1988 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA G50 CABRIOLET

BLACK/TAN LEATHER

EXCEPTIONALLY WELL MAINTAINED

SAME OWNER FOR PAST 14 YEARS

3-OWNER VEHICLE

ALL BOOKS AND RECORDS + ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER

I have owned this awesome 1988 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet since 2000 and am the third owner.  The vehicle was originally licensed in Tennessee in August, 1988 and then moved to California in 1995.  I purchased this Carrera in Southern California from a private seller in 2000 with 53,000 miles and have used it as my daily driver ever since.  I moved the car to the San Francisco Bay Area when I bought it and then shipped the car back to its original home of Nashville, Tennessee when I coincidentally moved there in 2008.  Over the past 3 years I have used it less frequently and have decided it needs another great home.  

I purchased this car in 2000 after an exhaustive search of 1988-1989 Carreras on the market at that time.  I met with the then-current owner as well as the original owner and visited the dealership where the vehicle had been serviced throughout the majority of its life.  This is an original, unmolested 1988 Porsche Carrera that has been very properly maintained for all of its 173,000 miles - it runs and drives like new.  The interior is only slightly worn, better than you may expect for a 26 year old Porsche.  The cabriolet top and rear plastic window were replaced in 2009 and items of regular wear and tear have been replaced as needed (rear tail lights, front fog light lenses, horn, tires, brakes, etc.) with no expense ever spared.  In 2012 I decided to address the stone chips on the hood and front bumper that accumulated over time and had the entire car (with exception of driver side door) repainted by the top body shop in Nashville.  All service history can be verified and validated by the two shops (one in San Francisco and one in Nashville) that have worked on the vehicle since I have owned it.  

I am happy to share more about the vehicle with serious parties.

Porsche Pajun to go all-electric as Tesla rival

Wed, Jan 28 2015

Porsche has been rumored to be working on a smaller counterpart to the Panamera for nearly four years now, but we have yet to see any sign of the model dubbed Pajun coming to fruition beyond a digital rendering hidden in the background of another Porsche design. Apparently Stuttgart has been having trouble making the business case in an already crowded market segment. But that doesn't mean the project is completely off the table. According to the latest from Germany's own Auto Motor und Sport, Porsche is now planning to launch the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior just like the Macan project was previously called Cajun) purely as an electric vehicle. With an eye evidently fixed on how dedicated hybrids and EVs are gaining traction in the marketplace (to say nothing of actual tarmac), the electric Pajun - almost certain to carry a different name to the showroom – would be different enough to distinguish itself from existing four-doors of that size like the Mercedes E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6, et al. Word has it that Porsche believes that battery technologies will advance enough over the next four years to give its four-door EV a range of nearly 250 miles on a single charge. The model's arrival would be just the latest in a series of environmental concessions made by the company with the broadest range of plug-in hybrids on the market. Aside from the E-Hybrid versions of the Panamera and Cayenne, Porsche arguably led the charge (so to speak) towards hybrid hypercars with the 918 Spyder, is downsizing many of its engines and is turbocharging almost the entirety of the 911 range.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.

Porsche Cayenne diesel V8 may not be long for this world

Fri, Jan 23 2015

Goodbye, Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel. We hardly knew ye. Nor did the Europeans, apparently. Porsche's V8 oil burner is still on the European model list for the Cayenne SUV, but the mill won't go through the likely pricey process of being updated to adhere to new and stricter European emissions standards, Just-Auto says. A Porsche spokesman confirmed to the publication that it's a fairly complicated process to update the diesel V8 to be so-called "Euro-6 compliant." With Cayenne diesels selling in relatively low volumes anyways, the German automaker might just dump the V8 diesel altogether, as it'd be quite cost-ineffective to make the necessary upgrades. The V8 diesel was a 4.1-liter engine that delivered 385 horsepower in addition to what sounds like a little too much exhaust for European clean-air regulators. While that's a pretty powerful profile, the most recent gas-powered V8 for the Cayenne delivers about 570 horsepower, so the diesel engine won't likely be missed by European auto enthusiasts. Besides, there's still the V6 diesel that's also sold in the US. That's a 4,800-pound beast that moves from 0 to 60 miles per hour in about seven seconds and gets a relatively (for diesels) modest 20 miles per gallon city. For those who are curious, Autoblog's First Drive review of that model can be found here.
