Gibsons B.C., Canada

I am the second owner of this car. Almost everything on the car has been upgraded. The body was totally stripped down and any rust (as the owner of the body shop said "These things started to rust in the catalogue.") removed and new metal welded about 10 years ago. So there are some rock chips in the paint, I tried to take some pictures to show but they didn't show up. The fenders and bumpers are fiberglass. Engine is a two year old custom build from a specialist in California, with about 1000 miles on it. Started as a 2.0L but added the big bore kit and other upgrades to make a very nice motor. Runs very well with a great power curve. Suspension is almost all 911 with front and rear anti sway bars, bigger brakes including a larger master cylinder. Wheels are Porsche wheels (5 lug) and are the weak part of the car, have shown the worst wheel for an example. The wheels themselves are fine, they just need to be painted. Have included a picture of the weather stripping on the Targa top, as you can see there is a tear in it, so not perfect. Car is a joy to drive and likes to be used daily. I am selling as we have moved to a small town and I just don't get a chance to drive it anymore, so figure someone should enjoy it.

Buyer to arrange shipping, anywhere. |

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Porsche acquires Kyalami race track at auction
Mon, 28 Jul 2014With more victories under its belt than any other manufacturer, you could say, in a figurative sense at least, that Porsche owns countless numbers of race tracks around the world. But here we're not talking about figuratively owning a track - we're talking about literally buying one. And Porsche has just bought Kyalami.
Kylamai, for those unfamiliar, is a grand prix circuit near Johannesburg in South Africa. Between 1967 and 1985, and again in '92 and '93, it was home to the South African Grand Prix, and has since hosted a variety of local and lower-level international races, but apparently fell on hard times. As a result, the track's owners - listed as Universal Property Professionals - put it up for auction. Bidders had to deposit four million Rand (about $380k) to participate, but after just 50 seconds, the auction was over.
The winning bid was placed - via telephone from the local press launch for the Macan - by Porsche South Africa CEO Toby Venter, who bid a reported 205 million rand (about $19.5 million) to take over the complex. The German automaker's South African division reportedly intends to keep the track open for racing, but could also be expected to use the facility for testing, customer track days and such moving forward.
