Overall: Zips around like its new. Classiest car on the road even after 17 years. In excellent condition given the year and mileage. All known issues are disclosed below. 

History: It was purchased with 68,000 miles on it in 2010 and has been dutifully cared for since (see maintenance report below; records from when I purchased the car are available). Previous owners seemed to have taken good care of the car as well. They did one touch up paint job on the right side and rear fender due to scratches, but otherwise it has the original paint. Clean car-fax report. It has always been stored in a garage when not in use.

7) Replaced battery (9/9/2011)
8) Replaced spark plugs (09/05/2012)

Known Issues and Estimated Costs for Fixing Them:
1) Sun roof missing plastic guide. Opens with switch; needs manual help to keep spring-loaded part out of way when closing. Estimated fix - $150
2) Tear in right corner leather of sunroof (see photos)
3) Rear tire tread starting to wear. Estimated cost of tires - 2 x $272 = $544 (plus installation labor)
4) Failed last emissions test. Estimated fix - unknown. Unlikely to be a serious issue but I do not have details on what is wrong.
5) 6-Changer CD player installed in the trunk does not work.
6) Broken belt monitor. Estimated fix - $150
7) Rear main seal seeping- recommended replacement with clutch. Unknown cost.

General Disclosure:
I will be happy to have a mechanic of your choosing inspect the car at your expense. The car is currently garaged in Houston, TX. This car is in great condition overall. The issues described above are typical maintenance issues that arise with cars of this sort and should be fairly straight forward fixes.

Porsche Macan spied, all lit up and dodging flurries

Thu, 17 Jan 2013

We've seen the upcoming Porsche Macan testing on surface roads and even on the Nürburgring, but here we have our first spy shots showing a disguised prototype doing some winter testing in snowy conditions. Still obscured by plenty of camouflage attempting to mimic its larger Cayenne sibling, we still can't get a clear look at what the Macan's face and rump are going to look like, although it does appear that some details for the front lighting are starting to emerge.
Below the headlights, those are obviously decals trying to look like turn signal lenses, but it appears that there is still some sort of lighting being hidden judging by the small circles cut into the camo. Lower in the fascia, we can also see there are LED running lights not revealed on past prototypes. The entire rear end of this Macan prototype still appears to be tacked-on camo, but the side view appears to be in production form save for the poorly disguised rear quarter windows.
As we've seen in the past, Porsche engineers are still testing the Macan alongside the Audi Q5 with which it shares its platform. There has been no word as to when we could expect to see the Macan in production or concept form, but we'd have to guess that this compact crossover is getting ready to shed its camo very soon.

Son of Porsche 911 designer recalls 1963 Frankfurt debut

Wed, 16 Oct 2013


The Goodwood Revival is described by its presenters as the greatest motorsport racing party of the year. We often focus heavily on the motorsports, but you can't forget about the party. For the first preview of the new 911 Turbo in the UK, Porsche recreated its booth from the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963 - the time and place of the original 911's public debut.
Porsche's cameras also caught up with Mark Porsche, the great grandson of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche and son of the late Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche, who oversaw the design of the 911. Mark Porsche admires the 911's friendly design, which is set off by the round headlights, and says his mother, who was at the original Frankfurt booth in 1963, was milling around the booth at Goodwood - no doubt taking a trip down memory lane.

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
