Up for sale is a my 2006 911 Cabriolet.  She's a very dark charcoal grey color which appears nearly black in the dark.


I've had the car for only 7 months but I've decided to sell as I need to purchase a 4WD pretty quick and do not have room .  I've only put about 2000 miles on it (if that) since purchased from the manager of a large Car Dealership.   In that time I've done the following upgrades:

  •  36K mile service done at Beverly Hills Porsche
  • Red OEM seatbelts installed at BV Porsche (always liked that look)
  • Had a full detail at the cost of about 900.00 to make her look like new about 3 months ago
  • Installed an Alcantara steering wheel with red stripe
  • Installed an Alcantara shift boot and knob to match with red stitching
  • Installed a carbon fiber cold air intake from fabspeed to improve the sound and a little more power  
  • installed clear front reflectors to replace the stock yellow ones
Tires are about 60% if not better, rims are perfect without even a knick.  Motor looks like new and all stock other then the intake.  She runs perfect, looks amazing and everything works like new.

Stock options include heated seats, Bose sound system, red calipers, 6 speed manual transmission, cruise control, xenon lights, etc.  Also comes with a car cover and the original intake.  Exhaust is stock.

Overall she shines like new, runs perfect and really needs nothing!  

Only imperfections I would like to point out is a few small rock chips on hood which can be expected with a used car, a small bit of rub marks under the front facia from steep driveways and a very small rub on the front right wheel arch on the nose portion.  The picture looks worse then it is and honestly, I'm a perfectionist but didnt even notice it until I was snapping some pictures.  I think it happened at valet here in santa monica as I don't recall ever rubbing it.  I'm sure it would cost next to nothing to fix, very minor and again, on the rubber nose portion.

I love this car, had a 911 turbo in the past, a 360 modena, an M6, bunch of cars and bikes but this is one of my favorites...just can't find the room for her right now and won't park it on the street.  Interior is perfect but the heater button has the typical wear of the paint wearing off...I've seen that on every used porsche, suppose it could be touched up.

Thank you for looking, I have it listed locally as well and reserve the right to end the auction early if needed.  Its financed through Wells Fargo so you'll need to allow me time to pull the title.

One more thing..  It only had one key when I bought the car, I bought another from BV Porsche, had it programmed and spent another 500 on that as well :(


On Apr-14-13 at 10:35:50 PDT, seller added the following information:

Few things I need to add.


1.  I added more pictures that I just took today outside of my home so you can see it in the daylight
2.  Added a photo of the small rub I mentioned above to show how you can barely see it unless you're looking for it.  Passenger side, on the nose pc in front of the tire
3.  Miles are actually 38719 NOT 38500, I'll sell it will less then 38850 though as I'll likely take it for another wash and drive around Santa Monica
4.  I had Bev Hills porsche go through it prior to buying it last time, they said all was great.  They did not mention the Navigation not working but it wont come on and I think its just because I (nor the prior owner) has the DVD for it.  You'll need to buy one if you want the Nav, I just don't use it
5.  ONLY small issue that I just noticed, inner door handle on driver side (there's a picture), pops out about 1/4" of an inch when driving, not a huge deal but this just happened last week and not sure why.  Perhaps just a loose spring, I don't have time to take it in so selling as is. That's truly the only thing wrong, just forgot about it as I just noticed when taking the pics this morning.
6.  And yes, she's as pretty in person.  Really in great shape!
7.  Color as per the photo is Basal Black Metallic.

Thank you once again


On Apr-14-13 at 10:43:22 PDT, seller added the following information:

I can put the stock intake back on if you prefer.  I just put this one on about 500 miles ago if that.  Neighbor has one on his R8 and it sounds nice so thought I would try the same.  Had a problem with my 911 Turbo back in the day with resonating exhaust so I'll never do that again.  This intake adds a little more throaty sound when you get on the throttle a bit.  Last comment, former owner was in his late 50's, I'm in my 40's, we did not race it around or abuse in any way.

Porsche calling in two Cayennes

Sun, Jan 4 2015

We regularly see recalls addressing all manner of problems (or potential problems) affecting any number of vehicles: hundreds, thousands, even millions. Some are too small to bother reporting, but once in a while one comes along that's so ridiculously small that we couldn't pass it over. Like this latest one from Porsche. "Due to a manufacturing error," says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque." The recall affects the 2015 Cayenne... but just how many of them, you ask? Two. Not two hundred, not two thousand, but two: one Cayenne Diesel and one Cayenne S, manufactured between November 26 and... November 27, 2014. That very well might make this the most methodically German recall in the history of recalls. If you happen to be the owner of one of those two vehicles, expect to hear from Porsche with instructions to bring your Cayenne in to have the suspension re-aligned and the screws tightened. RECALL Subject : Front and Rear Alignment may be Incorrect Report Receipt Date: DEC 29, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V824000 Component(s): SUSPENSION Potential Number of Units Affected: 2 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2015 Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S vehicles manufactured November 26, 2014, to November 27, 2014. Due to a manufacturing error, the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque. CONSEQUENCE: If the suspension alignment was incorrectly performed, vehicle handling could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will perform a front and rear suspension alignment, and check the screw connections for the proper torque, retightening as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification date. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AF04. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Why won't automakers slap on a turbo badge anymore?

Thu, Sep 10 2015

Where have all the turbos gone? Not the actual pieces that go in the engine, mind you, those are everywhere these days as automakers downsize cylinder counts and boost efficiency and CO2 claims. But the turbo badges and fanfare are missing. Back when turbos were something to get excited about there was "turbo-driven," "turbonium," and "The Turbo Zone," among other silly lines. But now that basically every car is getting some sort of boost even on the lowliest trims, automakers are almost sliding in the turbos under the radar. Or if you look at some of the nomenclature, pretending they don't exist at all. The 911 Turbo badge shows where the car goes from being sane to lunatic. It's an important border. The latest automaker to hide that it has boosted the turbo presence is Porsche with the 2017 911 lineup. Even the standard Carrera models now get turbocharged flat-six engines, meaning the 911 Turbo models aren't quite as special as they once were. Porsche is in a sticky situation with this. The 911 Turbo, after all, signifies where the 911 family takes off from being a sports car and becomes the Ferrari fighter. The 911 Turbo badge shows where the car goes from being sane to lunatic. It's an important border, but now Porsche has crossed it and is trying to downplay the fact. There are a lot of exaggerations with displacement badges today, with claims the 2.0-liter turbo four in a Mercedes C Class equates to a naturally aspirated 3.0-liter six to make a C300. Volvo is pretty far up there, too, saying an XC90 T8 means V8 power, even though it's a 2.0-liter turbocharged and supercharged four with electric assist. I don't know why BMW can't just call the car a 330i Turbo, rather than inflating the numbers up to 340i. Saab tried all of this back in the '90s when it decided to turbocharge its entire lineup, from light pressure units all the way up to models actually called "Saab 9-3 HOT" (for high-output turbo). But then the brand deleted any external reference to the turbo under the hood and people wondered why they were buying a $42,000 four-cylinder convertible. And that didn't turn out well. Even though these turbo replacements often make more power than their naturally aspirated predecessors, they're very different engines. People knew something changed when they exchanged their leased 328i with a 3.0-liter six for a 328i with a 2.0-liter turbo four.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic Cars” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.  $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.  $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
