Overview: Immaculate Porsche Boxster Sport finished in Arctic Silver Metallic and interior wrapped in Terracotta (Porsche red) leather interior. Named for its horizontally opposed “boxer” engine the Boxster is a revival of the famous 550 Spyders of the 50’s and Porsche’s answer to Mazda’s Miata, BMW’s Z series, and the Mercedes CLK offerings.What sets the Boxster apart from every other competitor in this segment is its mid engine design and light weight construction offering unparralleled handling and acceleration. 3-owner vehicle ALWAYS garaged and mileage is ALL highway 104,900 miles (under 9k miles per year!) -2nd owner commuted between Peachtree City and Midtown and 3rd owner drives between Roswell and Buckhead everyday. Exterior: Arctic Silver Metallic paint in showroom condition. There are NO dings, dents, scratches or scrapes. This Porsche has always been garaged. Black canvas top is in like new condition and the rear glass was replaced in 2010 – completely clear and not cloudy like other cars of the same vintage. Interior: The cabin is like new – wraps around you like a snug blanket but is not claustrophobic like other convertibles of the same size. The drivers and passengers’ seats were re-covered by Bannister’s Upholstery in Atlanta and the seat backs and center console were re-dyed. The steering wheel has a leather wrap that adds to its sporty feel and grip. Steering wheel shift buttons make this Boxster feel like a formula one car. The convertible top operates like new and opens in 12-15 seconds. Entertainment is provided via a premium 6 speaker sound system featuring CD. The carpet is like new and the overall showing is comparable to a vehicle years newer. Engine, Brakes, and Suspension: Power comes from a 2.5 liter V6 creating 201hp at 6,600rpm. Couple that to the fact that this car only weighs 2,822 pounds and you have an incredibly swift launch off the line and an amazing rise to the speed you want and plenty of power needed for swift passes and exits! If you're soft to accelerate and drive easily the Porsche is still surprisingly very nimble and well behaved and not heavy and led filled like other near exotic or exotic vehicles at low speed. This is mid-engine at its best. The brakes stop fast and straight lined. The 5 speed Tiptronic transmission is smooth through the power band in automatic and easy to shift through using the steering wheel controls. Extra options on this Boxster include the $3,235 Sport Package that includes 17 inch wheels/tires, cruise control, and a $1,901 Technic sport package that adds stiffer springs, automatic brake differential and traction control. There is also a $360 wind deflector that makes top down driving a non deafening experience. Driving Impression: There is really something incredible about driving a Porsche. From the moment you turn the key and listen to the whine and growl at idle it’s a whole new experience. Higher than legal speeds come easily and the mid engine design and stiff springs make the term “riding on rails” seem like a total understatement. What’s most amazing about this Porsche is how economical it is given that other models from the same manufacturer can set you back $150K without a blink of an eye. Oil changes average about $110 and tires even with the staggered fit can be had for under $500. Averaging 28mpg driving this Boxster is more economical than most econo-boxes! This particular Porsche has been meticulously maintained by Checkpoint Automotive in Marietta, GA by its last two owners. Beale Hardy is an authority on Porsches and has checked every component of this Boxster. Under his care the coolant reservoir and idler pulleys and belts were replaced. Beale has also performed the routine oil changes and alignments. Feel free to contact him on any questions . Low reserce and is PRICED TO SELL! I have listed this Porsche locally as well and reserve the right to end the auction early should I meet my list price. Maintenance records and additional photographs available upon request. Good luck bidding!
