realized boxster's are the best car for the money by far! Needs: There are currently two minor electrical issues. First is the ever common driver seat belt buckle needs cleaned or replaced and has triggered the airbag light. This is an incredibly common problem with this generation 911 and boxster. Second is the keyless needs to be reprogrammed to the car. I let the key fob go dead for too long it seems and it lost it's synch with the car or so the dealer said to me. Only have one key. |

Rimac CEO on Porsche-Bugatti deal: ‘I am not somebody to play it safe’

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder: Touring the factory
Wed, Dec 3 2014Willy Wonka granted just five lucky Golden Ticket holders access to his incredible chocolate factory, yet we consider ourselves just as fortunate, as Porsche invited us to be among the first of just four American journalists to see behind the closed doors of its 918 Spyder assembly plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Of course, there were no Oompa Loompas or flowing chocolate rivers, but the vast white hall tasked with producing only 918 examples of the automaker's limited-production flagship revealed details that make Wonka's Golden Egg sorting room seem rather mundane in comparison. Unlike a traditional automobile manufacturing plant, which often encompass all processes of making a vehicle (e.g., stamping steel panels, welding components and painting), the 918 Spyder is built in an assembly plant. This means that hundreds of already manufactured parts, each crafted by Porsche offsite suppliers, are brought under one roof to be assembled into a perfectly finished product that is much sweeter – and far more expensive – than any candy delicacy. Our tour guide was Michael Drolshagen, Porsche's Director of Production, Logistics and Quality - a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the engineering and assembly of the 918 Spyder. Drolshagen generously offered us unrestricted access to walk among the factory's 110 workers – and a couple-dozen vehicles in process – to photograph everything. This is a story best told with pictures, so we've put together a raft of our best images in a high-resolution gallery and captioned each with a detailed description. If you've still got questions, please voice them in Comments section and we'll do our best to answer.
Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands
Sat, May 11 2019One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.
