2014 PORSCHE BOXSTER S

The auction record lists this 2014 Porsche Boxster as having a salvage title, with “SIDE” recorded as the primary damage classification. Stage 1 reports that the visible damage to the left side supports the auction’s SIDE code; however, the salvage-title status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The main damage is concentrated along the left side. The left door outer panel has extensive dark abrasion marks, scraped paint, multiple dents, and creases. The left side mirror housing and glass are missing, with mounting components exposed and hanging beside the door. The left front fender and wheel-arch edge are deformed and scraped, and the adjoining bumper area has an uneven gap. The left front bumper cover is separated below and behind the headlamp, exposing dark components. At the left rear side intake, a body panel or trim section is missing, leaving an open cavity with internal components visible. The left rocker panel and lower door edge have extensive scraping, deformation, and missing exterior material. The convertible-top fabric is torn and frayed along its front edge near the center-left roof area. Additional condition issues include multiple tears and areas of separated or missing material on the left front seat cushion. The visible headlamp lenses also have a cloudy or hazy appearance across portions of their outer surfaces. VIN decoding identifies the vehicle as a Porsche Boxster S convertible with a 3.4-liter, six-cylinder gasoline engine, rated at 315 horsepower. It was manufactured by Porsche in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany. NHTSA records list three recalls applicable to certain 2014 Boxster vehicles. Recall 13V502000 concerns defective passenger-seat wiring that could deactivate the passenger frontal and knee airbags. Recall 14V698000 concerns front hood-lock components that may fail to latch securely. Recall 21V679000 concerns possible fracture of the rear-axle carrier side sections, which could result in a loss of control. The available information does not confirm whether this specific vehicle was within the affected production ranges or whether the recall repairs were completed. A VIN-specific recall and repair-history check, together with a thorough structural, mechanical, restraint-system, and convertible-top inspection, is recommended before purchase.
