2000 Porsche Boxster S

Description

The Boxster is a modern classic because it really brought Porsche back to its roots of building mid-engined cars with a lot of guts. So it's easy to love a well-maintained higher performance 2000 Porsche Boxster S like this that's in the perfect colors and offered for less than the price of an economy car.

Finished in the iconic and bold Guards Red, this slick little roadster represents the best of Porsche design. Hard core enough to be a wonderful track-day weapon, but as reliable as a wood stove so you can drive it every day, no other car manufacturer has yet matched that combination. The shape is instantly recognizable, from the 911-inspired front end to the air intakes just ahead of the rear wheels, to the center-exit exhaust system, there's nothing else like a Boxster. You can tell by the luster in the factory paintwork that a true enthusiast who let this roadster have the prime space in the garage has owned this one. Porsche quality is legendary, and even on a car that's now more than 15 years old, the fit and finish are notably better than most new cars being built today. You see that in everything from the precision panel fit to the way the doors shut with authority.

The tan interior is a great complementing color to the exterior red, and it's in fantastic condition right down to the carpeting that still looks fresh. The handsome leather bucket seats hold you in place without being constrictive, and the hides remain in exceptionally good shape. The gauges are big and easy to read, and because it's a true Porsche, the tachometer sits boldly in the center to remind you that the driving experience is this car's top priority. Like any good premium car, this comes loaded with power windows, power locks, heated seats, cruise control, keyless entry, power seats, and power steering. The stereo has been upgraded to a Kenwood touchscreen with XM, sat nav, DVD, and Bluetooth for true modern convenience. There's a power convertible top to button everything up on rainy days, but the automatic climate control means you can keep the roof down any dry day you want. Because this is a modern classic, there are also great safety features like ABS, dual front airbags, and side airbags. Two trunks, one up front, and one behind the mid-mounted engine, provide a far superior luggage capacity than most other super sleek roadsters.

It's important to recognize the little "S" on this car because it makes a huge difference. Porsche upgraded the Boxster S to a 3.2-liter flat-six, which was worth an 15% jump in horsepower. Its distinctive boxer motor sound and performance exhaust will have you blipping the throttle under every overpass. And you have complete control over this soundtrack thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. This numbers-matching engine fires up easily, which is not surprising since it has only averaged about 3,000 miles annually over its lifetime. The feeling on the road is an experience you'll love thanks to the well-balanced mid engine design and Porsche's fully independent performance suspension. Plus, bright red calipers highlight the four-wheel disc brakes, and you can easily see them through the optional 18-inch five-spoke Turbo-style alloy wheels. The total performance package is finished off with Michelin Pilot Sport tires for the ultimate in sports car grip.

This Boxster S is an affordable indulgence that will keep its exceptional quality for years to come. This German roadster even comes with multiple manuals and the original window sticker. It's time to grab a piece of the good life at a great price. Call today!!!
