You are bidding on a 2001 Porsche 911 C2 with just over 105,000 miles. Overall, this car is in fine condition except for one major problem - it is leaking coolant into cylinder 2. Presumably this is due to either a blown head gasket or a cracked block. However, the car does run and can be driven short distances. Also, the leather on the left rear seat bottom cushion has cracked, but that can be easily replaced. Additionally, there is some chipping on the front bumper and the front edge of the hood.


Otherwise, the car is in good shape. The six-speed manual shifts well, the A/C blows cold, and it was fun to drive (until the problem with the engine). While it has a CD changer, I added an MP3/iPhone input which required disabling the CD changer. The CD changer is still in the trunk and should work, but I haven't used it. All four tires are new-ish and only have about 4400 miles on them. 

This car lived in California until I bought it in Feb 2011. I used it as a daily driver until the problem with the engine. As long as the engine is fixed or replaced this can be a fine car for someone else. If you're lucky the problem may just be the head gasket - in that case know that the car has not been burning any oil, although both valve cover gaskets have very minor leaks. However, if you plan on bidding on this car, price your bid as if the engine needs to be replaced, for as far as I know that is the case. 

This car can be driven in its current condition, but I would not drive it far. If you live in the Dayton, Ohio metro area you ought to be able to drive it home; otherwise you should have it towed or shipped.

While this car has a clean title, there is a lien on it; however the reserve price will be enough to pay the lien, so obtaining clear title will not be a problem. If you are the winning bidder and meet me at the credit union in Dayton, Ohio with cash in hand, the credit union will give you the title then and there. Otherwise they will transfer the title once the funds clear.

Porsche gives GT3 owners extra year of warranty, new engines in production April 22

Sat, 12 Apr 2014

While the auto industry reels from massive recall after massive recall, Porsche has quietly been working on a fix for an issue that's forced owners of the new 911 GT3 to park their track-ready rockets for fear of an engine fire. Thanks to a leaked letter from Porsche to a GT3 owner (which has been certified as real), we now have an idea of just where the German brand is at with the fix.
On April 22, Porsche will begin production of a new batch of GT3 engines for the 785 affected models across the globe. As you'll recall, the original issue rested with a screw joint that could loosen the connecting rod. The new engines have an "optimized piston rod screw connection," that should keep the connecting rod in place. Once technical validations are completed, production will kick off and new powerplants will be shipped around the globe for owners of the troubled cars.
Porsche will hand out a certificate to owners of affected cars once repairs have been completed, as a means of documenting the work. To make up for the trouble, Porsche will be giving owners an extra year on their new-vehicle warranty, while the 911 GT3 concierge will be reaching out to compensate them for having to park their car for so long.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.

Porsche Museum highlights history of the 911 RSR

Sat, 12 Jan 2013

Porsche has amassed quite an impressive trophy case in just about every racing series it has ever entered, and one of its most dominant machines has to be the 911 RSR from the 1970s. Taking part in various GT-class competitions, the 911 RSR managed to take home three international and seven German victories in 1973, its very first year of competition.
Not one to downplay its racing successes, Porsche has released an informative video detailing the 911 RSR's impressive heritage. The 1973 RSR model owned by the Porsche Museum is detailed beautifully on video, and we have to say it looks absolutely stunning in its vintage Martini Racing livery.
Have a look at the video below for some historic racing action, along with static shots of one of our favorite Porsche models ever created.
