2000 Porsche Boxster Gorgeous With Low Miles And Service History on 2040-cars

2000 Porsche Boxster – VIN WP0CA2980YU623993

For your consideration is my happy little unmolested 2000 Porsche Boxster – the car that brought Porsche motoring back to the masses. This car has not been restored in any way, shape, or form, but is an excellent low mileage driver and gets “thumbs-up” and positive comments everywhere we go.

I purchased this car from one of the local Porsche franchise dealers where it had been traded-in by the second owner on a new Porsche. I was surprised to find a 13 year-old car like this on a new car dealer's lot, but once I looked it over I understood why -it's truly a standout example, and one I thought I'd never find after looking at a lot of used and abused Boxsters - and it came with a clean CarFax to boot!  This one had clearly been loved!  Wearing just over 72,000 miles, I bought it as a fun weekend runabout. As a freelance automotive journalist, I’m now on to my next project.  I am also thinning the herd.  I have 2 factory keys and two file folders full of records along with the original manuals.  It comes with 17" Carrera alloy wheels, leather-wrapped steering whee and seats, power windows, locks and top, CD changer, and a Porsche OEM car cover. 

In the last few thousand miles it has received: 1) new clutch; 2) oil and filter change; 3) main motor mount; 4) Continental performance all-season DWS tires. The OEM convertible top is in very nice condition.

On the inside, this car is in excellent condition, not having suffered from the interior trim cracking and seat seam splits that plague so many Boxsters. There are no foul odors, and the carpets and new OEM floor mats are in good condition.  The original radio/cassette, CD changer, heater, and air conditioning all work perfectly, and the car recently passed the stringent Virginia safety inspection (good through 10/15). 

Outside, the car is remarkably straight save for a few very small parking lot dings. The speed yellow paint is in remarkable condition , and the doors shut perfectly.  All of the lenses are in good, clear condition. The alloy wheels are in very nice condition, save for the right rear wheel which shows some kerbing on the lip, and the original spare tire and tool kit are in the front trunk.

The motor starts easily and settles to a very smooth idle. The power steering functions properly, and the 5-speed manual transmission (no Tiptronic here!) shifts as smoothly as any Porsche I’ve driven (including a new 911S Carrera 7-speed!). There are no odd noises or whines from the driveline. The new clutch takes-up properly and the car does not smoke irregularly. The brakes are in good condition and do not pull. The brake pedal is appropriately firm.
