Morgantown, PA
Description:
1998 Porsche Boxster Convertible At a time when Porsche products were aging and the 928 was beingphased out, the brand needed something to reinvigorate customers toconsider a Porsche. In a stroke of genius, they looked to thelegendary 550 spyder for inspiration, a mid-engine race car with alow profile, bulbous hips, and balanced performance. The Boxster718, combining "boxer" engine and "speedster", was born and hasbeen a success story ever since its debut in 1996. For consignment, a 1998 Porsche Boxster with a title verified49,306 actual miles. Although the 718 has gone through a number offacelifts, the original design, like so much in the Porschelineage, still looks fresh 26 years later. With a fresh oil changeand a new battery, this 2 seat Porsche sports car is ready to carvecanyon roads and navigate the pick up line at Starbucks all in thesame day! ExteriorYou can't go wrong with Schwarz Metallic Black and it looks greaton this car. The simple front fascia has two flowing intakeopenings below a smooth bumper and 996 era headlights. The fendersrise above the hood slightly and create a shoulder line that flowsto the rear, finally waterfalling into flush mounted tail lights,another smooth bumper, and the now epic center exit exhaust. Likethe 550, the cab is short and this one is shaded by a black canvastop with a glass window in excellent shape. The front windshield issteeply raked and the brake cooling ducts in the rear quarter panelare wonderfully integrated into the design. The Boxster emblem onthe back is blackened and the 17-inch Porsche wheels look great.Minor imperfections include a double scratch on the rear bumper,one behind the passenger door, and the usual scrapes under thechin. InteriorPorsche exterior designs are special and the same can be arguedabout their interiors. Saddle leather is a great complement to theblack exterior and includes black accents to make an even strongerbond. The door panels consist of saddle leather, black door pulland armrest, and a curved base of plush carpet. High backed bucketseats have ample side bolstering and a simple stitched pattern.Both show just a bit of age wrinkles and of course, the driver'sseat shows just a bit more, but no rips or blemishes to detractfrom their inviting shape. The arched roll bars with wind screensare covered in saddle leather just above the carpet covered backwall. A standard black steering wheel leads to the gauge clusterwhich consists of three overlapping circles with Boxster fontletters and numbers. Like all good sports cars, the tach is frontand center. Saddle leather wraps the entire dash and the blackcenter stack includes the climate controls and an AM/FM/CD radiowith CD changer. It flows into the black center console where themanual stick is mounted in a black leather boot. Plush colormatched carpet covers the floor and is protected by fitted Porscherubber mats. The trunk and frunk are lined in molded panels withgray cloth and are both very clean. DrivetrainA 2.5 liter DOHC flat 6 cylinder engine lives between the seats andrear axle. It is rated at 201 horsepower, is fuel injected, andtied to a 5-speed manual transmission. Power appropriately goes tothe rear wheels where it finds 3.889 gears. Power disc brakes areat each wheel, which are wrapped in tires that are less than twoyears old. UndercarriageMostly belly pan as is the case with Porsches, and they are intact.Robust suspension parts are visible as is the bottom of the enginewhich sends out dual exhaust a short distance before joining toexit as one. Independent suspension with MacPherson struts equipthe car front and rear. There is no surface rust to speak of. Drive-AbilityEverything from the interior materials, the fit and finish, theengine note, and shifter are smooth and tight, trademarks ofPorsche quality. The car buzzed onto the test loop with power tospare, handled like a train on rails, and stopped on a dime.Ergonomically, you won't find many better, and all functions workwith Stuttgart precision. We note the airbag light is on. "There is no substitute" used to be Porsche's marketing campaignand it still rings true today. There are plenty of fine cars in theworld, but Porsche produces a driver focused quality that's hard tobeat. As we write this, spring is in full swing, and the weather isconvertible weather.
