1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:304000
Location:

Flushing, New York, United States

Flushing, New York, United States

This is an extremely reliable high miles (300K) daily driver that I have been using for the past 12 years.  Clean title, no accidents. I love this car, and have been caring for it as the last car I'll ever own, but recent divorce forces sale.  It has been garaged, but driven almost daily.

Good Points:
  • Engine bottom-up rebuild at 240Kmi (I have most of the records).  Runs v. strong.
  • Tranny good & tight.
  • Brakes, clutch, master&slave cylinders new 50K mi ago
  • Sunroof rebuilt 5k mi ago
  • New high torque starter 50k mi ago with new wiring harness (complete rewire, starts 100% of the time)
  • Optima acid-free battery
  • New Fuel pump 10K mi ago
  • New right side front susp. a-arm 2k mi ago
  • New gas tank 40k mi ago
  • V. nice audio system with seperate 75W amp and top-line Alpine head (v. nice) with (pre-5) iPod audio & power cable and regular headphone audio jack for non-iphones
No mechanical problems other than:
  • Driver window doesn't lower.  Needs rebuild.
  • Some rust spots (4): The drive & pass windshield corners, pass door sill, driver door striker plate.  Rust is small and i've treated them with near-matching paint, but they should be dealt with.
  • Sm. baseball-size dent in RR fender, no paint loss.
  • The front spoiler/air dam is completely covered in rust.  I have a replacement but needs to be painted to match (it is white). 
The car cannot be registered in NY until June 2014 due to an insurance lapse.  Long story, but nothing to do with the car.

I put a lot of blood, sweat & tears (as well as many swear words) into this car and I will only sell it to someone who expects to care for it, someone who intends to repair the rust before it gets bad, and get it back to its glory.  This is a beautiful car, a beautiful color, and the 89 3.2 Carrera is considered by many to be the pinnacle of the 911 - I certainly think so.

I am the third owner, I've had it for 12 years.  Previous two owners in N. Carolina.

2015 Porsche Macan S

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.

Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Porsche 911 GT3 shows what Chris Harris does best

Thu, Nov 27 2014

After a brief trip behind a pay wall, British auto journalist Chris Harris is back posting videos for free online, and shorts like this one are the perfect example of why his return is so welcome. Showing up at the damp Anglesey Circuit on the Welsh coast with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and Porsche 911 GT3, Harris ostensibly aims to find the better model. However, the final result really succeeds in showcasing the fun to be had behind the wheels of both supercars, particularly when initiating huge slides around the track. As Harris presents it, the vehicles get through the circuit in somewhat different ways The Ferrari is brash and "feels alive," as he puts it as it screams around the track. Alternatively, the Porsche is a bit more restrained, while still being able to show some emotion. In the end, it comes down to trying to get a controlled lap around Anglesey from this duo, but it's pretty clear that the times don't tell the whole story. If you're in the mood to watch two of the world's premiere supercars wag their tails in the wet, then this video cannot be missed.

Porsche slathers Martini livery on 911, Panamera, Macan and Cayenne

Mon, 20 Oct 2014

This is how we imagine the conversation went in Porsche's Stuttgart headquarters: "Martini livery. Martini livery all the things." Okay, so maybe not, but that hasn't stopped Porsche from showing off images of its entire lineup bearing the iconic racing livery.
While we aren't sure about the questionably yellow 911 and lime green Macan, the navy blue Cayenne and the white Panamera both look pretty spectacular as they lap about the streets of Sochi, Russia.
As for why the liveried sports cars and crossovers were at the site of the 2014 Winter Olympics, we aren't totally sure. Porsche's Facebook page, where the images first popped up, was really light on details. Whatever the reason, we fully support Porsche doing more with Martini livery. Take a look at the full gallery to see what we mean.
