I am selling my 911 S as I would like a change. I have owned this car since 2004 (I have the title in my name), in that time I have put 7,000 miles on it. I have used it for short weekend drives mainly but also the odd 100 miles plus journey. I have always had the car serviced by a Porsche specialist and perhaps spent $6,000 or so on the car since I have had it; on things like new brakes, new windscreen, shift linkage bushings, etc. The car is in my opinion a very nice driving car. I am not a mechanic, expert or dealer so from my limited expertise I would say the car is very nice. The pictures included are all taken in the last few days or weeks. It presents very well and drives well. The underneath shots show the ziebart rust proofing treatment the car had from when it was first bought years ago. To my eye there is no obvious rust of any type other than where an exposed under section like a sway-bar or a shielding has surface rust. The car has all the bills and records from literally its first repair/service, it also has the service booklet, I have all the original keys, owner's manual and sleeve. Also there is the COA from a previous owner (original engine #6331271 is in the car - someone just asked me and I checked). The seats are Recaro (have the original warranty) for those too. The thing that this car has that will be a plus or minus depending on what you want it is the modification to the engine. It is supercharged. The car is very fast. I have the bill and the pictures of the engine when built (see photos) - about 30,000 miles ago/circa 1989 at a cost of $10,000 plus the engine was rebuilt and a new breathing system installed, to accommodate the pulley the bonnet was tastefully modified too. The pictures show the changes. This was all done long before I owned the car so I cannot answer too much detail. Car was serviced about 200 miles ago.

Ebay asks that I describe faults so these are the main faults in my view, I am trying to be as honest as I can and leave it up to you to judge what you think of the car vs. being a huckster. The paint is very high quality but there are a few small cracks at seems e.g. where A pillar and fender meet, the clock does not work, the A/C plumbing was removed when the engine was modified and does not come with car, the car starts every time but as I don't drive it too much it smokes for the first minute or two but once warmed up is fine, like many 911's it weeps oil but nothing too bothersome, the driver's seat has a small fraying on side that seems to be not getting any worse, the dash top was cracked and a cap put on it and some of the rubber weather stripping would need replacing.

This car is being sold "as is" and "where is" with no guarantees implied or otherwise. The sale is final. I ask for a non-refundable deposit in the amount of $1,000 within 72 hours of the auction end via bank wire transfer or cashier's check via overnight mail. Fully cleared funds of full payment must be received within 10 days of auction regardless of when you arrange for pick up of vehicle. If deposit is not received within the required period of time, the vehicle will be offered for sale to runner up high bidder or re-listed. This is to be considered an absolute sale and the buyer is required to comply with all of my conditions in these terms of sale. With your winning bid the auction you agree with my terms of sale and the terms of sale are to be considered a legal and binding purchase agreement. There are no inspections to be made after the auction ends. I reserve the right to cancel any bid at any time and to end the auction early for any reason. I have tried to describe in any known flaws in the vehicle. The displayed odometer mileage on the vehicle is correct at the time of listing. This is an older car, 40 years old, so condition is a subjective thing to individual. I shall not be responsible for the absolute correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and make no guaranties or warranty in connection with the sale of this vehicle. My description of the vehicle is for presentation only and not to be accepted as a warranty of any type. It is up to the buyer to have themselves satisfied as to the condition and value of the vehicle before bidding and to bid based upon that judgment only. I assume no responsibility for any repairs whatsoever regardless of any oral or written statements about the vehicle.

Good luck and thank you for your interest

Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).

The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959

Thu, Apr 9 2015

There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.
