2001 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible 2-door 3.4l on 2040-cars
Boca Raton, Florida, United States
|
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.

Porsche Cayman GT4 spot has us reaching for our driving gloves
Wed, Feb 4 2015We've got to hand it to Porsche for finally unleashing the potential of the Cayman, and not worrying about it infringing on 911 territory. The latest Cayman is, by all accounts, a superb sports car in its own right, gets even better as the Cayman S and that much more so in GTS spec. But the new Cayman GT4 takes things to a whole other level with a 3.8-liter flat six driving 385 horsepower to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Old school is what it is, and certifiably off the leash. We brought you the full skinny on the new GT4 late last night when it surfaced, but now Porsche has released a video clip highlighting what makes its new pocket rocket look so great. It's got Nurburgring graffiti, intimidated neighbors, barking fluffy dogs, gape-jawed children, and of course footage of the Cayman GT4 itself doing what it was designed to do. All we need now is to get our driving gloves on its Alcantara steering wheel and ball-shaped shifter.
Paul Walker's accident due to 'speed, and speed alone'
Thu, 19 Dec 2013Following an investigation into the crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and driver Roger Rodas, an unnamed law enforcement source told the Associated Press that there were no signs of mechanical failure on the Porsche Carrera GT that was destroyed in the accident.
The report from The Huffington Post claims the officer in question blamed "speed, and speed alone" in the fatal accident. The same report ruled out the presence of debris in the road, which may have caused Rodas to lose control of the V10-powered super car.
Engineers from Porsche are traveling to California to investigate the accident with the help of the Carrera GT's on-board data recorder. Until then, investigators won't speculate on the car's speed at the time of the wreck.
Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
