Up for auction in my 1976 PORSCHE 912e. This car was a part of my 52 car collection of vintage air cooled Porsche's and vintage Volkswagens, this is the very last air cooled German car left in the collection to be sold.I am a long time member in good standing with the Porsche Club of America (PCA) and I have a great reputation in the industry. The car was found and purchased for me by a Southern California auto broker in 2009 and was delivered to me at my home in Durango Colorado on 11/4/2009. The auto broker that purchased the car for me has located and purchased many cars for me over the years and he knows my high standards for purchases. The cars I buy have to be rust free, wreck free and as original as possible and this Porsche 912e met all those guidelines. When I purchased the car it had a very low 133,559 original miles on the odometer and the car now has only 133,855 original miles on the odometer.This is the last car to be sold because I purchased this car for my wife. She dearly loves the car but she never drives it and we are at a point in ours lives where we have two kids in college and our third child is going to need a first car soon so we are selling this car to purchase a new truck for our Son. The Porsche 912e is a very rare car with only 2099 of these cars ever being built and only for the North American market . Out of that 2099 only 500 had sunroofs and only 500 had air conditioning. This car originally had an air conditioner (making this car one of the really rare examples) and the air conditioner pump is still on the car but the controls and vents that were mounted under the dash of the car have been removed by the previous owner. My broker has tried to get this piece from the previous owner several times over the years but has had no luck (this piece is a very common part and is readily available). The 912e is a 911 in every aspect with the exception of 14' Fuchs wheels instead if the 15' that the 911. The 912e gets smaller brakes and the Boxer style four cylinder motor that was derived from the Porsche 356. The 912e was the last four cylinder rear engine car that Porsche ever built. The 912e is much lighter than the 911 and is considered by many top collectors to be the best drivers car Porsche ever produced. The Boxer style motor has been proven over and over through time to be the most reliable and "bullet-proof" motor ever produced by Porsche. Although Volkswagen was heavily involved with Porsche in 1976 the motor in the 912e is all Porsche. The 912e has great fuel economy and the motor in very powerful, it is coupled with a smooth shifting 5 speed transmission. The 912e has a fuel range of 600 miles per tank of gas and it is very inexpensive to run and maintain. Porsche has alway overbuilt their cars and the 912e is no exception. I STRONGLY recommend that you look at Porsche912e.com for a better history and details on this fine automobile. Being very picky as a buyer I purchased this car for my wife knowing that the car is a solid investment quality automobile. This Porsche 912e is a factory yellow car with black vinyl interior, the paint is mostly original but the doors have been painted probably sometime in the '80's and the paint is in really good condition. The interior is completely stock (with the exception of a aftermarket radio that does not work). The only flaws on the interior is a split seam on the passenger seat which is easily repairable and there is one crack on the original dash on the passenger side. The VIN # on this car is 9126001261 making this car the #1261 car to roll off the production line. This car is a very original, complete, well sorted and well maintained numbers matching automobile and it is an original California Blue Plate Car (Blue Plate comes with the car) that has been garaged/ warehoused it's entire life in Southern California and more recently Central Texas. This 912e has to be one of the best original/survivor 912e's in the world, it starts, runs, shifts, drives and stops very well and I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere at any distance. The car sounds, feels, smells and like only a Porsche can and it still has that "PING" sound when you shut the doors (Porsche owners will know what I mean). All the gaps are great and it retains all of it's factory glass. 912e's are coming into the realm of being highly sought after collector cars that are gaining tremendously (and quickly) in value, prices on #1 and #2 condition 912e's have doubled since 2010 and that fact makes it a good time for me to sell the car. This is an opportunity for someone to buy this car at a good price and sit back and watch the car appreciate in value with very little maintenance cost. DON'T PASS THIS CAR UP BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT. This car will drive anywhere and this is a car that you can fly in and drive it home however there are no warranties or guarantees expressed or implied. Outside inspections are welcomed by appointment only and the deposit is non-refundable. Please take a look at my feedback when considering the purchase of this automobile. Bid with confidence and bid to win this beautiful 1976 porsche 912e. Thank you for taking the time to look at my auction and as always HAPPY MOTORING.

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.

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Road Test Editor Zac Palmer. The two talk about their experiences in the 911 Turbo and Turbo S Cabriolet, then pivot to talking about the BMW M3 Competition on the Indiana Nurburgring. They follow that up by discussing driver assistance systems, given recent experience in the 2021 Cadillac Escalade with Super Cruise and Hyundai's Highway Drive Assist. After that, they get into some news, talking about the new Lotus Emira and Genesis G80 Sport. Finally, they wrap up with a rather interesting two-for-one "Spend my Money" edition where they help two listeners with different car buying conundrums.

As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.
