Great condition 2002 PORSCHE BOXSTER S with only 62,660 miles.

I am NOT A DEALER, and this car WAS NOT BOUGHT AT AUCTION.  This is my toy - my garage queen to be exact as it was only used in nice weather and garaged when not driven.  I have spared no expense in servicing the car and doing all recommended steps to insure it operates at the highest level of performance. This car is super clean (I'm third owner), kept in the garage and have invested over $10,000 in preventative & regular service maintenance.  I'm so protective of the car that the gas tank is always full to avoid condensation in the tank. The Boxster is perfect if you're looking to buy a car from a person who took care of it like they were going to keep it forever.....then this is the car as until today as I intended on keeping it forever.

I'm selling the car after 4 great years of enjoyment because my children are now wanting to drive with me and two seats just aren't enough, so changing to a 911 Cabriolet (If I can find one with a IMS retrofit so the engine does not seize - see IMS Problem on Porsche Boxster/911 below)


The Porsche is accident free with a clean Carfax and comes 
in a very desirable color combination Seal Grey Metallic exterior, Grey interior and matching Grey Convertible Top.  The paint looks great aside from normal wear.  Please note pics denoting any scratches.

The interior is in excellent condition with very minor signs of wear and is a smoke free car.  All parts, components and options(Power Windows, AC, Cruise, etc, etc. is all in working order without issue)

The soft top is in great shape and has only very minimal signs of wear.  The rear window was replaced in 2010.

The Boxster S has no known mechanical issues and everything works as it should.

18'' stock wheels are in great condition and tires were installed at $56,000 miles(only 6K miles of wear)

Have all service records from my purchase date in 2010 to today, including the receipt for IMS Retrofit for the engine - to avoid and insure against IMS Failure.  I loved the Boxster S and made the $5,000 investment to have the IMS Retrofit Kit installed by a certified Porsche service center(Body Motion in Ocean NJ) to avoid any problems as I was going to keep this car forever.....(until my kids changed everything)

In addition to above - I've changed many parts that are part of the normal wear of the vehicle and also completed the 60,000 mile service including tune up, timing belt, etc.    

Car is paid for and title is in hand.  Be sure to ask this when speaking to other sellers, as when I was looking to buy in 2010, I was amazed at how many people did not have their Titles.(Was held by bank, leasing company, former spouse, etc.) Protect yourself.


IMS Failures - 1997-2008 Boxsters & 911 - Regardless of where you buy your Boxster - do your homework and protect yourself.  When I started looking for a used Boxster S in 2010 I noticed "Private Sellers" discussing IMS Problems and solutions.  I Googled "IMS Problems Porsche Boxster" and found an alarming problem- if left unresolved, the IMS issue occurring in these engines will turn your beautiful Porsche into a $20,000+ paperweight in your garage.  Google for yourself or I can email you links to IMS issues and solutions.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]

Tue, 03 Jun 2014

Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.
