 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.

Porsche 911 already testing next refresh

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible

Sun, 16 Sep 2012

Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.
