2006 Porsche 911 Carrera With " S " Upgrades-dual Exhaust, Chronograph on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
|
You are looking at a 2006 Porsche Carrera with upgrades to the S package. This is a rare low mileage performance car in excellent condition and destined to be the next "collectable" after the famed 993. Keith Martin's Sport Car Market 2014 Pocket Price Guide indicates the value to be $40,000-$50,000. Purhased in May 2013 with only one previous owner from a dealership in NJ. Additions to the car include the following:
The color combination is the unusual color of Midnight Blue (appears blueish purple, dark blue or black depending upon the light) over buckskin tan interior in near perfect condition (seat bolster on driver's side is unmolested) and plastic film is still under floor mats. There are no dings, scuffs, and Bose Premium Sound system works flawlessly. Tires have 90% tread or better. Normal brake wear. Expected small chipping along front valance. Aligned and drives straight. 6-speed manual shifts wonderfully. Engine lets loose with a deep howl when placed in "Sport Mode " from the chrome dual exhaust. This car has been well maintained and never driven hard or in harsh weather. Serviced in December 2013 at local Porsche dealership with the following notes " battery seems low and may need replacing" (low on charge because it hasn't been driven- now on trickle charger, but was replaced in August, " cooling system to be serviced," "wiper blades need replacing,"driver's window switch slow" (note window switch was slow because battery was low, but works as normal). Estimated cost of upgrades $10,000-$12,000- wheels, brakes, tires etc. The car was purchased through the dealer in NJ and now being sold to make room for another car. Seller to help with logistics of PPI. Shipping assistance to buyer will be provided. Title is held by local credit union and will be released through them once payment is made. The car was fully detailed in mid-December and has only been lightly driven since. After completion of sale, the car will be gone over again so buyer can expect a very clean car ready to enjoy. I will cooperate and work with the buyer to determine most efficient and safest transport to its new destination then help with logistics on my end. You will not be disappointed with this car or me as a seller.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 24 Feb 2014I knew it was a softball question, but I asked it anyway. It's pretty standard for automakers to offer up some examples of competitors when they invite the media to drive a new vehicle for the first time. If not stated outright, it's just as standard for some journalist to query about the competitive set as soon as the Q&A begins. I knew full well that Porsche believes it has a valuable new niche to itself with the 2015 Macan (and especially with the Macan Turbo), but I wanted to hear the answer to the competitor cars question anyway.
Porsche CEO Matthias Müller didn't hesitate for a second to respond. With a half-smirk appropriate to an executive that is about to launch the (very probably) most profitable and best-selling product in his brand's lineup he chuckled, "Of course, I could be arrogant and say this car has no competitors..."
Arrogant? Well, the grinning Müller certainly didn't give off a humble vibe as he proceeded to count down a list of German and British utility vehicles from various classes that are clearly behind the pace of the Macan in either looks, luxury, or sporting prowess - Range Rover Sport, BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK among them.
Porsche celebrates 5M Facebook fans with crowdsourced one-off 911
Mon, 05 Aug 2013Porsche's Facebook fan base appears to be accelerating as quickly as the cars it builds. The German automaker has just unveiled a special 911 Carrera 4S designed with crowdsourced input as a way to thank its five million Facebook fans.
The 911 features special Aquablaumetallic paint from Porsche Exclusive, contrasting 20-inch white Carrera S wheels and pinstriping, along with an aero package including a fixed rear wing. Inside, there are unique backlit sill plates and the obligatory dashboard engraving that says "Personally Built by 5 Million Porsche Fans."
As a way to turn at least one virtual thumbs up into its more meaningful physical-world equivalent, Porsche is holding a contest to win the chance to drive the car at Britain's Silverstone racetrack - and bring a friend - and nine lucky runners-up will win 1:43-scale models of the 911.

Porsche tops J.D. Power quality index as Korean brands soar
Thu, Jun 18 2015While complaints about infotainment systems remain a thorn in the side of automakers for J.D. Power's annual Initial Quality Study, there's a lot to celebrate this year. The average number of problems reported per 100 vehicles fell to 112 in 2015 – a three-percent improvement compared to 116 in 2014. The results of this year's survey are based on the responses of over 84,000 people about problems within the first 90 days of buying or leasing a 2015 model-year vehicle. For the third consecutive year, Porsche tops the rankings with an average of 80 problems per 100 vehicles. Although, that's slightly more than the 74 the German sportscar maker scored in 2014. "While the Japanese automakers continue to make improvements, we're seeing other brands, most notably Korean makes, really accelerating the rate of improvement," Renee Stephens, vice president of US automotive quality at J.D. Power, said in the study's release. In fact, Kia ranks as one of the biggest movers in this year's list. The Korean brand jumped to second place from seventh last year. The company had an average of 86 problems per 100 vehicles, a 20-point improvement. Third place went to Jaguar with an average of 93 problems reported, versus last year's second-place finish with 87 of them. Fourth place was Hyundai, and fifth-place Infiniti also earned a gold star for improvement with 97 issues per 100 vehicles – 31-points better than last year. Fiat still anchored the bottom of the list. However, its 161 problems this year is a lot better than the 206 in 2014. Ranked by nationality, Korean brands (Hyundai and Kia) are now leading the industry in initial quality with an average of 90 problems reported per 100 vehicles. According to J.D. Power, this is the first time Europe's figure beat Japan with 113 and 114 issues, respectively. The American brands also averaged 114. Whereas General Motors dominated last year, the segment awards are spread out in 2015. GM, Hyundai, Nissan, and Volkswagen Group are all tied with four models each earning prizes.
