For Sale is my 2001 Porsche 911 Cabriolet. This car is my daily driver and for an 11 year old car still looks sharp!!!
The Porsche 996 chassis is known to have issues with the intermediate shaft failing. Although, this was more prevalent in the earlier 996's it did happen later as well. Unfortunately, my car became victim to the IMS failure and required a full engine overhaul at 86K miles. The overhaul included the following and also included the upgraded IMS. For anyone buying a 996, I would recommend, if the IMS has not been upgraded by the manufacturer to consider the $1000 upgrade to mitigate any worries about the IMS failing. One less issue to worry about with this car.
Overhaul was completed on 3/22/2011 by UFO Motorsports Porsche Specialist in California. The engine installation was performed by Reeves Porsche in Tampa.
The rebuild cost $8,539.81 not including the install which including the initial troubleshooting of $2,921.50.

Cons:
Passenger seat has tears - can be re-upholstered (purchased seats as upgrades on ebay but did not install immediately. Realized later that the passenger side had water damage and leather was very brittle. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that when I first purchased them. The seats cost me $800 with shipping.
Washer fluid has a leak (warning light indicator will stay on). Fluid container will need to be replaced.
Check engine light will stay on because of air intake upgrade. Common issue when upgrading the air intake. Check engine light can be reset, but usually after a week or so it will come back on.
Front bumper has nicks from road particles/debris. Most of my driving is interstate driving.
Car is a great car to drive and lots of fun. Handles beautifully as expected from Porsche. I have been on the fence about selling it, but I have decided to get into a newer 911 and unfortunately can't keep two cars.
Please, I will only consider serious inquiries. No joy rides.
I can be reached at 727-421-9280 - usually late afternoon is best to see the vehicle. The vehicle is located in St. Pete Beach, Fl.

Next-generation Panamera will spawn variants, Sport Turismo in the running
Mon, Dec 1 2014A few years ago it took actual willpower not to consider what kinds of cool derivatives Porsche could make with the Panamera. Our fancies were helped by patent drawings of a Panamera convertible, rumors of a two-door 928 GT and internal Porsche sketches of such a car, and report after report after report that the current, second-generation Panamera would begin to expand the family. That hasn't happened, but according to a new report in Auto Express, the next Panamera will be the one to begin the bifurcation. Wolfgang Hatz, the brand's head of research and development, told the mag that, "We have prepared it for a lot of derivatives, personally I like very much the Sport Turismo." The Panamera Sport Turismo, remember, was the hybrid, concept wagon that rolled into the 2012 Paris Motor Show and made everyone ask, "Why didn't you build this design from the beginning?" It could have been Hatz's English, but after professing his ardor for the Sport Turismo, the executive said, "But there is a good chance for more derivatives." We're not sure if that means the Sport Turismo is all but approved, or if he was speaking of the third generation Panamera's new MSB platform in general. Even though Hatz mentioned a coupe and convertible, it sounds like that latter variant won't be happening, Hatz saying that the brand already has the Boxster and 911 Cabriolet. We're willing to forgive that omission – who's really looking for a four-door convertible, anyway? – and welcome the Sport Turismo first if Hatz will please please please get us a new 928.
2015 Porsche Cayenne spotted with facelift
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Although it's only been a few years since the current Porsche Cayenne was introduced, Porsche seems to be working on a midcycle update for its big SUV possibly in time to welcome the smaller Macan. As seen in these recent spy shots, it looks like the Cayenne will be getting a minor face- and butt-lift, but it's hard to say what other changes are in store or when the updated model will hit showrooms.
Up front, expect the Cayenne's new face to resemble what was just revealed on the 2014 Panamera, and we could also see this SUV using some of the new engines introduced on the Panamera including the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 or maybe even the E-Hybrid model. We're guessing that the new Cayenne could debut sometime next year likely for the 2015 model year. In the meantime, check out the gallery of spy shots above.
Porsche CEO Oliver Blume will be installed as head of the VW brand
Wed, Jun 3 2020Volkswagen Chief Executive Herbert Diess is planning to promote Porsche CEO Oliver Blume to take over as the head of the VW brand, according to a report from Auto Motor und Sport. Citing company sources, the German site said Bernhard Maier, who currently sits at the head of VW's Skoda brand, will lead Porsche in Blume's place. A shuffle at VW isn't surprising. The last thing Volkswagen needs as it transitions away from its long-running "clean diesel" TDI fiasco and into a clean electric ID future is negative press surrounding its burgeoning electrified lineup. Unfortunately, the ID.3 launch has been marred by software issues, with Manager magazine citing company engineers saying "the basic architecture was developed too hastily." Because of that underlying issue, various modules "often do not understand each other" and suffer dropouts. The brand-new eighth-generation Golf launch was also troubled and pushed back due to software problems. And more recently, Volkswagen was forced to pull an advertisement after admitting it was racist and insulting. That marketing misstep, according to the report, will lead to the firing of Chief Marketing Officer Jochen Sengpiehl. Related Video:
