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!

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
