I am a Porsche Enthusiast. I have owned four different 911 models over the last 30 years. I am offering up for sale my 1997 993 Cabriolet Porsche. I purchased this vehicle in August 2011. Since I have purchased it, I have only logged 1000 miles in the last 22 months. Since I drive the vehicle very little, I have decided to sell it. To find this vehicle, I had searched for 6 months prior to buying this 993. I was very selective during my search as I wanted a low mileage, well maintained 993. I found this 993 pretty close to home in Michigan. The 993 presented here is a Michigan car with two previous owners. The first owner had owned the vehicle for a short time, less than a year. The second owner had owned the vehicle form 1998 to 2011. The second owner took very good care of the car. I purchased the car from the second owner.  I was able to document the mileage and had a pre- purchase inspection performed prior to buying the vehicle. The pre purchase inspection included a leak down test and no issues were found.  In September 2011, I took the car to an authorized Porsche Dealer in Birmingham, Michigan to have a complete 30,000 mile service check performed. At the time, I instructed the mechanic to evaluate the car and "spare no expense" to service the vehicle so I would have peace of mind. The mechanic ( whom I feel is the best air cooled guy in the area) drove the vehicle and said other than the 30,000 mile service, no other issues or maintence items were needed, that was 1000 miles ago. I have the invoice from the service and I will include this documentation with the car. This car has always been stored in a garage, it has never been driven in winter, let alone rain. The overall condition is excellent. The car has a clean undercarriage. The engine bay is very clean. The engine does not drip oil. All engine shrouds are in place. Nothing has been modified. The interior is in excellent condition. There are no rips or tears in any of the material. There is no wear on any of the leather surfaces. I have included a photo of the driver seat which shows the condition and lack of typical wear on the bolster points. The body is in very good condition. The paint is original and has a high gloss. I have included a photo of the front fender which shows the high gloss. The vehicle has been hand polished and hand waxed, always. There is no discoloration of the paint in any of the door frames or in the hood and engine compartment areas. There is one area behind the right rear wheel which has a light scratch. I have included a photo of the scratch, hopefully you will be able to see the area as it is a very light scratch. The cabriolet top is original to the car and is in very good condition. The top has been treated with Renovo Ultra Proofer every two years to insure the top remains waterproof. Water droplets still bead on the top. The cabriolet top is in excellent condition. There is one wheel that has two small chips in the finish. I have included a photo of this particuar wheel, all the other three wheel are in excellent condition, which I show one other wheel in a photo. The tires are in average condition of wear. The wheel openings are very clean and the brake calipers are clean and have the original gloss black finish. Everything on the vehicle works. There is nothing that needs to be repaired. Even the light in the engine bay works! The vehicle comes with the Cabriolet tonneau cover, wind screen, both keys, owners manual, original sales brochure from 1997, tool kit, tire inflator kit  and all the paperwork and invoices that are in my possesion. My  vehicle was listed in Excellence Porsche Magazine, in the Feb 2012 and again in the May 2013 ownership experience section of the magazine. This section of the magazine is about owning a Porsche and I wanted to share and document my ownership experience with other Porsche Enthusiasts.  A new battery was installed in August 2011. There is no smoke from the engine when cold or warm. The windshield has no cracks or chips. The back plastic window on the Cabriolet top is clear and scratch free.  Basically this vehicle needs nothing to enjoy but to be driven and maintained. The options on the vehicle are: 445 painted wheel crests, 454 cruise control, 490 hi fi sound, 551 wind deflector, 692 remote 6 disc cd. 233 I don't know what this option is, 329 CR 210 Radio, 398 five spoke 17 inch wheels, 437 full power driver seat. The car also has the Porsche Drive Block option, which is a theft deterent sysyem. I will make the vehicle available for inspection if you would like to look at it or have a professional perform an inspection for you. I will assist with any transportation arrangements including overseas shipment but at your expense. I reserve the right to end this listing early. I am selling this car as is. I will not make refunds or price adjustments after the sale. My cell number is 248- five six one- 5121, if you have questions about the vehicle. I will not disclose the reserve price, but I feel it is very realistic and in line with the current market conditions. I will require a $1000 deposit by paypal within 48 hours of the end of the auction( non refundable) I require the balance of payment to be made by wire transfer within 7 days after the auction and before the vehicle can be picked up. I have a clear title in hand with no security interest on the title.  Good Luck

Our hats are off to Porsche's 2014 911 Turbo Cabriolets

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Porsche has just debuted its two latest decapitated rocket sleds today at the LA Auto Show, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet and Turbo S Cabriolet, which share their coupe counterparts' 520-horsepower and 560-hp 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engines. That kind of power ought separate a lot of hats (and toupees!) from heads.
The rear-engined Porsches put their power down through all four wheels, which allows them to launch from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds or less (the Turbo S Cab takes just 3.1 seconds), and both of them top out at 195 mph.
The 911 Turbo Cabriolet starts at $160,700, while the Turbo S Cabriolet can be had for a grand total of $193,900 (plus $950 for destination). Is the S model's 40 extra horsepower worth $33,200? We're not so sure, but we imagine Porsche won't have any trouble selling it.

Are you the Porsche Pajun?

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The prospect of Porsche building a smaller version of the Panamera has been an on-again, off-again proposition as the German automaker seems to go back and forth on the project. Last we heard, Porsche had pushed back the so-called Pajun (shorthand for Panamera Junior) until 2019 at the earliest, but we could be looking at it right here.
The automaker's everything-but-automotive division Porsche Design is working on a luxury condo complex called (simply enough) Porsche Design Tower. It's been three years in the making and will take at least another year or two to complete, but the gist of it is that the 57-floor building will include 132 apartments, each with its own en-suite garage in which the residents' cars will be parked thanks to giant elevators.
Porsche Design released a series of renderings showing what the property will look like once complete. Most of the renderings feature Porsches, of course - production models you can find in any of the brand's showrooms, like the one just 23 miles away in Coral Gables. But one of the renderings of the giant glass elevators shows something rather unusual.
