You are bidding on a very nice, increasingly rare 1996 Polar Silver Metallic 993 Porsche 911 Carrera with only 36,199 miles. This car is factory original, clean and in excellent running condition. The reserve price is set at a very reasonable level. I reserve the right to end this listing at any time prior to the reserve price being met.
History of the vehicle - I purchased the car in South Florida where (it is my understanding), the car was originally acquired by its primary owner in 1995/96 up until a few years ago when he transferred title to his family in Georgia. I can tell the original owner cared for this car as it has been well kept. The family sold the car to an auction house and was subsequently purchased by a Miami dealer and sold to me in 2012. The reason I am selling the car is simply because I don't drive it enough to justify the vehicle storage which is limited at my home.
Maintenance - The car is stored in a climate controlled garage and has never seen snow or ice. According to a relative of the original owner, the car was maintained by a Porsch facility in Miami. I spoke to the mechanic that maintained the car and he remembers the car and its owner. He stated that the original owner was meticulous about the maintenance of this vehicle and verbally gave an overview of the regular services preformed. He could not release the service records since they included personal information on the owner. I also had the car inspected by another Porsche shop in Miami and it checked out. Since I do not possess the maintenance records, I took the car to a local Porsche dealer/service center this summer and had an inspection done as well as the extensive 30,000 mile recommended maintenance (per the manual), just in case it did not get done previously. I also had new Michelin tires installed. I will include the receipts for the recent service and new tires to the new owner. Also included is the original owners manual, 2 keys with fobs, spare tire and wheel lock.
Overall the car is beautiful, runs strong and there are no mechanical issues that I am aware of. The interior of this car is in excellent condition. The paint color (Polar Silver), is really nice and still shiny but has normal wear and tear as the car has been driven for 18 years. There are some small blemishes and stone chips in the paint only noticiable up close and obtained in the normal course of driving.
Shipping - Buyer is responsible for the cost and arrangement of shipping.
Payment - A $2,000 deposit is due 48 hours after the auction ends with the remainder due within 7 days of the auction ending in the form of a bank cashiers check. Once full payment has been received and cleared, the title and keys will be sent and the car can be picked up.
THIS VEHICLE IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS WITHOUT WARRANY OF ANY KIND.
Serious buyers only are welcome and encouraged to inspect the car in person before bidding.
Thanks for your interest.

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.
2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S
Fri, 19 Jul 2013I don't care who you are; when a new Porsche 911 rolls up in your driveway, that's a pretty good day. This was my very first experience with Porsche's 991 911, and after having spent time with just about every tune and trim of the last car, I was hotly anticipating comparing and contrasting.
Somehow (I don't remember sending out any cash-filled, unmarked envelopes) I'd scored a week in the 911 Carrera 4S over a long holiday weekend, too. That meant that I'd get to A) log a ton of miles in one of the best cars in the world, B) get to show-off the Porsche to family and friends and C) tempt cops in three states to pull me over. Good thing I've got the Autoblog traffic lawyer on speed dial...

Fri, 03 May 2013
The Turbo S will dispatch the Nürburgring in "well under seven and a half minutes."
Porsche is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its 911 Turbo in the best possible way: by announcing the next-generation of the rear-engined beast. The 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are here, and man oh man, do they seem like the business.
