Long time forum member. This is my fourth Boxster. You can look at my garage for my other beauties I've had.

I got this late last summer because i missed wrenching and wanted a daily driver. Put over 40 hours in restoring and replacing much of the suspension. I have a lot of records from the previous owner and what I did.

I had the front bumper resprayed by ABS. It had bad road rash. New rear bumper too. Some kid dinged it in a parking lot backing out. My friends at ABS helped me out and made sure I got a new bumper. I didn't want some popped out fix.

seats are in great shape, paint is beautiful. Top color isn't great. It was bleached out so I redyed it. Not perfect but who cares, I drive with the top down anyway.

PM me and I'll give you my phone number or email. I know these cars inside out. I just got a 2007 911 S and well now I have three Porsches and a two car garage. My Porsches usually are garaged at home and work. The 911 sits outside at night until I sell the Boxster.

It has 104k miles and is very dependable. Mainly because the gentlemen before me had a ton of work done and then of course the stuff I did to make it handle like new.

It is a Tiptronic, oh lord, I know how awful...well personally that is why i got it. My 911 is a Tip too. No reason to have a manual as much as I drive it.

Anyway it isn't perfect but is has 280hp and plenty of torque and is a blast to drive. I'm only selling because of space issues.

I would like $12.8k for it. That is reasonable with all the maintenance and repairs in the last 15k miles.

Hal.

Here is more info:

SOLD

- Zuffenhous Eurowerks four wheel alignment. They do amazing work to exact standards. I wanted it aligned to drive well at high
speed on highway and do a little less wear on rear tires i.e. a little less camber.
- Control Arms (996.341.053.17)
- Drop Links Rear (997.343.069/070.04)
- Control Arms (997.331.045.04)
- Flushed brakes (ATE)
- Control Arms (997.341.043.00)
- Tie Rod inner/outer (996.347.322.01/997.347.322.01). They were clearly worn and it explained the highway shaking.
- Drop Links front.
- Front sway bar bushings. Though I can't find the reciept.
- Roadforce balance - Discount Tire.
- Front frunk Hood Shocks
- Complete compounding and polishing. It could probably use another pre-sale polish. I've polished for years and did work
on the side for other Porsche owners.
- Engine cleaning.
- Air filter cleaning. Didn't need a new one.
- Cabin filter cleaning. Didn't need a new one.
- MAF cleaning
- Leatherique seat restoration. Driver left side bolster needed minor dye touch up to meet my standards.
- Steering wheel Leatherique and light sanding and redye. Not perfect but I can't stand old worn out steering wheels.
- New floor mats.
- Redye top. I failed to mix 4 to 1 and had some overlap spots. The top was totally bleached out and my attempt improved it
greatly. Now that is has had time to blend and age I'm temped to give it another attempt with proper mixture.
- Polished head lights and clear bra them.
- Referbished all frunk plastics.
- Cleaned under body panels.
- Likely much more.
