 Here you have the opportunity to purchase at the end of this auction, or perhaps sooner if you make a high enough offer. Stunning black paint that appears to be all original with almost no flaws, only one insignificant one on the hood but no dings, scratches, or rock chips in the paint or glass. Why am I selling this wonderful driver's car? And why do I call it a driver's car? Its a drivers car by dint of how it was equipped from the factory with adaptive sport seating, sport chronometer plus, thicker three spoke sport steering wheel, nice, wide Techart or stock 19" wheels with sticky Bridgestone Potenza tires, wider than I think I have ever owned before. Get in it and drive, its both easy and challenging to drive with reward to the best of your abilities. That being said you don't have to drive it hard, its a rewarding car whether you drive it hard or just puddle along with traffic. Good air conditioning, large sunroof, electric windows all make it easy and fun to be in and drive. This is one investment you wont regret, trust me on that one.

So why am I selling, and why after owning it nearly two years have I only put about 50 some miles on it? Well, its an age old story nobody wants to hear so I won't bore you with details other than to say a series of medical problems have prevented me from enjoying it the way I should have. Most of those have been resolved now, I do not have to sell it, I do not need the money nor the space but I simply want something different. Its time to move on to the next supercar, plus I should have purchased an open car, my first love. So now I am ready to move on to the next car to add to my stable. Not that I need any, I have around 15 vehicles and find it hard to give any one of them much time. So now I am determined to reduce my accumulation of cars and this one is first on the list since I want an open car. Who knows, I might even buy another Turbo but in Cabriolet form. Have one you want to trade? Have anything you want to trade let me know thru eBay messaging. Would consider an Aston Martin DB9 Volante or a Generation 3 Dodge Viper, both black or dark blue and convertibles. What do you have to trade?

You know about the options, the car is equipped as one would order a real drivers car with options including a sport shifter, adaptive sport seats, 3 spoke multi function steering wheel in matching grey leather, 6 speed manual trans and sport chronometer package turbo plus. And that magnificent 480 horsepower turbo motor, responsive, strong and reliable. One of the best in any car on the planet and destined to stay that way. Porsche keeps upping the ante with more hp and more performance but this car is your last chance to own a manual transmission turbo motor 911. The new 991's are, as I understand it all automatic transmissions with no manual option available. Pity for those of us who like to row our cars around with the shifter. As mentioned, this car does have the sport shifter as well, another driver oriented option.

You get your choice of either the lovely but rather common stock Porsche 19x8 and 11 alloys or a full set of the same size Techart black alloys with silver rims, the rears with a nice looking offset. Or for another two grand above the final selling price you can have both and the best part is they both have a good, usable set of super wide Bridgestone Potenza tires, the stock alloys having a shade more tread than the Techarts but they are all plenty usable with at least 70% tread by my estimate. I am not an expert on either Porsches or tires but have had lots of both and I can tell you with all truth this car is the best of the lot that have graced my garages.

With only fifty miles on the clock in the last nearly two years since the Nov 2012 purchase the car has in effect had only two real owners, the two prior to myself and I have the mechanical invoices for work done by the second owner only. I believe I have all the books and tools as well with one factory key. Work was done by RAC Performance in Carrollton, TX, the only authorized RUF dealer in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. The 60k service has been done by them. I did have a Pre Purchase Inspection done by Autobahn Motorcar Group, a Porsche dealer in Fort Worth Texas by the manager Devin Tyler done at 61,505 miles showing "no problem areas" and the manager told me that in 6 years the car had only seen a slight over rev a measly 6 times but apparently he did not record that on his report. He said that's unheard of. The car is clean, fresh and ready to go. Take a look at the pics of the interior, it looks new doesn't it? I am so impressed by the quality of the leather and the care that has been taken to maintain this car that it is essentially a like new car. My own tastes seem to lean toward open cars, convertibles and I do love the Aston Martin DB9 Volante which may well be the replacement for this fine automobile.

All this is in aid of selling my car which has a title clear and is totally free of encumbrances and is mine. I am not a mechanic, nor am I an expert on anything Porsche, just an enthusiast who has owned several but still I am not an expert at all. All of the descriptions in the auction are my opinion and mine alone. I can not verify anything other than the facts listed above, the car drives what to me is well and like new and I can see no problems with any of the systems or parts of the car. Come and see the car for yourself, I am located west of Fort Collins in the Foothills and will gladly arrange a viewing if you are local or want to make the trip, but do it before the auction ends, NOT AFTER. I bought the car sight unseen and have not regretted it in any way. It has cost me nothing to own other than the insurance and some minor improvements all of which are easily reversible. The carbon fiber rings around the headlites are held on with tape and are easily removed. The front valence under the grille is new and it replaced one that had seen better days by myself. I can at least do that sort of thing. I do not offer any sort of warranty or anything similar to a warranty for anything on the car, the facts presented are my impressions but are not those of an expert. Thus THE CAR CARRIES NOTHING LIKE A WARRANTY AND IS SOLD AS IS, WHERE IS WITH NO WARRANTY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED OR EVEN HINTED AT, NONE!!

The transport of the car is the sole responsibility of the buyer but I will do what I can to assist as long as it is understood that the transport is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY! It is yours if you are the buyer of this fine automobile. I do have a friend who likes to take cars around the country on a single car trailer and if he is available he would be your absolute best option other than one of the expensive enclosed carriers like Reliable. He is honest, up front and reliable beyond reproach. I have no problem sending the car overseas either and will assist where I can having already sold cars to Germany, France, England, even Uruguay believe it or not!

So lets remain friends and PLEASE do not bid if you are not prepared to pay and buy the car. If you were to be the high bidder but make some lame excuse like you bid drunk or by mistake I will be forced to employ any and all legal means to collect the winning bid. I cannot be swayed with excuses, real or imagined so lets do a good, clean uncomplicated transaction that sees the car paid for in three days as specified in the auction and you can keep it here as long as need be until it can be transported or you can come and get it yourself. Its well worth the asking price, I don't believe you will find a better one for any price. No wait, that makes no sense, pay more get more, that's the American way after all, right? This is however an excellent value and I don't believe you would regret the purchase at all.

Automakers want to stop the EPA's fuel economy rules change, and why that's a shortsighted move

Tue, Dec 6 2016

With a Trump Administration looming, the EPA moved quickly after the election to propose finalizing future fuel economy rules last week. The auto industry doesn't like that (surprise), and has started making moves to stop the EPA. Ford CEO Mark Fields said he wanted to lobby Trump to lower the standards, and now the Auto Alliance, a manufacturer group, is saying it will join the fight against cleaner cars. The Alliance represents 12 automakers: BMW, Fiat Chrysler, Ford, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Porsche, Toyota, VW, and Volvo. Gloria Bergquist, a spokesperson for the Alliance, told Automotive News that the "EPA's sudden and controversial move to propose auto regulations eight months early - even after Congress warned agencies about taking such steps while political appointees were packing their bags - calls out for congressional action to pause this rulemaking until a thoughtful policy review can occur." The EPA was going to consider public comments through April 2017, but then said it would move the deadline to the end of December. That means that it can finalize the rules before President Obama leaves office. The director of public affairs for the Consumer Federation of America, Jack Gillis, said on a conference call with reporters last week when the EPA originally announced its decision that it is unlikely that President Trump will be able to roll back these changes. Gillis also said on the same call that any attempt by the automakers to prevent these changes would be history repeating itself. "These are the same companies that fought airbags, and now promoting the fact that every car has multiple airbags," he said. "These are the same companies that fought the crash-test program, and now are promoting the crash-test ratings published by the government. So, it's clear that they're misperceiving the needs of the American consumer." There are more reasons the Allliance's pushback is flawed. Carol Lee Rawn, the transportation program director for Ceres, said on that call that the automotive industry is a global one, and many automakers are moving to global platforms to help them meet strict fuel economy rules around the world.

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S Quick Spin

Mon, May 11 2015

There are sporty SUVs, but until the Macan came along, the Porsche Cayenne was arguably the only pure definition of a 'sports SUV, a la sports car. The second-generation Cayenne is now five years old, but still looks fresh. It's handsome without obvious effort, especially with the optional 21-inch 911 Turbo wheels. The Cayenne S replaces the old, 400-horsepower, 4.8-liter V8 with the brand-new, Porsche-developed 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6. This engine is quickly proliferating through the range – it powers the current Panamera S and the Macan Turbo. That former 4.8-liter started life as a 4.5-liter with 350 horsepower way back in 2002, specifically developed for the Cayenne, and to the end it remained a potent engine. We tried the new forced-induction V6 with 420 hp earlier this year in the Panamera S, and other than a soggy exhaust note it maintained the character of the former V8 sport sedan, with lusty power and hasty delivery. So, how's it do in the Cayenne? Driving Notes The Cayenne S version of the TT V6 gets 420 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque. That means there's 37 more lb-ft than the previous V8, and 22 more lb-ft than in the new Panamera S. Yet the 607-pound difference in curb weight between the Panamera and Cayenne means the V6 has a heavier load to lift here. And it shows – the instant response is dulled. Stomping the right foot gets the eight-speed transmission rappelling through gears to provide a little kick, but real gumption doesn't come until the turbos kick in. We're maybe talking about a second of pause compared to the Panamera, but a noticeable second. Perhaps a small price to pay for slightly better fuel economy, if you really care about such in your 420-hp SUV. Part of why we notice that second is that the Cayenne S is so right-now everywhere else that any perceived hesitation gets extra attention. It offers a specific adjustability that many sports cars don't have, with one button adjusting the three-mode air suspension and a separate Sport button tweaking the steering, throttle, gear changes, and traction control. With Sport keeping all the horses at the ready and the optional Porsche Torque Vectoring holding things steady, you don't need to step up to the GTS trim to get immediate acceleration, crisp steering, flat cornering at very un-SUV-like speeds, and tremendous stopping power from a total of 20 brake pistons. That said, the exhaust note here could also use a shot of Bruce Banner's gamma rays.
