2001 PORSCHE BOXSTER S

The auction record lists the vehicle condition as “Clear” and the primary damage as “Normal Wear & Tear.” Stage 1 reports that the visible cloudy headlights, deteriorated convertible-top rear window, top-edge wear, body scuffing, and interior wear are inconsistent with a fully clear condition. Its assessment is that the visible condition is predominantly age- and use-related cosmetic wear, and that the “Normal Wear & Tear” classification is generally supported, although the “Clear” condition is not. Observed cosmetic issues include pronounced yellowing and clouding across both front headlight lenses. The side door has a light, elongated paint scuff. Several light scuffs and areas of discoloration are visible on the black convertible-top material and the adjacent upper rear bodywork. The front seats show creasing, surface wear, and localized discoloration in the black leather. The convertible top requires particular attention: its rear plastic window is heavily cloudy with extensive crazing or fine cracking, while the material around the window opening shows fraying, peeling, and worn edges. These conditions may affect visibility and indicate that refurbishment or replacement of top components could be necessary. The VIN decodes as a 2001 Porsche Boxster S, a two-door convertible powered by a 3.2-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine. The vehicle is listed with an output of 250 horsepower and was manufactured by Valmet in Finland. The transmission and drivetrain are not specified in the supplied decode. NHTSA recall records include campaign 22V656000 for 2001–2004 Boxster vehicles. The recall concerns missing caps over the low-beam headlight horizontal-adjustment screws, which may allow incorrect headlight adjustment. The remedy is inspection and installation of the caps where necessary. Campaign 03V004000 concerns the key-lock cable adjustment on vehicles equipped with the Tiptronic automatic transmission; the transmission type for this vehicle is not provided, so applicability should be verified. Separate records concern certain noncompliant aftermarket lighting assemblies and may apply only if such equipment is installed. Recall completion should be confirmed with Porsche or an authorized dealer using the VIN.
