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 Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim
Sat, 18 Jan 2014A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
