I am the original owner of this factory ordered 2005 997S coupe with six a speed manual transmission. I am meticulous about maintenance and cleanliness, I am a non-smoker, I do not own a pet, and I am a ten year plus PCA member. This 911 is 100% stock, has never been tracked, abused or modified. Since taking delivery, my father and I have been the only drivers of this wonderful car. It is not my daily driver, but it is driven regularly. The exterior color is Seal Grey Metallic. The interior color is Stone Grey. It has the following options: Stone Grey Full Leather; Stone Grey Floor Mats; Power Seat Package; Self Dimming Mirrors; Park Assist System; Navigation; Bose Sound Package. All maintenance is up to date, and the following maintenance work has been performed within the last eleven months: oil & filter change, brake fluid change, coolant change, clean body drains, clean front radiators, replace cabin air filter, four wheel alignment. In addition, the following repairs/updates have been performed in the last nine months: Install LN IMS update kit; Install new RMS; Install new starter & alternator wiring harness; Replace intake plenum bellows. I have purchased and carry (in the boot) a 986 spare wheel, tire and jack, which I will include with the purchase of the vehicle; it is shown in the photos and it will fit this car. Please note that this car is eight years old and does have some minor cosmetic flaws, all of which are shown and specifically delineated in the listing photos. They are as follows: There are two scratches (one noticeable, one not) on the front bumper; There are two small scratches on the passenger side of the hood (one is a hairline scratch and one is a very small chip); There are two small dimples on the driver side of the car (one on the front quarter panel and one on the rear quarter panel, the one on the front is noticeable, the one on the rear is very slight); There are three very small chips on the passenger side door near the handle; There are two small indentations in the back of the passenger side rear seat (from a child seat which I just removed, so it is likely that these will dissipate on their own). I have, and will provide to the winning bidder at pickup, the original owner's manuals in their Porsche pouch, the original window sticker, all original keys and a Porsche certificate of authenticity. Please note that this is a used vehicle in excellent condition and it is being sold as is with no express or implied warranty of any kind. The winner is solely and fully responsible for picking up the vehicle. A $500 deposit via PayPal will be required within 24 hours of the auction close, and payment in full by cash, official bank check or wire transfer is due at or prior to pick up, but in no event later than five days following the auction close. I have tried to list all of the relevant information about this vehicle and its history, and I am very straightforward as you will see from my prior listings and feedback. Please feel free to email any questions you may have, I will try to answer them as quickly as possible. I also own a set of “Turbo Twist” wheels from a 996 with brand new Blizzak snow tires and 5mm spacers necessary to fit them on the 997S. I would sell those separately if the winning bidder is interested. Good luck and thank you for your consideration.

The mid-engine Porsche backstory

Thu, 09 Oct 2014

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.

What do J.D. Power's quality ratings really measure?

Wed, Jun 24 2015

Check these recently released J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) results. Do they raise any questions in your mind? Premium sports-car maker Porsche sits in first place for the third straight year, so are Porsches really the best-built cars in the U.S. market? Korean brands Kia and Hyundai are second and fourth, so are Korean vehicles suddenly better than their US, European, and Japanese competitors? Are workaday Chevrolets (seventh place) better than premium Buicks (11th), and Buicks better than luxury Cadillacs (21st), even though all are assembled in General Motors plants with the same processes and many shared parts? Are Japanese Acuras (26th) worse than German Volkswagens (24th)? And is "quality" really what it used to be (and what most perceive it to be), a measure of build excellence? Or has it evolved into much more a measure of likeability and ease of use? To properly analyze these widely watched results, we must first understand what IQS actually studies, and what the numerical scores really mean. First, as its name indicates, it's all about "initial" quality, measured by problems reported by new-vehicle owners in their first 90 days of ownership. If something breaks or falls off four months in, it doesn't count here. Second, the scores are problems per 100 vehicles, or PP100. So Power's 2015 IQS industry average of 112 PP100 translates to just 1.12 reported problems per vehicle. Third, no attempt is made to differentiate BIG problems from minor ones. Thus a transmission or engine failure counts the same as a squeaky glove box door, tricky phone pairing, inconsistent voice recognition, or anything else that annoys the owner. Traditionally, a high-quality vehicle is one that is well-bolted together. It doesn't leak, squeak, rattle, shed parts, show gaps between panels, or break down and leave you stranded. By this standard, there are very few poor-quality new vehicles in today's U.S. market. But what "quality" should not mean, is subjective likeability: ease of operation of the radio, climate controls, or seat adjusters, phone pairing, music downloading, sizes of touch pads on an infotainment screen, quickness of system response, or accuracy of voice-recognition. These are ergonomic "human factors" issues, not "quality" problems. Yet these kinds of pleasability issues are now dominating today's JDP "quality" ratings.
