2000 Porsche Boxster with Tiptronic Transmission

Up for auction is our 2000 Porsche Boxster with the Tiptronic automatic transmission and low, low miles.  This Boxster has accumulated only 34,884 miles from new and has been a southern two owner car all of its life.  We bought this roadster in 2009 in Houston and have put only ~4,000 miles on it in the five years we have owned it.  The car has been garaged during our ownership and during the rare time it found itself outdoors it was protected by the Sunbrella car cover that is included in this auction.  The paint certainly attests to the care it has received.  We love this little roadster but with our imminent retirement and an expanding fleet of vehicles to dispose of, it is now on offer.  This is a great opportunity for someone to obtain a low mileage example of a great little mid-engine roadster from Porsche that has been well looked after and maintained.  

The tires on this Boxster, Sumitomo HTR Z III’s were purchased three years ago but have less than 1K miles on them.  The paint and appearance is very good to excellent with relatively few blemishes, the worst being a key scratch above the driver door lock (pictured).  The convertible top is in great condition with only some scuffing of the fabric on each side from normal use (pictured).  The top was cleaned and waterproofed with the 303 fabric top protection system just this weekend. The vinyl rear window is clear and supple with no clouding.  Likewise, the headlamp covers are clear and unclouded.  We have run only Mobil 1 full synthetic during our ownership.  The audio system has been upgraded to an Alpine CDA-9886 CD receiver with MP3/iPod compatibility.  The memory position leather seating is in great condition with no tears or cracking, having been looked after with Lexol preservation products.  All keys and owners manuals are included. 

On the downside, one of the roll bar hoop wind baffles is not installed, it having lost one of the three mounting tangs and having some broken mesh.  You can not tell the mesh is broken because there is no missing plastic, but it is not installed due to the missing tang.  It is included in the sale and should be a very simple repair.  There are some very minor dings on some of the panels but none are very noticeable and don’t really show up in the following images.  There was a front license plate mount, removed because not required in Louisiana, but included in the auction that caused some minor rub marks on the front valence.  Again, take a look at the photos.

Our reserve is set well below the KBB and NADA retail values for a roadster in this condition and with these few miles.  Bid high and bid often, and more importantly, have fun.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Thu, 29 May 2014

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.

Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911

Fri, 23 May 2014

Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.

Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash

Sun, 22 Sep 2013

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.
