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. |

Our love of SUVs is killing people in the streets
Tue, Jul 17 2018Americans are fond of supersized fast-food meals and colossal convenience-store fountain drinks, even though they're clearly bad for our health and U.S. adults keep getting fatter. We also like large vehicles, and our love affair with SUVs is killing people in the streets. According to a recent investigation by the Detroit Free Press/USA Today, the increase in SUV sales over the past several years coincides with a sharp rise in pedestrian deaths in the U.S. — up 46 percent since 2009, with nearly 6,000 people killed in 2016 alone. With SUV sales surpassing sedans in 2014 and pickups and SUVs currently accounting for 60 percent of new vehicle sales, it's no wonder Ford announced in April plans to cease U.S. sales of almost all passenger cars. And this followed Fiat Chrysler's move to virtually an all-truck, -SUV and -crossover lineup. While the Freep/USA Today investigation found that the simultaneous surge in SUV sales and pedestrian deaths comes down to vehicle size, it also points to a lack of action on the part of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), even though it knew of the dangers SUVs pose to pedestrians. Also blamed are automakers dragging their feet on implementing active safety features. Using federal accident data, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) determined that there was an 81 percent increase in single-vehicle pedestrian fatalities involving SUVs between 2009 and 2016. Freep/USA Today's analysis of the same data by counting vehicles that struck and killed pedestrians instead of the number of people killed showed a 69 percent increase in SUV involvement. As far back as 2001, researchers at Rowan University forecasted a rise in pedestrian deaths as Americans began switching to SUVs. "In the United States, passenger vehicles are shifting from a fleet populated primarily by cars to a fleet dominated by light trucks and vans," the researchers wrote, with light trucks comprising SUVs.
2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S
Wed, 04 Sep 2013A Wicked-Fast Street Legal Multi-Tool
Walter Röhrl was carving up the circuit in the Porsche 911 Turbo S like a skilled Jedi Master - and I was sitting next to him, mesmerized by the breathtaking show. I had strapped myself securely into the front passenger bucket of the all-new coupe less than a minute earlier, expecting nothing more than a few quick laps around a track at the hands of another celebrated race driver. Been there, done that. Many times, actually.
Yet this was different. Röhrl was not only calculated and methodical in his approach, but his rally-tuned cerebrum appeared to be actively reading available grip levels while effortlessly tossing the all-wheel-drive Porsche into each corner at gut-wrenching speeds. His hands were moving rapidly, sending tiny steering corrections to the front tires, and he was using every inch of the track to extract more speed. We launched over a curb, dropped a wheel in the dirt and then drifted around a wide off-camber turn. His human precision and focus was astounding, and the performance he was extracting from the machine was just short of breathtaking.
Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
