1999 Porsche Carrera (911) Tiptronic (auto) on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
This is a US version 1999 Porsche Carrera (911) (VIN: WP0AA2996XS620638) with auto transmission (Tiptronic). This is a very clean, rust free, original and lower than average mile Carrera. I bought this car for my wife as a ‘weekend car’ and it had about 86,000 miles on it back in 2011. The car performs superbly, the cornering, the acceleration, the handling, brakes etc – it is a true Porsche. While it is a really fun car to drive, practically speaking, my wife does not have the time to drive (with work, kids stuff etc.) at all. The last year, she drove it maybe a half a dozen times. The car now has 88,100 miles on it. We are now wanting to trade her primary car and is selling this car to partially pay for it. Though we hate to part with the car, we also now need the garage space. Let me describe the car a bit. My wife and I bought the car from Tennessee (we live in Texas). The prior owner also was using the car as a fun weekend car and used it sparingly. The car has been garage kept most of its time. I believe we are the third owners with the original first owner being in Florida. This car is in original condition and state except for the wheels and radio. The prior owner had upgraded the wheels to a 18” rim size with very low profile tires (making the car ride height very nice. The radio is an Alpine. The paint work is in very good condition. There appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender, at the same time, the car finish is very nice. The interior is as nice as can be. No rips, no stains, not really even much wear on the driver seat and the driver side carpet. All the little lights work, all the handles are there, the dash and gauges are clean as can be. The door panels great etc. The headliner is in nice shape. The dash does not have any cracks. The body is very solid and rust-free, straight and clean and shows no signs of any kind of previous body work. The color is Red, with beige interior. The bumpers are straight and clean, the light lenses are clean etc. The car runs great, we have had the oil changed, new battery, new tires, wheel alignment/balance. The AC blows cold air. The transmission shifts very smoothly, with the ability to manually downshift. While the car is in good condition, running very good, a few minor items needing attention are; driver sunvisor bracket cover is loose, a few small chips on front bumper, and there appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender. Other than this, we are not aware of any issues, at the same time, we are selling this car ‘as-is’ with no written or implied warranties. This Porsche Carrera is the replacement for the older and iconic 911 series and you will not be disappointed at the original condition of this car. It is a blast to drive, and built solid. It took my wife and I a while to find this car and now we are quite sad to sell it, however, have to as we do not use it much and we need the garage space. It has a clear title and I will provide the manuals and all that came with the car. Feel free to ask as many questions as you have. If you need the car checked out, please feel free to send your mechanic over to see the car first before you bid. Buyer will have to pay for the transport. I can help arrange reasonable shipping about anywhere. I am not familiar with overseas shipping, so please enquire first. Full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end. I am a long time ebayer and have a very good rating/score. I am setting a very reasonable reserve on the car and happy bidding. Please note that we must be able to close transaction in 7 days. Thanks for looking (and reading) and let me know if you have any questions at all. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla Model X towing drag race, Porsche 918 salvage auction
Wed, Mar 23 2016Watch an Alfa Romeo 4C drag race against a Tesla Model X towing an Alfa Romeo 4C. The ridiculous (or, perhaps more appropriately, ludicrous) race appeared in MotorTrend's Instagram, which was then shared on Facebook by Tesla Motors Autopilot Program Director Sterling Anderson, along with the comment, "Fun fact: many high-performance cars cross the quarter mile line faster when towed by a Model X than they do on their own four wheels." While we can't quite see the actual results of the drag race in the video, it appears to be a close one. Check it out in the video above, and read more from Electrek. A Porsche 918 Spyder has gone up for auction. Unfortunately, it's a salvage auction, and said performance plug-in hybrid is totally mangled. The gut-wrenching photos reveal an even sadder detail, as the car's odometer shows it only logged 92 miles before being involved in what appears to have been a terrible wreck (though the listing describes the miles as "not actual"). The current bid on the Copart auction site is up to $106,000, and the listing shows a $600,000 repair estimate. The very expensive hunk of metal and carbon fiber is located in Long Island. Check out the listing for yourself, or read more at MotorAuthority. GKN Driveline says that German drivers are more interested in plug-in hybrids (especially with all-wheel drive) than conventional hybrid cars. In a poll of more than 1,000 drivers commissioned by GKN, 75 percent preferred PHEVs to standard hybrids, while 61.2 percent said that 50 kilometers (31 miles) of electric range is enough for their daily driving duties. About 81 percent are "wary of hybrids," most believing them to be a poor value. 52 percent said their ideal car would combine a plug and all-wheel drive. "We believe that plug-in hybrids with all-wheel drive make sense," says GKN Automotive President of Engineering Peter Moelgg, "and the public's positive response to vehicle programmes that offer this combination – like the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, BMW i8, and Porsche 918 Spyder – can only continue to grow." Read more in the press release below. NEW RESEARCH REVEALS GERMAN DRIVERS PREFER PLUG-IN HYBRIDS Lohmar, Germany, 22 March 2016: Drivers now consider plug-in hybrid vehicles to be more attractive and practical than conventional hybrids, a survey commissioned by GKN Driveline has revealed.
Porsche 959 Prototype started it all
Wed, 11 Sep 2013While Porsche was unveiling the new Nürburgring-dominating 918 Spyder downstairs in Hall 3 here at the Frankfurt Messe, there was another Porsche supercar quietly and discretely on display upstairs in the same hall. That, of course, was the 959. But not just any 959: this was the original Gruppe B prototype.
The 959 was first developed as a rally car in the early 80s to compete with the likes of the original Audi Sport Quattro S1, Ford RS200 and Lancia Delta S4. But Zuffenhausen soon saw its potential as a production road-going supercar, emerging as a technological marvel to challenge the decidedly linear approach of the Ferrari F40. It still stands as a groundbreaking supercar in its own right, but also lead to the first all-wheel-drive 911 Turbo and set the stage for the Carrera GT and aforementioned 918 Spyder that followed to cap the top of the evolving Porsche range.
This original Gruppe B prototype, which presaged the production 959, packed a 450-horsepower 2.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six into an even sleeker form than the final version that followed. We caught up with it on display as part of a display of 80s German classics, of which this 959 prototype immediately stood out as the pick of the proverbial litter. Check out the hotness in the high-resolution image gallery above.
Porsche suspends 911 GT3 deliveries amidst fears of spontaneous combustion
Mon, 17 Feb 2014Seeing pictures of Italian supercars burst into flames by the side of the road, as our compatriots at Axis of Oversteer point out, has become something of a usual sight. But a Porsche? Surely those meticulous German engineers have got that taken care of, right?
Not necessarily. Reports coming in from Europe indicate that no fewer than five 911 GT3 coupes have "spontaneously combusted" in the past few weeks, prompting Porsche to launch an investigation. In the meantime, they've reportedly ceased deliveries of the new GT3 while they try to determine what the problem is and work to rectify it.
We wouldn't be surprised to see a recall issued once the problem is resolved, but for now, we'd encourage existing owners to be extra vigilant behind the wheel - or better yet, leave their cars in the garage for the time being. You wouldn't want to drive a 475-horsepower rear-drive sports car through a Polar Vortex, anyway, right?
