VERY LOW MILES & FULLY LOADED: SPORT EXHAUST * PASM * SPORT SEATS * NAV * BOSE
* NEW CLUTCH AND NEW TIRES*
I am selling my highly-optioned 6-speed 2008 Porsche 911 Targa 4S with only 38,000 original miles. 6 cylinder, 3.8L
355hp with Sport Exhaust, PASM, PSE, Sport Seats, 19” painted metallic wheels, Navigation, Bose sound and other
custom factory interior options (see build sheet pic for more).
This car had a $112,000 MSRP and I am convinced these last of the water-cooled era are now becoming collectors
item, especially the big bad 4S wide bodies and the even more unique Targas. I would keep it but growing family
forces sale.
This loaded car is a head turner and a blast to drive; the sport exhaust is menacing and the large rear trunk makes
it more practical than your ordinary 911. The unique retracting glass roof means you can have all the pleasure of
open-top motoring with the security and sexy-lines of a coupe.
Non smoker and always garaged… inside has that great Porsche leather smell. This car began its life at Manhattan
Motor Cars/Porsche of Greenwich before moving to CA where it was serviced at Beverly Hills Porsche. I am the 3rd
owner and all my maintenance has been done by Porsche of Austin.
The car is in fantastic condition and has been properly maintained at no expense spared, with limited but tasteful
mods. Porsche of Austin recently replaced the clutch and flywheel for me with OEM parts and installed 4 new Pirelli
tires (all within the last 1k miles, buyer will have receipts and warranty). It shifts like new and is a blast on
the highway or country roads. For improved visibility, the rear tail lights have been upgraded to LED, as have all
the interior lights.
I have 2 sets of keys and will include the genuine Porsche rubber floormats, as well as the original Porsche floor
carpets and original rear taillights.
Zero mechanical issues, all preventive maintenance done and ready to go. She growls at the turn of a key.
The only imperfections I can think of are - trying to be as honest as possible but please study the pics:
1) Slight scuffing on the rear of the sport seats from previous owner in 2 spots, probably from loading golf clubs
(you can fit 2 sets in the back). These could be touched up easily but I never use the rear seats so never see
them.
2) Its only visible at close inspections but some of the wheels have spots where the paint is wearing thin near the
center caps. Im not sure if its from changing the wheels or just wear as it was like it when I got the car, but
they would look good touched up and perfect with a repaint. There is no curbing or damage to the actual wheels at
all.
2) The radio initially shows a brief warning about the CD player not being connected at startup, but it works fine
so I never bothered to have it fixed. The NAV works great.
Please let me know if you have questions. I have a video of the car running and a walk-around that I would be happy
to share.

Porsche announces plan to replace 911 GT3 engines
Wed, 19 Mar 2014About a month back, we reported that Porsche was suspending delivery of its 911 GT3 due to reported incidents of the engine bursting into flames. A few days later, Porsche told owners of the new track-ready models not to drive their cars and had their local dealers pick up the cars in question. Just a couple of days ago, we reported that Porsche was working on a fix, and now we have the official details.
Following an internal investigation prompted by two such incidents, Porsche has confirmed that is has identified the problem as resulting "from a loosened screw joint on the connecting rod." The loose connecting rod, Porsche found, damaged the crankcase, which in turn resulted in oil leaking and then - in at least two cases - igniting.
Our source is unaware of Porsche being contacted by GT3 owners concerned about the impact of a replacement engine on their car's collectibility or resale value.
Volkswagen profit jumps as it warns of a cooling auto market
Wed, Oct 30 2019FRANKFURT, Germany — Volkswagen says its profits jumped 44% in the third quarter thanks to a more profitable mix of vehicles in its lineup but warned that global car markets are slowing more than expected and lowered its forecast for annual sales. After-tax profit rose to $4.42 billion (3.98 billion euros) as revenues rose 11% to $68.27 billion (61.42 billion euros). The sales margin of 7.8% exceeded the goal of 6.5-7.5% as vehicles bringing higher profits took a larger share of sales. The Wolfsburg-based automaker pointed to the headwinds facing the industry by saying that it expects "vehicle markets will contract faster than previously anticipated in many regions of the world." It said sales would be "on a level" with last year's record of 10.8 million vehicles. Previously it had expected a slight increase. The company said its profits would be in the lower end of its forecast range. Global automakers are facing a slowdown in sales amid disputes over trade and from pressure in the European Union and China to develop and sell low-emission vehicles that require heavy investment in new technology. Ford and Renault have issued profit warnings in recent days, while Daimler, maker of Mercedes-Benz luxury cars, lost money in the second quarter and is expected to outline a cost-cutting strategy for investors on Nov. 14. Volkswagen is leading the push into electric vehicles in Europe by launching its ID.3 battery-powered compact car at prices it says will make zero local emission vehicles a mass phenomenon. The company was able to increase earnings in the quarter despite an 18% rise in spending on research and development.
Corvette gets slidey with Britain's best performance cars
Sat, 18 Oct 2014Autocar wants to find Britain's best driver's car, and it's challenging a murderers' row of some of the world's best performance vehicles to find out, including the latest Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. All of them were therefore assembled at the Castle Combe Circuit to find a winner.
If it wants to take the crown from this pack of mostly European competitors, the 'Vette has to beat some steep competition. Its challengers include monsters like the Ferrari 458 Speciale, Ariel Atom 3.5R and Jaguar F-Type Coupe. As a further hurdle for the winner to clear, Autocar also has last year's champ among the fighters - the Porsche 911 GT3.
Even if you're not at all interested in the C7, there's still something here for practically any fan of fast cars. The competitors include relative oddities among the pack like the Renault Mégane RS Trophy and Alfa Romeo 4C. Plus, Autocar has some well-positioned microphones that let you hear the Atom wailing like a banshee and the roar of the 458 Speciale. Check out the video to see which one of these all-stars takes home the award this year.
