Short Hills, New Jersey, United States
|
2001 Porsche Boxster 986 S tiptronic being sold as is. This is a very nice car with substantial performance upgrades but it does need 4 items to make it mint. 1. broken right front coil spring 2. faulty key ignition switch 3. left front radiator small/slow leak 4. Paint ( could use a re-paint) I purchased this car for my daughter when she got her license 6 yrs. ago. Unfortunetly it lived through the high school yrs. & several yrs. after with a teenager & her friends. It was never abused or wrecked but it was not loved by a non-car person. It has been sitting for some time unused since she is now in college & does not want it anymore. I have spent 8-10k on brand new high performance upgrades including the following: Bilstein/H&R suspension including complete re-build with H&R over sized sway bars, all bushings ,control arms & links are new, Victor Equipment 18 inch wheels, Stebro exhaust with secondary by pass pipes. Currently it has H&R lowering springs (one snapped). I will include the oem springs. $2000.00 was recently spent on a brand new roof with heated real glass window!!!!!!!!!. 986 Boxsters came oem with plastic rear windows. The engine was replaced at 106,000 mile with a brand new Porsche 3.2 liter S motor from Germany at a cost of $12,000. Motor was $9,000, balance was labor rate cost. So the motor has approx. 65,000 miles on the clock. Interior is in really good shape. Nice leather power seats etc. Includes carbon fiber tip shifter & surround. New Porsche glass wind protector between headrest. The car is quick & handles like its on rails with the upgraded suspension. The body is rough shape with lots of scratches, small dings , stone chips & ripples in the front left fender & rear deck lid as a result of friends sitting on a car made of paper thin aluminum. Girls!!! go figure? |

Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.
