1994 Porsche 968 Base Coupe 2-Door Description

This car has a production date of Sept. 16, 1994 and was originally sold through Autohaus Lancaster in Lancaster, PA on Oct. 20, 1994.
It was owned by a family who serviced it at Knopf Automotive in Allentown, PA for the following 13 years until it was sold to a private owner in NJ in August of 2007 with 60,750 miles on it. The new owner was a Porsche mechanic who rarely drove the vehicle and kept paper receipts of the parts he installed during regular maintenance. Life changes made him put it up for sale and I purchased the car in May of 2008 with just 63,250 miles on the clock.
I'm the third owner and have every service record for the vehicle- dating back to the original window sticker from the purchase in Lancaster, PA. Any Porsche folks will know how rare this is to find for a 22 year old vehicle. I've kept every service record and receipt organized in a binder that will come with the car. I also have the original owner's manuals and leather case they came in, which will come with the car.

The car served as my daily driver for two years, during which I put an additional ~24k miles on the car without any major issues.The car has never been in any major accidents throughout its life and has a clean CarFax report. Of course there is no lien on the vehicle and I have the title in hand ready to go.
Please take the time to read the description in full and be sure to ask me any questions if you're interested in owning her! The vehicle is in the DC/MD/VA area, but I'm willing to work with a buyer on shipping after payment is made in full.
The "OEM+" Bits
  • Upgraded wheels (detailed below)
  • Upgraded stock air box
  • Broadfoot Racing cat-back stainless race exhaust ($800 value, just passed Maryland emissions last week)
  • Rear hatch trim and spoiler color-matched to body

General
  • A/C blows strong and cold
  • Despite being an east coast car, it is 100% rust free
  • All trouble mechanical areas (headlights, sunroof, rear differential) function without issues
  • Car will come with two main keys as well as two valet keys
  • Original owner's manuals and Porsche embossed leather case included
  • Porsche factory Service Information Technik manual (only issued to students of Porsche Service Training Center) included

Engine & Transmission
  • Engine & drivetrain are strong, car starts without hesitation and runs well
  • The higher flowing intake and cat-back exhaust combination make a mean engine grumble that turns heads
  • Oil and filter were changed <50 miles ago
  • Clutch occasionally has some minor chatter when shifting through lower gears, but doesn't affect performance or slip

Interior
  • Leather & dash are extremely clean with no broken plastic, rips, stains, or tears
  • Top of dash is starting to show some minor cracks from sun wear, nothing major
  • The brackets holding the driver/passenger sun visors and rear view mirror seem to have broken off (I have the rear view mirror and one of the visors)
  • Radio has been replaced with an "O-car" unit designed for iPhones
  • The bracket for the passenger side glove box has come loose so the glove box door opens all the way on its hinge (doesn't affect functionality)

Wheels & Brakes
  • Upgraded to new genuine OEM 17" Porsche Boxster Twist or "Cup 3" wheels ($1,000 value)
  • Brand new brake job was performed 45 miles ago (pads, rotors, sensors - a $2k job)
  • Good tires all around (245/40ZR17 fronts, 275/40ZR17 rears) and the new buyer should have NO problem driving this vehicle home from purchase

Exterior
  • All front and rear lights function except the front driver's side fog lamp, which is cracked
  • The paint is the car's weak point, as some panels have started to show oxidation but you can still see signs of the true red paint under all the panels (see third from last photo) as older Guards Red cars do- one detail job with compound, polish & wax should fix this
  • The dark strips you see directly behind the front wheel wells are stone guard decals which have become dirty over the years and can easily be cleaned or removed
  • The black plastic lip under the front bumper has come loose but doesn't affect performance and will come with the car
  • There is a crease on the front driver's side fender and *very* slight creasing on the hood which should come out with paint-less dent removal (PDR) techniques- see last two pics

Electronics
  • The tachometer, oil pressure, voltage, and engine temp all work but the speedometer, odometer, and cluster backlight have stopped working
  • The mileage is true and I have put on 53 miles since I noticed the odometer stopped moving at 87,381
  • The check engine light and anti-lock brake lights are on although the last shop who changed the brakes and fluids said they couldn't find any reason for them to be tripped
  • The front and rear wipers are not working properly, not sure if a fuse or motor issue so for now I disconnected the rear wiper motor
  • Brand new Duralast Gold battery installed last week ($190 value, two-year warranty from Auto Zone)
  • I am keeping the positive terminal disconnected until all of the electrical issues can be figured out to avoid any phantom drains killing the battery while parked

Any other specific questions you have, please ask!
I have plenty of other photos I can send but I highly recommend that you come see the vehicle in person if possible. I will be flexible with the buyer (or buyer's agent) in terms of how we arrange for pickup or shipment of the vehicle, which will be 100% at buyer's expense.
