1984 Porsche 928 S at 77,xx actual miles).(U.S. legal  euro spec car). Exterior: Shiny black paint. Black canvas top with  power glass sun roof both are rare. Some Porsche people say its factory installed, some say euro after market. I don't know but the headliner is molded to/for the larger shaded  glass sun roof.(maybe it was a euro trend back in the day).  The interior is blue with all new matching blue leather seating, new foam padding as well. medium blue. Good carpet/ Porsche logo matts, has the spare tire and tool kit' all lights and power options work with the exception of: the heat temp. adjusting lever it works, just on or off, fan speeds all work. The a/c did work  (says the previous owner till the belt tensioner got broke/ bent),  I saw that its all there  belt as well, just wont tighten enough. The period correct 16" gold center BBS rims are in great shape, no weird  tire wear patterns. (The Oregon title says  reconstructed, haven't learned what this represents). However my S 10 deemed totaled  after a deer strike at 30mph and slowing. Yep, $113.00 ,of E bay after market parts, head light, grill & blinker and its to/from work again. Not to say the DMV is wrong, just that the Porsche drives/feels like a 77,xxx mile car and a body shop did a great job. (Yes the front spoiler/bib) is missing. The older gent. I bought this from said he hit a parking stop and then took it off. I'd bet that's when the a/c quit as well. OK, the euro spec  differences : rear, no big bumps at the sides of the plate area, has red rear fog light, side markers may be different too. engine U.S. model 234 hp. this  euro with twin distributors, euro cams& 10.4:1 compression , book says 310 hp, Porsche folk know they dyno @ 330hp. Quality headers can increase these numbers by 20%. This car has those headers. So the numbers are higher 310=372hp., 330=396 at 20%.  Its a 5 speed and the final drive is 2.73. the vin # is wp0zzz92zes841383. the number in the  official box is a 914 I have  call ,email you questions be for winning the car it does drive firm, straight . Western states , if it helps ,I may  be willing to drive this car you @ $2.00 a mile. all payments must be paid in full(including del. costs to be paid before hand . proof of insurance faxed/ emailed showing this car is covered. thank you , 541-680-0053, will return all missed calls


On May-21-13 at 06:51:09 PDT, seller added the following information:

hello , I didn't make clear, that there are some  e bay glitches that won't accept  euro  vin#'s .  And if the cars year is newer than 1979 it won't accept as well . That's why this add has two model year dates and  a 914 Porsche vin# . The car is a 1984.  This was the only way  to complete/comply with the auction add.   thanks

Driving the million-mile Porsche 356

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

Maybe you've seen or heard about the Porsche 356 with almost one-million miles (though it doesn't look like it), but Petrolicious finally has produced a video to show us what it's like to drive the 982,000-mile car. Guy Newmark's beautiful, dark-blue 1964 356C looks great in motion - much better than in photos - and serves to remind us not only what meticulous car care can do for old classics, but that old Porsches were built to last.
So how fastidious is Newmark about maintaining it? He takes the car to his mechanic of 40 years every 3,000 miles for an oil change and to fix anything that needs attention.
Newmark says his 356 "is everything you could want," and that he finds errands to do just to go drive it. We would, too. The next-best thing is to watch the inspiring video below of the well-traveled Porsche.

Lexus leads J.D. Power's Vehicle Dependability Study for 2021

Thu, Feb 18 2021

J.D. Power's latest Vehicle Dependability Study is out, and, not surprisingly, Lexus sits at the top for the ninth time in the last 10 years. Right behind Lexus is Porsche, followed by Kia, which is the highest-ranked mass-market brand in the study. Genesis, last year's top-ranked brand (in its first year included in the results), fell from first to eighth, though the G80 sedan did earn an award in its midsize luxury segment. The Porsche 911 was called out as the Most Dependable Model by J.D. Power for the second time in the last three years. The vehicles being studied are from the 2018 model year, which means owners have had three years to get to know their cars and trucks. It's notable that this year's study shows a marked improvement in overall vehicle dependability as tracked by J.D. Power. The overall level of problems, scored by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100), declined by 10% compared to last year.  "The study results validate what we have known for some time," said Dave Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power. "Automakers are making increasingly dependable vehicles — but there are still some problem areas that need to be addressed and some warning signs on the horizon." Tesla makes its inaugural appearance on the Dependability Study, though its score of 176 PP100 isn't official. Tesla is the only automaker that has chosen not to grant J.D. Power permission to survey its owners in all 50 states. As we've pointed out in the past, the Vehicle Dependability Study includes eight major vehicle categories grouped by J.D. Power as follows: audio/communication/entertainment/navigation (ACEN); engine/transmission; exterior; interior; features/controls/displays (FCD); driving experience; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; and seats. All issues reported by owners are all tracked equally, which means a problematic phone pairing procedure dings an automaker's rating the same as a blown engine or transmission. And in fact, the ACEN category has more reported problems than any other, which means the majority of problems reported don't lead to a vehicle that leaves its owner stranded.

A spotter's guide to Super Bowl LIV car commercials

Fri, Jan 31 2020

Set to kick off on Fox at 6:30 ET on Sunday, February 2, from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, the big game will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Throughout Super Bowl LIV, viewers will see about 50 commercials, each of which costs as much as $5.6 million per 30 seconds, according to AdWeek. Originally, there were more than 77 ad slots, so several companies could be paying well more than $10 million for a single, longer commercial. Numerous car companies have already announced their commercials, or their intentions to show commercials, during the game. Here's a roundup of the ones we know about so far. During the game on Sunday, we'll be livestreaming and adding links to the new commercials as they become available, so check back with us for that post.  Audi: E-Tron Sportback Maisie Williams has experience wearing many faces, and in Audi's Super Bowl commercial, she does her best Elsa impression. In the spot, titled "Let It Go," Williams faces the rigorous task of getting through L.A. traffic, but she's alleviated by the comfort of the Audi E-Tron Sportback electric crossover. The commercial is meant to signal the company leaving its gas past behind and moving forward to a sustainable future.  Genesis: GV80 Genesis makes its Super Bowl debut with a commercial that will show its all-new SUV, the GV80, to viewers around the world (many of which will be seeing the vehicle for the first time). The ad features Chrissy Teigen and John Legend as the purveyors of "new luxury," while "old luxury" is left for the birds. GMC: Hummer General Motors is bringing back the Hummer nameplate as a premium electric GMC truck. GM says it will have 1,000 horsepower and will be capable of going zero to 60 mph in three seconds. GM brought in NBA legend and Hummer fanboy LeBron James for the debut commercial. Hyundai: Sonata Hyundai is known for bringing in the big-time celebrities for its commercials, and 2020 is no different. A new advertisement called "Smaht Pahk" features John Krasinski, Chris Evans, and Rachel Dratch, all three of whom are from the Boston area. The trio gets into full character as they discuss the new high-tech parking feature on the redesigned 2020 Hyundai Sonata, and David Ortiz makes a cameo at the end. Even when New England isn't in the Super Bowl, New England is in the Super Bowl.
