2002 Porsche Boxster - Seal Gray - Seat Heat on 2040-cars

This is my 2002 Boxster which I love but have decided to sell.  It's my third car and I literally have to force myself to drive it a few times a month.  I also have a company car so now I use it even less.  The car has spent almost its entire life garaged. I also keep it covered with an OEM Porsche cover that is included with the sale. 

I have done the following work to the car:

·         Replaced the coolant tank due to a leak (this was a common problem with pre 2003 models.  Porsche updated the tank which is what I installed.

·         Replaced all the plugs with OEM plugs at 92k.

·         Replaced the water pump and thermostat and coolant at about 95k.  Dieters in San Diego did the work, they are highly regarded mechanics.  Used OEM Porsche coolant/parts.

·         Replaced the left rear wheel bearing at 95k - Dieters also did this.

·         Replaced the ignition switch.  This is actually an AUDI part and is a common failure in 986's.

·         New tires all around - OEM sizes.  They have about 2000 miles on them so they are good to go.

·         Rear lights were also upgraded to LED's but appear bone stock.  Front side markers were changed from yellow to grey and are an OEM Hella product.

·         Replaced the remote portion of the key fog, they wear out after a few years and the truck did not work as well.  It works now and looks like new.

·         Added an iPhone interface for the 4/4s that works with the factory radio.  I use it with my IPhone 5s with the Apple adapter but the adapter is NOT included with the car.

·         Recently replaced the headlights with some pre owned stock OEM Porsche headlights.  You will see in the picture that one has like a halo if you look at the right angle. Not noticeable unless you are looking at the correct angel.  What is noticeable is how clear these are compared to cars of this age.  Makes the entire care look great.

·         Added a lumbar adjustment. Basically an air bladder made for this specific application that you pump up with something that looks like a blood pressure hand pump thingy.  Hard to explain but it works and required zero modification to the car; you can slip it out if you don’t like it.

I work on a military base and have access to a full shop with a lift so I did all of the oil changes myself using the OEM filter and Mobil 1 full synthetic.  It was a breeze having the lift and I change the oil twice a year since I never reach the recommended mileage requirements set forth by Mobil and Porsche.  Plus I liked getting under the car.

Car engine is bone stock with the only modification to the body is that the rear "Boxster" badge has been changed to "986" to reflect the model number.  These numbers are OEM Porsche for the 968, I just changed the order.  It looks factory. 

One nice feature I added is a hidden bike rack that accepts a 1-1/4 bike rack.  I had it fabricated and gave some to fellow Boxster owners.  I used it a few times but bought a truck so never really had a need for it.  If you didn't know about it, you'd never notice the car had one. I am including the bike rack as well.

The car has a few minor scratches which I have photographed (driver side has three white marks above the intake vent – the driver side by the turn light has a scratch) and some road pitting on the front that is not abnormal for a car with this mileage.  The top in original and the rear plastic is not crystal clear but not bad at all. I took a bunch of pictures of this looking inside and out of the plastic; you will see it’s pretty clear.  This car has lived most its life covered and that shows in the condition of the original top.  The windshield has three little rock chips that I've never had sealed but they are small and are not really noticeable.  This is NOT the rain sensing windshield so if you ever chose to replace, it won't end up costing you 2k.  It was never an issue with me.  The car will need pads in the next 5-10k miles depending on how you drive it.  For me that would at least have been a year to two years.

Please remember that you are purchasing a used car with over 117k miles on it at a greatly discounted price from MSRP.  Please don't expect a new car or even a car with 30k miles on it or even 80k.  If you want guarantees or warranties, purchase a new car from Porsche. Like most cars on eBay this car is sold AS IS with no warranty expressed or implied in the above description.  I personally think this car to be in better shape than most I've seen out there and have attempted to describe the car to the best of my ability.  Please realize your final bid is a contract to purchase the car, not to test drive or kick the tires.
