Greetings,

I'm the second owner of this 2006 911 S. I bought the car in Arizona, from the original owner. The original owner was a Porsche collector and well known to the local dealer. Since purchasing the car, it has been driven as an occasional use, Summer car, and has been an absolute joy to own. The car is in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition, as you would expect. There is nothing needed, and no surprises.

I welcome a pre-purchase inspection and will assist if one is desired. I'm only a few miles from the local Porsche dealer. Basic maintenance and oil change, filter changes are up to date. The tires are Hankook, Ventus Evo V12s, and they're 50% worn. The brakes are sharp and incredible. This is my second Porsche and I've come to know the cars well. I had a Cayman S before purchasing this 911S. The car has never been used on a track or driven hard in any way. I drove the car mostly on weekends and tried to drive mostly on smooth, country roads, which is where the car shines. I've used only Zymol for exterior car and the car has rarely been dirty enough to wash. There is a road rash on the back, right wheel. This came with the car when I bought it. The CD player doesn't eject as it should. I haven't looked into having this fixed. I enjoy the sound of the engine. There are minor stone chips on the hood, which I'm leaving for the new owner to either keep or have touched up. Touching up will weaken the original paint and I didn't want to affect the factory paint. I like to keep cars as they originally are made and I don't like modification. This said, I changed the indicator lights to be clear rather than yellow, which I believe is a nice improvement. I did this on my Cayman S as well. The original indicator lights will accompany the car.

The car has PASM, which is active stability control. This tightens the suspension and sharpens throttle response. This is actually very noticeable when driving. Many options, including: Power, heated seats. Bose high end sound. Sport Chrono Plus. Navigation, metal door sill insignias, colored crest wheel caps, short throw sport shifter, and full leather interior. Retail price was over $94,000. I have the original Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, which is a nice document to have.

Gorgeous carmon red over grey leather. Full leather package, including dash. The headlined is alcanterra (sp). Extra, Porsche floor mats included. The original keys are present. I've upgraded the key fob on the driver's key to the 997.2 key, which is much more robust than the 997.1 key. This is minor, but it's a $300 key. The car has a RayTel hands free system. This was put in by the first owner and it does work well. It links to my iPhone. The car is also equipped with a LoJack system, which I never activated. I don't fear theft, since the car is rarely anywhere other than my residence.

The car seems to have blue book value at $51,000 or so. I'm a reasonable person and will work to meet a serious buyer who wants a great car. I would like the car to go to someone who will maintain and enjoy it. To summarize, this car is exceptionally clean and well maintained. There are no surprises. Title is clear and unencumbered. I live about 20 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport and can accommodate someone flying in. I flew to AZ and drove this car to MI and it was a very fun trip! Please ask any questions.

Please note: I am the second owner of this car. The Autocheck report is stating more owners and this is incorrect. Possibly due to my buying from the dealer, but I'm unsure. I know for certain that I am the second owner and I can verify this with 100% certainty.

Porsche offering new tire option for Carrera GT

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Let's face it: finding new tires for older cars can be challenging if tire manufacturers have stopped carrying the right sizes (this writer went through Hell to find a set of 205/60-13s). But what about tires for low-volume supercars, which use sizes that often won't fit on high-volume production vehicles? The Porsche Carrera GT isn't that old and tires are still available in the correct sizes, but the German automaker has shown its support of keeping them on the road by working with Michelin to give owners yet another tire option. Enter the Carrera GT-specific Pilot Super Sport.
It's common knowledge that tires are one of the most important pieces of the performance puzzle, and Porsche claims that the PSS tires, sized 265/35ZR-19 front and 335/30ZR-20 with Porsche's "N0" rating, will improve the Carrera GT's handling and stability all the way up to its claimed top speed of 205 miles per hour. That's important for a car with razor-sharp handling characteristics. They'll also net drivers a 10-percent increase in fuel economy on regular roads and up to 20 percent on racetracks, Porsche says.
The PSSs use cutting-edge tire technology to harness the Carrera GT's 610-horsepower. They have a dual-compound tread that's different from the inside of the tire to the outside, which, Porsche says, helps steering precision and increases maximum grip. Aramid fibers, which are lightweight but just as strong as steel, are used in the tire's belt to reduce unsprung weight.

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.

Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
