Porsche 996 6-speed. Engine Problem. No Reserve. on 2040-cars
Miami, Florida, United States
|
I bought the car in May 2013 at 90000mi. I have all the service records since day 1. The car is 100% stock. It has 98489 miles now. I babied it and did a lot of repairs, this failure came without warning. Diagnosed as bad rod bearing by Svoboda Motorsports. Everything else works. If you want a project, this is it. The engine is running but making a big knocking noise. The car is not drivable. Sold as-is, where-is. Clear FL title is in hand. No loan, no liens. Recent maintenance includes: Rear shocks (Bilstein) and rear sway bar links at 98,000mi, trailing arms all around at 97,000, front lower control arms, inner and outer tie rods at 90,000mi, front shocks (Bilstein) at 81,000mi. Front rotors at 88,500mi. Rear rotors at 93,000 mi. Pads are half used. I will give an extra set of new front and rear brake pads with the car. Rear tires at 98,000mi, front at 90,000. Cooper RSA-3 all around. Transmission oil at 90,000mi . Clutch at 87,000mi. Spark plugs and air filter at 90,000 miles, water pump at 93,000mi, AOS/RMS/IMS (LN Engineering) in at 96,000mi, Last oil change was at 93300mi, I was ready to do it again and I'll give the new oil filter (Mahle) with the car... Battery is 2 weeks old (Interstate) as well as the cabin air filter. Again, I have all the invoices for those repairs. Car may be picked up at Svoboda Motorsport in Miami, FL. I live a few miles away and will assist where I can. 7 day auction, no reserve. Deposit of 20% is required within 72 hours of auction end.

Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.

Porsche 911 Aerodynamic prototype cheated the wind ahead of its time
Wed, 04 Jun 2014You 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.
