Malvern, Pennsylvania, United States

2004 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, 6-speed manual.  British racing green exterior, camel brown leather interior.  Brand new black convertible top. 

 

This is a 2 owner car.  Purchased new in late 2004 from Pacific Porsche in Southern California.  The car spent its entire life in So Cal (Hermosa Beach, to be specific which is a very affluent area) until I purchased the car 15 months ago and had it shipped to me in Philadelphia.  It was owned by a man in his mid-to-late 50’s is my guess on his age.  Since I have had the car I have put approximately 2,500 miles on it and have had it garaged the entire time.  I have put a brand new top on it as well as did some minor mechanical work to it – tune up, oil change, and new battery…

 

On the outside the car is a 9.5 out of 10.  Not a scratch/dent/or blemish to be found on the car except a few rock chips on the front.  Tires are in very good shape, rims are perfect.  As previously mentioned, there is also a brand new convertible top.   Mechanically it is pretty much perfect.  I had it checked out by a Porsche mechanic and he gave it a clean bill of health.    The inside:  I would rate this car an 8 out of 10.  The dash, door panels, and carpet are all in phenomenal shape.  The only reason I rank it as an ‘8’ is that each one of the leather seats could use some patchwork.  I  detailed the small issues in the pics as accurately and honestly as I can.  The seats despite the two small holes, they are in good shape.  If you want this car to be a 10 in every aspect, you could certainly redo the seats.  I have gotten some estimates to redo both seats to the exact dye of the Porsche leather and it will run approx. 2K.  I’m sure you could get it done quite a bit cheaper but those are the quotes to do the entire job perfectly. 

 

I have babied all of my cars but I am getting rid of many of my toys – I have a 2007 BMW 550i (also a stick shift) that is in absolutely flawless shape as well as my 1986 Volvo 240 (again, 5 speed manual) that is in superb shape, and a Wellcraft 22 foot bow rider.   

 

 

I have included pics but can get more upon request.  Below is the carfax report that I kept from my purchase last year.  Do not let the miles fool you.  This is one of Porsche’s best engines produced.  If properly cared for and not abused, this car can easily top 200K miles as the engine is near indestructible on these cars.  This is a prime reason I bought it but due to some unforeseen life changes I am selling many of my possessions.    I am selling this as a very low reserve auction.  I will aid in shipping the car or can show the car personally if you are local.

Porsche kicks off Macan production at revamped Leipzig plant

Sun, 16 Feb 2014

After over two years of construction and roughly 500 million euros ($684 million at current rates) invested, Porsche finally opened its Leipzig, Germany, factory expansion on February 11. The improvements to the plant are dedicated to building the Macan and include a new body shop, paint shop and assembly line that are advancing Porsche's goal to sell 50,000 Macan's per year. The company believes that the new model is going to push it to over 200,000 annual sales 3 years ahead of schedule, and the enlarged branch can support even more Macan production, if there is demand.
"We are totally convinced in the qualities of this location and that the Macan will be a marketing success," said Porsche Chairman Matthias Müller during the opening celebration. The company opened its Leipzig factory in 2002 to build the Cayenne and added Panamera production in 2009.
The Macan models are due to launch in the US this summer with prices starting at $49,900. Scroll down to learn all of the details about the Macan's Leipzig assembly plant.

Porsche 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time

Wed, 04 Jun 2014

You might think that sports cars would have the lowest drag coefficient of all cars. And yes, they do tend to be more slippery than, say, SUVs or convertibles, but the sleekest vehicles on the road tend to be EVs, hybrids and luxury sedans. Sports cars, on the other hand, have aerodynamically detrimental needs for downforce and additional engine cooling. Still, the Porsche 911 is better than most, and has only gotten more so over the years. Its relatively narrow track and compact form mean it has a smaller frontal area than some other sports cars, and the gradual sweeping back of its headlights and windshield have only augmented its capacity for cheating the wind.
This 911 prototype, however, is even more aerodynamic than most. It's based on a "G model" 911 from 1984, but employed such features as covered wheels, a new rear spoiler and a reprofiled front end to drop its drag coefficient from 0.40 to 0.27, making it as slippery as a modern sedan and better at cheating the wind than just about anything built up to that point, save for maybe the Tatra 77, Citroën SM or Tucker Torpedo.
Elements of this prototype ended up gradually making it into production Porsches for years to come, and you can clearly see early influences on the second-generation 964 and even on the 959. It's featured here as the latest installment in a video series on rare historic Porsches unearthed from the company archives, following previous clips that featured a rare V8-powered 911 and a mid-engined 911 prototype. Scope out the latest episode in the video below.

Porsche 911 already testing next refresh

Wed, 11 Dec 2013

The latest Porsche 911 may still be a newer car, but that hasn't stopped the German company from starting development of a facelifted version of the rear-engined sports car, testing in what looks like southern Europe.
Due to hit the market in 2015, our spies think what we're seeing here is the new GTS variant, which, following the evolution of the last-generation 911, will make its debut on the facelifted car. Featuring the wider rear haunches of the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, the GTS should enjoy a slight power boost, to 408 ponies.
Aesthetically, there are some additional vents in the rear bodywork, along with a revised front bumper and tweaked day-time running lights. The taillights get some attention as well, and will likely grow over the current car's skinny rear lamps.
