I purchased the 2001 996 porsche in 2009 with 40,000 miles and my mechanic said it was very well maintained. Since purchasing the car, it's run absolutely flawlessly with the engine and transmission function like every other 911 (had five previously) I've had before it. In fact, it's really the only car I would consider buying with high milage because they are so well made.

This car has be serviced religiously since I owned it with the major service being done after 61,000 miles including engine and trans oil and filters, all 6 ignition coils changed and belts. I have all the service documents from the first to the last including my bill of sale from the dealer that sold it to me.

The convertable roof was replaced about 2 years ago along with the hydrolics that operate it. Everything in the car works without fail including the convertable top, all guages, electric seats, side mirrors, interior lights and remote key access.

This particular 911 has the AERO package with ground effect side skirts and rear quarter fender kickouts that were factory installed as far as I know and make the car look slick. Also has the full leather package.

There are some issues that do not affect performance including: the all 4 wheels were damaged (see pics) by my tire store (no longer my tire store) when the dummy attempted to clean them before reinstalling. Needless to say they need to be restored. The leather on the drivers side door is deteriorating along the window (see pic). The driver's side seat back has a spot that has worn through showing the foam (see pic) and there was an accident that I was invovled in (light front end) that was professionally repaired. There is a bow in the radiator that my mechanic said to leave as is since it's not leaking and has performed just fine for 20k miles. I live in South Florida with 96 degree days, and this little car doesn't break a sweat. In fact the air conditioner blows so cold that at night you find it set at minimum fan otherwise you freeze. The rear tires also need to be replaced.

As for the exterior, the sides show straight and true. There's only one or two digs in the side panels. The car really looks good from the sides. The roof has some paint chips consistent with the age of the car. There's also a slight rub mark on one of the back fenders (hard to see).

Happy bidding. Please do not bid unless you're willing to inspect the car and make sure everything is as I described. I'm availabe to speak by phone at: 561-404-8888. I can assist with shipping but I will be your responsibility to pay for it.

Jay Leno puts carbon fiber wheels to the test on a Porsche 911 GT3 RS

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

Jay Leno's Garage usually focuses on looking at cars new and old, speaking to their owners and then Jay taking a drive to see what he thinks. However, Leno throws his usual shtick to the curb this week to do a full product test of the carbon fiber wheels from a company called Carbon Revolution. If you're not interested in hearing about wheels for 18 minutes, don't worry. They get mounted on a Porsche and are tested back-to-back with stock wheels, and Leno takes the 911 for a track test, too.
While carbon-fiber wheels aren't exactly a new idea, Carbon Revolution's goal is to create a lightweight, one-piece product that can be mass produced. The company even claims that it already has a deal with an OEM automaker to offer them on a vehicle in a few years. The key to the technology is that it doesn't need an expensive autoclave to be made.
In the meantime, the company's carbon fiber wheels are available as an aftermarket option for about $15,000 a set, according to the video. They weigh in at about 15.5 pounds each and offer OEM-levels of stiffness, so they could cut some unsprung mass off of a performance car. Watch here as Jay and his mechanic Bernard lap Willow Springs and give their feedback about what they think of this cutting-edge technology.

Porsche LMP1 to use 4-cyl hybrid powertrain [w/poll]

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

With the Formula One season - and indeed his entire F1 career - now behind him, Mark Webber took advantage of his early release from Red Bull Racing to try out the new LMP1 which Porsche is developing, undertaking the final test session of 2013 before Porsche throws it head first into the FIA World Endurance Championship next April. The session - which followed previous tests at Magny-Cours, Monza, Paul Ricard and the Eurospeedway at Lausitz - was held at the Algarve circuit in Portimão, Portgual, in collaboration with Michelin, which is developing the tires for the car. But that's hardly the news here.
No, the news is the first confirmation we've seen on the type of powertrain Porsche has developed for its new Le Mans prototype: a gasoline-burning four-cylinder engine with direct injection and two energy recovery systems. This contrasts sharply with the V6 turbodiesel and single electric motor used by Audi in the R18 e-tron Quattro (or at least the outgoing version) or the naturally-aspirated V8 and single electric motor found in the Toyota TS030. Flexibility in the rules set down by the FIA and ACO give the manufacturers that kind of latitude, prompting F1 teams like Ferrari and Renault to consider developing their new engines for Le Mans prototypes as well.
At this point Porsche isn't saying how large its four-cylinder engine is or how much power it will produce. But it'll be interesting, to say the least, to see how it fares against the Audi and Toyota in next year's championship and at Le Mans when it'll be piloted by Webber, former Lola LMP1 driver Neel Jani and Audi's own 2011 Le Mans-winning pair of Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard.

Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.
