2012 PORSCHE BOXSTER

The vehicle is listed with a salvage vehicle title, with “MECHANICAL” recorded as the auction’s primary-damage classification. This is an auction claim and is not independently confirmed by the provided findings. Stage 1 reports that the mechanical damage cannot be confirmed from the available photos and that a physical inspection is required. The visible cosmetic findings are minor. Light horizontal surface scuffing is present on the left portion of the rear bumper. The steering-wheel rim has smooth, glossy areas consistent with surface wear, and the visible leather front-seat surfaces show pronounced creasing and wear. A significant mechanical concern is indicated by a “PSM failure” message and multiple warning indicators displayed in the instrument cluster. The underlying fault cannot be diagnosed from the photos. The vehicle should undergo a comprehensive diagnostic scan and physical inspection, including evaluation of the stability-control, braking, steering, and related systems. According to the VIN decode, this is a 2012 Porsche Boxster convertible, Type 987, equipped with a 2.9-liter six-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 255 hp. It was manufactured by Porsche in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany. NHTSA recall campaign 11V409000 is listed for certain 2012 Porsche Boxster models manufactured from May 31, 2011, through June 10, 2011. The recall concerns seat-belt anchor plates that may have incorrectly sized mounting holes, potentially affecting seat-belt routing or allowing the belt to loosen. Porsche’s remedy was inspection and, if necessary, replacement of the affected seat belt at no charge. Recall applicability and completion should be verified by VIN with Porsche or an authorized dealer.
