Vehicle Description
It's amazing to think you can own a well-maintained and babied Porsche drop top for less than the price of an economy car. This 2001 Porsche 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 a speedy machine that is modern enough to be the envy of current roadsters.
The shape has Porsche blood running through its veins, so you'll hardly be able to resist the car's siren call to get in, turn the key, drop the top, and head out in search of twisting pavement. The factory metallic gray is one of those perfect sophisticated colors that isn't too outlandish but has the proper amount of metallic to make sure it looks fantastic on sunny days. It gives this sports roadster an elegant look that's complemented by the pricey optional 17-inch alloy wheels. Fit and finish are excellent from the factory, because after all, this is a precision German machine. Even better is it shows such low mileage (averaging less than 3,500 annually) that you know it was used more as a cherished weekend toy than a bumper-to-bumper commute machine.
Anyone who has driven a Porsche over the past two decades will feel right at home behind the wheel of this Boxster. The handsome gray leather bucket seats have the company crest embossed in the headrests and hold you in place without being constrictive. 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 roadster's top priority. Like any good premium car, it comes loaded with power windows, power locks, keyless entry, AM/FM/CD stereo, cruise control, and power seats. There's a power convertible top to button everything up on rainy days, but the ice-cold air conditioning 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.
The original 2.7-liter flat-six motor is the true heart of the joy this Boxster provides. It lives just behind the rear seats to give you great balance on the road, and this later model means more power. It revs like a proper Porsche should and makes the unmistakable exhaust note that only a horizontally opposed performance motor can. The sport-tuned fully independent suspension works with the mid-engine layout to provide one of the best driving experiences you'll ever know. On top of that are great performance features such as a five-speed automatic with Tiptronic controls on the steering wheel and four-wheel disc brakes. Of course, since there's also power steering and those dual trunks, this Porsche can be the ultimate weekend getaway machine as well.
This Boxster is an affordable indulgence that will keep its exceptional quality for years to come. The precision German roadster even comes with the original owner's manual. It's time to grab a piece of the good life at a great price. Call today!!!
