Sad Day Tomorrow...
My Porsche Boxster peeps...I'm parting ways with my 2004 S tomorrow. Instead of going through the selling process with individuals, I went to Car Max. They were fair with their offer and it's good for 7 days. Talked it over with the wife, and being a Government worker I can't have these politicians playing with my paycheck...just to financially unstable.
So when times get tough, you make tough decisions. So with that said I'm letting you guys know that Car Max didn't want any of the extras I've collected for the car, not even the indoor cover. This weekend I'll get into the shop and gather up all the parts, tools, covers, and anything else I can find and post it here. Hope I can make someones day with the treasure trove I've collected. Being an aircraft mechanic, you can never have enough back up parts. As a teaser you can expect to see; 2 outdoor covers and one indoor, Durametric (w/ 2 VINs left), IMS removal tools, wheel bearing puller, front rotors for an S, wind deflector w/storage bag, ignition switch, convertible top rods (w/plastic ends), oil filters...just to name a few. |
Dooont doooo it !!! Don't let these morons in Washington change the way you live your life!
|
Just curious, what offer did CarMax give you? How many miles?
I would be interested in an outdoor cover. |
please reconsider. You will go through tough wthdrawal!
Although I can sympathize. I thought this year would be a tough one. At one pont last year I was in a position to take advantage of a very good deal on some real estate that would have signifinicantly increased my expenses. After runing the numbers over and over again I decided to not only pass on the offer but to significantly down-size. As luck would have it, this has turned out to be one of my better years. I saved a bundle and when the next market correction comes in I'll have some more ammunition. Me personally, I will make cuts elsewhere before I think about parting with my Boxster S. But if I did, I know there will be even better deals in the year to come. All the recent earnings point to a slow down, which means prices for used, high-end goodies are going to fall. |
I bet none of this government shut-down prevented members in congress from conducting insider trading. Sorry to hear about the loss of your boxster in the aftermath.:troll:

Sorry to hear about your decision to give up the Boxster. I work for a aeronatical company and the guys that work on miltary aircraft in our company have been slammed by the sequester.
I'd be interested in the durametric, wind deflector and one of the outdoor covers depending on the condition and cost to ship. |

Congress repealed the Stock Act and they are now free from encumbrance of the law and are even immune from prosecution... Meanwhile in America...
I am sorry you are having to part with your Box. I wish you all the best and hope happiness finds you and your family. |
I'd be interested in the indoor cover..............

Sorry to hear that you are letting the politicians and their idiotic actions (both sides of the aisle) determine your automotive future, that is truly a shame.
When my father passed away I drove his nearly new 10K mile car to CarMax for a quote, I was pleasantly surprised at their professionalism and offer. I used the offer to determine a "Friendly Price" to offer it to a family friend, we could of got 15 to 20% more for it on the open market but the convenience factor would of been appealing if we didn't have someone close to us in need. Good Luck and hope to see you back in a P-Car soon.......:cheers: |

Thanks for the condolences and encouragement guys. This, by no means, will be my last Porsche. I'm hooked for life on the handling, speed and braking.
To answer fusionist, I'm getting $18K. My car had 38K on the clock and had all the options except Nav and it wasn't the anniversary edition. I'm glad I posted yesterday because it jarred a few things loose in my head that was installed on the car that I pulled off (aspherical mirrors and the SmarTop module). Like I said about the parts and tools, I'll post them this weekend (after my 6 yr old son's baseball tournament). To be fair to all involved I'm going to go with a "first come, first served". I have your posts and your PM's, when I figure out a fair price I'll contact you for first refusal, if the part doesn't get picked up I'll post here. Thanks again guys for your camaraderie and friendship over the years, you've made owning a Porsche that much more enjoyable. I'll still be playing with German cars, just not as expensive. http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1382105721.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1382105749.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1382105763.jpg |
You have mail....could really use that Durametric...
|
That is one nice lookin' canoe...don't think I've ever seen one sitting on top of a VW Bug before! :)
|
I'd like to join your contact list. I'd be interested in the durametric, wind deflector and any one of the covers (condition doesn't matter). If you post a separate thread on parts, please put mention that here so i switch over to watching that. Thanks!
|
Sending PM about the wheel bearing tools.
|
Noooooooooooooooooo! Don't do it!
I thought that all of the furlough workers would be getting their back pay. Might have been tight there for a bit but the thought is that everyone would recover. |
How much do you want for the durametric and indoor cover? Send me a PM if you like.

Hey guys,
It took me a while to go through everything I have, I guess I was preparing for anything to happen. I live 10 miles out in the country from Oklahoma City, so running back and forth to UPS isn't going to happen at the drop of a hat. I do work a 9 to 5 in town so I will send stuff on the daily run into work. I'm not going to list everything right away because this week is going to be hectic with three baseball games and next weekend is a tournament. I'm contacting individuals now on a first come basis with a minimum response time, then I'm moving on to the next. I'm a PayPal guy, security for both party's and it's fast! Everything will be sent UPS, unless I use the USPS flat rate boxes for the small stuff. Tracking numbers will be PM'ed and insurance for the higher dollar items will be recommended. I came up with two and a half pages of stuff, from brake components, exhaust, intake, oil, interior, exterior and LN items. Thanks guys! |
+1 on Durametric and indoor cover if the previous guys don't buy them.
Sorry to hear that you are leaving the fold. I've only recently joined, also with a 2004 S. |
If reasonably priced and nobody else has spoken for it, I'd be interested in the smarttop module. Did you pull off the DAS SCHILDs also?
