I have been asked by my Aunt to sell my late uncle's 911 convertible. He has loved and cared for this car for over 15 years. It is in great overall condition for its age but like all used cars this age is being sold as is where is how is. The cars odometer stopped working about 5 years ago according to carfax but to be fair the car has rarely been driven the last 3 years as he was fighting cancer and did not have the strength or ability to go far from the house. Based on previous carfax mileage and TX state inspections it looks like he drove it 3-5k a year at most. (he worked from home as well and this was a 4th car for a LONG time). So as a result of this the car is sold unknown miles which it is exempt anyway but just to be clear the odometer is not working currently.Now if I have not scared you off I drove the car a week ago about 25 miles and she was awesome. Ran great had good acceleration braked straight drove straight. There is not any rust that I could see not even bubbling as the car has been a Florida car and then a TX car all its life. The A/C worked and the power windows etc also were perfect. I have to say as the last 2-3 months he was in the hospital I expected the worst when I got there and had jumper cables etc and did not need them. She started right up and ran like a dream. The car is in great shape besides these issues I could see 1. the right rear bumper cap is broken. 2 under the bumper on the lower valence there was some paint missing but not rusted. I suspect that it is an aluminium piece. 3. the Shocks on the hood were weak so you have to hold it up.
The car was driven so there are some minor dings road chips etc BUT nothing that bad just dont want you to expect concourse and find a driver which is what this is a driver. The stereo was replaced with a much newer model that has blue tooth for audio and phone usage. It also has a cd player on it. The Tires are in great shape but their exact age is unknown by myself or my aunt. I know there is a way of decoding the DOT numbers but dont know how. There is extensive history in thr glove box of maintenance and I can point you in the way of the mechanics that did some of the work if needed. To our knowledge this car needs nothing to get in and drive. State inspection is good tags are good glass is good but again you are buying a nearly 30 year old car. The paint is in good overall shape but there is some obvious fade or discoloration from panel to panel, I suspect with a good detail you would be able to have it looking nearly perfect. I know I am being harsh on the car but I nor my Aunt want some one disappointed. I am not sure why the autocheck is not coming up.
I will be glad to respond to any questions on it but it may take me a day or so as I have to get some response from my Aunt etc. I am unable to get pictures easily as I am in Florida and my Aunt is in TX. I will say this if you get to the car and you decide nope not as described I will refund you your money and we will shake hands and be done with it. But having said that dont think that you can bid on it and then go see it and try to knock down on price it is nearly 30 years old dont expect perfection, the price says it is not perfect but is a nice car.

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week. For more information, visit Robb Report online or check out the full press release from Porsche below.
UK Porsche GT3 owners are irked that other countries are getting better deals
Sun, 27 Apr 2014Porsche 911 GT3 owners in the United Kingdom are up in arms, but it's not for the reason you might think. Okay, well it sort of is. See, it's been fairly well documented that 911 GT3 owners have had their cars grounded over concerns that the engines could catch fire. Porsche is rushing to build and install replacement engines in all 800 or so cars, scattered around the globe.
This isn't really the issue. The problem for these British owners is compensation. While the car's have been grounded, car notes still need to be paid. To deal with this, American GT3 owners are being paid $2,000 per month. German owners get 175 euros ($242 at today's rates) per day while a GT3 owner in Dubai is allegedly receiving $12,000 (it's unclear if this is a lump sum or a monthly payment). Basically, if you aren't able to drive your six-figure super car, you shouldn't have to pay for it. Seems reasonable regardless of the make.
British owners, though, aren't being compensated, and for 30 to 35 owners, that's not acceptable. They've banded together and are led by Sunil Mehra.
Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva
Sat, Feb 7 2015Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.
