Vehicle Detail
Hello and thanks for checking out this listing of my 2004 Porsche Boxster S Special Edition in excellent condition. This car was created as a special commemorative tribute to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 550 Spyder and is an example of just 1,953 cars made (this is #1,290). Special styling cues native to the Special Edition are the Carrera GT Silver Metallic paintwork (then only available on this car and the Carrera GT supercar), an individually numbered plaque mounted on the center console, 18-inch Carrera wheels, and a stacked center mounted exhaust. The suspension has been optimized as well and features stiffer springs and shocks, plus Porsche Stability Management fitted as standard. Brakes are ventilated aluminum discs with four-piston brake calipers with an aluminum paint finish. Special Edition special features aside, this car is classic Porsche refinement and engineering at its best. A 3.2L flat 6-cylinder power plant supplies up to 264 horsepower @ 6,200rpm. The Tiptronic S dual mode transmission offers 5 automatic shifting gears or a manual mode with sport steering wheel-mounted shift buttons. The leather interior is in showroom shape with no rips, tears, or wear marks. The car was well optioned with cruise control, a thumping Bose Sound System with AudioPilot, a remote 6-disc CD changer, sport seats, and Xenon Litronic headlamps. Carpets, floor mats, and all trim are in likewise incredible condition. I am the third owner of this stunning roadster and have put barely 4k miles on the car since purchasing it in June of 2011. Regular service has been courtesy of a local import specialist or the service team at Delaware Porsche. Just installed is a brand new battery and low-tone horn. The only "issue" that the next owner may want to address is a pulled area of trim on the headliner just rear of the top release (see photograph), although it has never bothered me and I doubt it will bother you. The car has been garaged since new and has been used exclusively as a fair-weather, top-down cruiser. The bodywork is laser straight with no dings. The paintwork is an 8.5 out of 10 with only a very few blemishes with regard to minuscule stone chips, some light scuffing under the front bumper (this is a low-slung car), and a bit of swirl here and there. Open the driver's side door and you will see a trio of very small nicks just beneath the door latch mechanism (see photograph). All four wheels are in quite good condition with colored center crests. A couple of the wheels sport some very light curb rash that is barely noticeable without going nose-to-tire with the wheel. I have done my utmost to take accurate and detailed photos of the car and welcome your questions. Tires are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus that have fewer than 1,000 miles. They were installed at an expense of just under $1,000 less than a year ago. The car is available for your immediate review here in Wilmington, Delaware...convenient to both the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. metro areas. The car is a true stunner and is well worth the trip no matter where you may be located. Local pick-up is of course available but I would be happy to help the winning bidder coordinate transportation anywhere. Thanks very much for reading this lengthy description. The car has brought me a lot of joy over the past three years with the only out of pocket expenses being the very low-cost service items previously discussed and Super Unleaded, of course! I am selling it because I simply don't drive it enough due to work and life commitments. The reserve has been set at a very reasonable amount well below KBB value and is an excellent value.
