This is a fun-to-drive 1987 Porsche 924S, with a removable sunroof in original silver paint. Porsche brought the 924 to the US for two years as an "S." It has a 2.5 liter engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. This car is now a classic and is being sold "as is." 

Since I purchased this car in December 2009 I have driven it less than 10,000 miles. I am not a "car guy" and merely bought this because I loved the look. It has been excellent for me throughout but I have invested about $5,000 in it in the 5 years I have owned it. I am sacrificing the car to pay for a child's tuition to military school, so it's a sacrifice that is certainly worth it for me. 

It looks fantastic, 27 years after hitting the streets and definitely turns heads. A true car enthusiast will immediately understand the car's value and tremendous upside. It's a Porsche Lover's ideal starter car, as it has been for me!

*I had a new catalytic converter installed in December 2012.

For the true car enthusiast I won't need to tell you the uniqueness of this car, which runs fine although I have only taken around the local streets recently due to the fact I do not need the car to commute. A few things you should know:

*The is a small leak which has been diagnosed as coming from the gear box oil casing.
*The driver door was replace in 2010 when a Hummer hit the original, and as far as I know, the rest of the car is original.
*The removable sun-roof recently stopped opening, and probably only needs a new fuse as it has worked fine when I used the car regularly.
*The a/c probably needs a shot of freon but because I have it in Boston I did not bother to have it looked at.
*Passenger-side automatic window switch does not work.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S Quick Spin

Mon, May 11 2015

There are sporty SUVs, but until the Macan came along, the Porsche Cayenne was arguably the only pure definition of a 'sports SUV, a la sports car. The second-generation Cayenne is now five years old, but still looks fresh. It's handsome without obvious effort, especially with the optional 21-inch 911 Turbo wheels. The Cayenne S replaces the old, 400-horsepower, 4.8-liter V8 with the brand-new, Porsche-developed 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6. This engine is quickly proliferating through the range – it powers the current Panamera S and the Macan Turbo. That former 4.8-liter started life as a 4.5-liter with 350 horsepower way back in 2002, specifically developed for the Cayenne, and to the end it remained a potent engine. We tried the new forced-induction V6 with 420 hp earlier this year in the Panamera S, and other than a soggy exhaust note it maintained the character of the former V8 sport sedan, with lusty power and hasty delivery. So, how's it do in the Cayenne? Driving Notes The Cayenne S version of the TT V6 gets 420 hp and 406 pound-feet of torque. That means there's 37 more lb-ft than the previous V8, and 22 more lb-ft than in the new Panamera S. Yet the 607-pound difference in curb weight between the Panamera and Cayenne means the V6 has a heavier load to lift here. And it shows – the instant response is dulled. Stomping the right foot gets the eight-speed transmission rappelling through gears to provide a little kick, but real gumption doesn't come until the turbos kick in. We're maybe talking about a second of pause compared to the Panamera, but a noticeable second. Perhaps a small price to pay for slightly better fuel economy, if you really care about such in your 420-hp SUV. Part of why we notice that second is that the Cayenne S is so right-now everywhere else that any perceived hesitation gets extra attention. It offers a specific adjustability that many sports cars don't have, with one button adjusting the three-mode air suspension and a separate Sport button tweaking the steering, throttle, gear changes, and traction control. With Sport keeping all the horses at the ready and the optional Porsche Torque Vectoring holding things steady, you don't need to step up to the GTS trim to get immediate acceleration, crisp steering, flat cornering at very un-SUV-like speeds, and tremendous stopping power from a total of 20 brake pistons. That said, the exhaust note here could also use a shot of Bruce Banner's gamma rays.

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.
