1999 Porsche Boxster 5spd
Blue with gray interior

Details:

I bought this car then end up buying a 911 right afterwards and decided to keep the 911.  Car appears to be very well taken care of and is very clean with NO rust or corrosion.  Runs and drives nicely.  Shift smoothly through all the gears with NO grinding.  Clutch feels strong.  Does not smoke or leak.  Convertible top is in great shape and appears nearly new.  The back plastic window is very clear with no cracking or signs of age.  The top goes up and down smoothly and the windows work nicely.  The body is very straight with NO major damage.   There is no significant chipping or cracking in the paint and the only damage I can really find is one dime sized chip on the front bumper and another similar sized chip on the rear bumper.  The interior is in equally good shape.  The leather is clean with no rips or tears.  There is a very small amount of wear on the drivers bolster, but much less than you would expect for its age and miles.  All the power options seem to work fine.  The a/c blows cold.  There is also a $600 Kenwood touchscreen DVD player that folds out of the dash.  Tires are Pirelli P-zero tires that have about 50% tread left.  The rims are clean with minimal curb rash.  The alignment is spot on and I would feel comfortable taking the car on a long road trip.  

History:

I purchased the car in California and the car still has the California Salvage title from Liberty Mutual.  From what I can tell the car looks like they hit a curb putting a small (8 inch dent) into the bottom of the front trunk pan.  In the front of the car where the spare tire is stored, the bottom of the trunk is very low to the ground and that is where the dent was.  I stood on the dent and it popped right out.  This damage did not affect the alignment (I did not have the car aligned and the alignment is still spot on) or any other part of the car.  The damage cannot be seen unless you are under the car and does not affect the functionality or usability of the car in any way.  The accident also seemed to set off the airbag light, so the airbag light is on.  I do not have the tools to pull the codes, so I do not know why it is on, but non of the airbags deployed  and the seatbelts still function.  My guess is that is the real reason the car was totaled was because the insurance company figured on needing to replace all the airbags due to the light being on.  This car can be driven as it is with absolutely no work whatsoever needing to be done. 

Flaws:

Aside from the salvage title there are a couple of small flaws with the car.  Like every other Boxster in existence the center console door is broken.  The drivers door panel storage bin lid is also broken.  The driver's a/c vent has a couple broken fins.  There is a small 1 inch X 2 inch piece of trim at the front of the tonneau cover on the driver's side that is missing.  The keyless entry remote does not work (most likely just needs to be reset).  The convertible top warning light is on even when the top is secured (faulty sensor that is pretty common on these cars).  Finally the airbag light is on most likely due to the accident.

Terms:

Buyer is responsible for getting the car to their location.  I will help where I can.  I need a $500 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of the close of the auction with the remainder due in one week via cash or cashiers check. Car is sold as is where is.

President Obama will be on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee

Tue, Dec 22 2015

The seventh season of Jerry Seinfeld's excellent Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee will debut on Wednesday, December 30, and if this first trailer is any indication, the guest lineup is damn impressive. But rather than building up to one big guest over the course of the season, the show is starting with one of the biggest guests possible – the president of the United States. President Barack Obama will join Seinfeld behind the wheel of what looks like a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for a trip around the South Lawn of the White House. According to CBS, the pair will enjoy their coffee in the staff dining room, which is probably a better idea than crippling Washington, D.C., with a Stingray-led motorcade. Aside from the president, Seinfeld has recruited a couple comedy icons, including first-timers Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. Also appearing are Garry Shandling, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Kathleen Madigan. The four-wheeled stars will include the Corvette, a Plymouth Superbird, a Chevy Camaro, a classic Porsche 911, a BMW 2002, and what we think is a (rather troublesome) 1952 Siata 208 8V Coupe Balbo. You can check out the entire trailer up at the top of the page.

New details mooted about Porsche's '988' Ferrari rival

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

We could be on the verge of a big expansion at everyone's favorite rear-engined German sports car manufacturer. Porsche is allegedly preparing a four-car assault that will be led by a proper challenger to the Ferrari 458 Italia (sorry 911).
Code-named "988," the new model will reportedly feature a mid-engined layout and, get this: a flat-8. Autocar, which has the story, expects that engine to displace about 4.0 liters, while the car itself will draw styling inspiration from the 918 Spyder. 600 ponies and over 400 super-accessible pound-feet of torque should be on tap with the new mill.
Joining the 988's supposed eight-cylinder is a new family of four- and six-cylinder boxer engines that Autocar claims will have a focus on power density and fuel economy. These new mills will be available in naturally aspirated, turbocharged and hybrid forms.
