  • Rear bumper pads matched to body color
6K Miles on a New Factory Engine:
  • In May, 2011 this car's first owner experienced an IMS bearing failure at 25,598 miles 
  • Momentum Porsche of Houston installed a brand new engine at the cost of $16,905 (see the receipt in photo 9)
  • The new engine has the revised IMS (Internal Main Shaft) bearing as well as a larger main seal to minimize the chance of oil leaks
  • This engine looks and and performs like a new engine
Ownership History:
  • This car spent its first 8 years with the first owner in Houston, TX until it was traded in to Momentum in 2011
  • The 2nd owner purchased this car from Momentum in 2011 and put 5k miles on it until I purchased the car in October, 2012
My Repairs and Upgrades:
Upon purchasing this car in November, 2012 I had a full inspection performed at 31,007 miles, and I had anything that required repair or service done at that time including:
  • 30k service (oil, filters, fuel system cleaning, transmission and differential fluid flush, etc.)
  • New xenon headlights and new windshield to improve the cosmetic condition of the car
  • 4 wheel alignment
  • New battery
  • New short shifter (shortens throw distance - much easier to shift gears quickly)
  • Several other small repairs (fixed some rattles, replaced the front trunk latch, etc.)
  • Everything works on this car, and no repairs or service are necessary at this time
Other Improvements:
  • New, lightweight wheels and Michelin PS2 tires (the lightweight wheels have reduced rotating, unsprung weight by 20 lbs. and have produced a noticeable improvement in handling, acceleration, and breaking)
  • New front floor mats with Carrera 4S logo
  • Dension iPod integration with control via the PCM screen (iPod located in the center console)
  • Rear bumperettes painted to match body color
  • Sport exhaust upgrade using factory mufflers
Condition:
This car was in amazing shape when I purchased it, and I've made it even better with repairs and improvements to bring the car up to as-close-to-new condition as is reasonable.  This car has beautiful paint with only a few blemishes shown in the last few photos.  This car has not been in any accidents and has never had any paint work.  You can see in the photos that the paint has a deep luster and does not have swirl marks or spider webs you would expect with a car of this age.  The interior looks new with the exception of the lower, left driver's seat bolster which does have wrinkles from age (see photos).  The leather has been properly maintained and still has the factory, matte finish look.  This car has always been garaged and properly cared for, and has never been smoked in.  This car starts immediately, idles smoothly, and drives like a new car.  No fluid or oil leaks.  No issues with the engine, brakes, suspension, electronics - everything works.  

The interested buyer will be able to speak with or meet the Porsche master technician that has worked on this car to assure you that I have accurately described the condition of the car.  All service receipts back to 2003 are included.

Why Selling?
I had a seal gray C4S back in 2004 which I sold when my first child was on the way.  Last year I decided that I missed having a 911 and decided to purchase this car.  My intention was to bring this car up to like-new condition and keep it for many years to come.  Then... this month I came across an opportunity to purchase a mint-condition 997 Turbo, and I have purchased that car.  I have room for 5 cars in my garage, and this C4S is now the 6th car and needs to go to a new home.  This car is temporarily parked in a climate-controlled storage facility with a car cover protecting it until it's sold to its next owner.

Price Rationale:
I purchased this car 7 months ago for $38k - a great deal given the car's excellent cosmetic condition and the new factory engine with 5k miles.  Since then I have invested over $10k to bring the car up to like-new condition (receipts included).  I am pricing this car for a quick sale, and I feel confident this is one of the cleanest 996 C4S examples available in the country.

Please email me with any questions.  I am available to show the car locally, and please note this is advertised locally and could sell at any time.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Porsche reveals first Macan driving and manufacturing footage

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

One of the more anticipated offerings of the upcoming year, Porsche's sporty baby Cayenne, the 2015 Macan, has already earned nods of approval from a number of Autoblog staffers. We named it one of the top five debuts at last month's LA Auto Show, citing its 400-horsepower turbocharged engine and other sporty bits as good reasons to get excited about Stuttgart's latest.
And while our first test may be many months away, we're keeping our ears to the ground for any information on Porsche's compact crossover. We're especially keen on stuff like this - our first look at the new model in motion and undergoing assembly at its Leipzig plant. Both are shorter videos, and while there's little of the glorious engine noise we've already been teased with, the videos do offer a great look at the handsome Macan on the road, as well as glimpse at Porsche's state-of-the-art manufacturing operations.
Scope out the videos below and let us know what you think.

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S named Motor Trend Best Driver's Car [w/video]

Thu, 22 Aug 2013

Motor Trend has named the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S its best driver's car for 2013. The annual
competition for the title included some of the best performance cars that have gone on sale in the past year. The new C4S follows the 2012 Best Driver's Car award winner, a two-wheel-drive Carrera S.
Determining the winner of the coveted title isn't easy. Each vehicle is pushed through Motor Trend's normal battery of instrumented tests. Editors then spend time with each car over a 500-mile tour of mixed conditions before a final batch of testing at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, with pro racer Randy Pobst at the wheel.
