A great car at a fair price.  The 1987-1989 911's are the last of the "true" 911 and my be the next 911's to appreciate in price while their owners appreciate the way they drive.  This is my 2nd 911, and will not be my last - a change in circumstances is forcing this sale.


I've owned this car for the last 4 years and have used it as my "daily driver" - that said, I worked from home and took it to the airport once in a while.  My kids have now outgrown the small back seats and I need to drive more often for my new job and I don't have resources for a 3rd car.  Sadly, my Porsche must go.

This 911 has been very well maintained with the assistance of a neighbor who is an MIT grad, retired surgeon and Sr. Porsche Car of America instructor who maintains his own 86 race car, an 87 Turbo a 356 with his lift and full set of mechanics tools and experience in his garage.  For work that exceeded our abilities, this 911 was exclusively serviced by Auto Associates, one of the top Porsche Garages in New England.  I have all the records from when I purchased the car, but nothing prior.  Carfax is clean.

There are just a couple of small issues with this car keeping it from perfect.

1) There is some oxidation on the front bumpers.  Typical for this car, and I have not addressed it because I was considering the backdate project.

2) I had a rust issue addressed - there were some rust spots in the bottom of the door wells.  These were professionally addressed by replacing the sheet metal from parts cars..it looks perfect.  You can tell some work was done because you can see a small seam inside the door sill.  There is no more rust on this car.

The paint is all original.  There are a couple of small nicks and scratches but less than should be expected in a car of this age.

I have upgraded to the turbo tie rods, the tires are Direzza Z1 star spec (very good condition) and I have a set of snow tires I'll include in the purchase.  I have manuals, and the tools.

Injectors were replaced May of 2012  and a leakdown was performed at that time:  1@4%, 2@6%, 3@6%, 4@8%, 5@6%, 6@6%

This is a great drivers car - ready to go to the track or to drive around town.

Please contact noahu <at> msn <dot> com for more information.  I would prefer a local sale and may terminate the auction at any time.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]

Thu, 22 May 2014

You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary

Sun, May 10 2020

After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.   Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
