THE ULTIMATE GERMAN MUSCLE CAR (Made Better)

If you're not seeking a squeaky clean garage queen then skip this listing

Imagine what this 928 was like new, if it were built today. Nothing looks or appears "worn" on this Porsche because if it was, it has already been replaced. This is what museum quality means.

This 928 literally lights up a room and provides both a visual and auditory experience to go with it. Although this custom can be driven daily (if you so desire), it has only been used for show purposes and presently sits in my private collection. Did you catch that? This collectible is not from a dealer lot, dealer inventory, or third party agent. NO, no. I am the real owner.

NOT from some backlot dealer inventory or third-party consignor, this Porsche is offered from the collector who knows how it was built. Commissioned to be fabricated by the lead CANADIAN pursuit vehicle installer, this Porsche not only looks and sounds great, it also includes the interceptor performance package to go with it. There is no other one in the world that has ever been built to match it.

More photos of the operating light bars and flashing sequences are not permitted in this online advertising source. Neither is the use of law enforcement words. Therefore, you will need to go to the website (upon request) to enjoy the entire show. And only if this truly intrigues you. Not to satisfy any curiosity please. This is a real car for a real buyer.

Being sold from my own private collection to another serious collector of fine automobiles. If you are a serious collector of unique automobiles, chances are this one is missing from your stable. There is no disappointments here. It is a WOW Factor car upon first glance in person.

Now Read on...

IF YOU LIKE SUPER CLEAN. I MEAN CONCOURS CONDITION. MUSEUM PIECE. SHOW READY. THIS IS THE ONE.

THIS IS A NICELY APPOINTED HIGHLY OPTIONED 928 WITH FACTORY DUAL HEATED AND POWER SEATS AND DUAL POWER LUMBAR FEATURE WITH FACTORY ALARM. IT BOASTS THE ORIGINAL MARINE BLUE LEATHER INTERIOR AND ORIGINAL EXTERIOR FACTORY PAINT WITH GTS UPGRADES. ULTRA CLEAN. SPECIALTY CUSTOM.

THE HEAT-WRAPPED HEADER INSTALLED CUSTOM BUILT MAGNA-FLOW EXHAUST SYSTEM IS MEANT FOR PERFORMANCE. THE WAY AN UNRESTRICTED V8 SHOULD SOUND AND GO. THAT'S RIGHT, A TRUE DUAL EXHAUST WITH CHROME DUAL EXHAUST TIPS (something real 928's never had). EVERY REAL PERFORMANCE CAR HAS TWIN TIPS. IT COMPLETES THE REAR LIKE A 911.

IF WORDS LIKE: UNIQUE, EXCLUSIVE, MEMBERS ONLY, OR ONE- OF-A-KIND ARE IN YOUR VOCABULARY, THEN THIS PORSCHE MIGHT JUST BE FOR YOU. I'M NOT BIG ON EXTRAVAGANT SALES PITCHES AND FLAMBOYANT ADS. THIS PORSCHE REALLY SELLS ITSELF. I'M LOOKING TO MOVE A CLASSIC CAR OUT OF THE COLLECTION AND THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE IF A TRULY INTERESTED BUYER COMES ALONG. AS THE VALUE OF WORLD CURRENCIES FALL, CLASSIC CARS CONTINUE TO BECOME REAL TANGIBLE USEABLE INVESTMENTS. HERE YOU HAVE AN APPRECIATING ITEM OF TRUE AND LASTING VALUE.

I REALIZE 928's BRING ALONG A DIFFERENT BREED OF BUYERS THAN DO 911's. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE THIS COLLECTORS PIECE TO GO TO ANOTHER COLLECTOR AND NOT SOMEONE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CHEAP 928. THIS PARTICULAR 928 WAS IN PORSCHE PANORAMA MAGAZINE FEATURED IN A PCA CLUB DISPLAY AND REMAINS IN SHOW STATUS. OWNED BY A PERFECTIONIST, EVERYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, IS DONE.

ON PRICE... MOST RECOGNIZE THAT YOU COULD NOT COMPLETE A BUILD OF THIS QUALITY FOR THE STARTING PRICE SEEN HERE. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER TAKEN ON A 3-to-5 YEAR CUSTOM CAR PROJECT KNOWS WHAT I MEAN. FINANCIALLY, THE BUYER ALWAYS GETS THE BETTER DEAL WHEN THE CAR IS PRESENTED AS "DONE".

THEREFORE, THE PRICE IS FAR BELOW THE VALUE OF WHAT IS OFFERED HERE AS A CUSTOM BUILD. FOR THOSE WHO LIKE TO PLACE BIDS FOR SOMETHING THEY NEVER REALLY HAVE ANY DESIRE TO PURCHASE, LEAVE THIS FOR THE REAL BUYERS. FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN THE MARKET, THE BEST PART: NO RESERVE.

SO PLEASE... TEXT, TALK AND TYPE ON DISCUSSION FORUMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA OUTLETS AS THIS DOES ME A GREAT FAVOR. IT ADDS TO GETTING THE WORD OUT (free advertising for me). REGARDLESS OF THE IMHO COMMENTS, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE NUMBERS. THE MORE PEOPLE THAT KNOW ABOUT THIS PORSCHE, THE BETTER. THIS IS THE BEST FORM OF ADVERTISING, SO THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

NOTE: Actual law enforcement pursuit roof light bar and interior emergency light bars and related accessories will be removed prior to shipping. These can be made available to the buyer if so desired. In addition, the tactical vest and accessories and special order DMV Germany plate will also be made available separately. WHY? These "flashy" items add no real tangible value to the actual car. So I'm told. Of course, all are available for viewing "in action" if one desires to consider having them as part of the collection.

SPECIAL NOTE ON PROVENANCE: This car has a very CLEAN and CLEAR title (history). It was hand-built by Porsche in Stuttgart for the Canadian market and has never left Canada since arriving here. To those in Canada and Europe, this means it's given similar specifications as EURO spec models which makes it more desirable and more rare than a traditional U.S. spec 928. Sold and owned in Canada from new, it boasts having EURO instrumentation with a 300km/h speedometer from the factory. More importantly, it's traceable right to the day of its initial sale from the Porsche dealer in Vancouver, B.C. CANADA on January 2, 1988. That's right, 26 years ago. Therefore, this officially classifies it as antique status in Canada. Once again, this is not an import from the U.S. or overseas with a multi-owner background. We all know, the three most important qualities in real estate is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. In a classic car, it's PROVENANCE, PROVENANCE, and PROVENANCE which only adds to its value as a collectible.

OVER THE TOP IN EVERY WAY...

You want something unique? You want something already "done"? You want a Porsche you can drive or show? You want a Porsche you can be proud to own? It's right here... A newer interior with original leather seats and body. A clean history and clear title. Yes, it can be registered and driven the way it is. Yes, the custom decaling and light bars and controller and LED amplifier and sirens and air horn and flashers and strobes and red and blues and intercom and DMV Germany plate and even the gold plating will all be disabled and removed.

The point is even with all that "jazz" out of the way, this is still a concours condition 928 so you get to start off with something FRESH. And that is the best way to begin the new season ahead. The opportunity to enjoy life comes only once. So enjoy the journey... it is the reward... and it continues right here... beginning with your bid.

ONLY TERM & CONDITION (FINAL BID NOTICE): The winning buyer will be invoiced 10% of the final bid price to be paid within 48 hours as a non-refundable deposit to confirm sale of the vehicle.

NOTE TO POTENTIAL U.S. BUYERS: This is not a listing for the U.S. market. Yes, it can be imported into the United States. I just find that from past experience most buyers have no clue how to go about doing that. If you are truly interested, contact me. The simplest way is to hire a broker. After all, this is an investment so invest to have it imported easily.

...IF YOU MADE IT THIS FAR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST…

Porsche (finally) unleashes full, official details on 918 Spyder

Mon, 09 Sep 2013

Porsche has finally let released all of the details on the 918 Spyder, the German brand's challenger to the McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari, after months of leading our poor, performance-loving hearts on. The covers were lifted at the Volkswagen Group night, an enormous precursor to the Frankfurt Motor Show, and include a massive, 11,000-word press release that's attached at the bottom of this page.
The 918 Spyder features a mid-mounted, dry-sump-lubricated, 4.6-liter V8 engine that generates 608 horsepower when left to its own devices. Combined with a trio of electric motors, which produce 286 hp, the total system horsepower for the 918 Spyder rests at 887 ponies. That's less than the McLaren P1 (903 hp) and the LaFerrari (949 hp), but the Porsche is also likely to be a bit cheaper, starting at $845,000, while the McLaren will be in the seven-figure range for certain, and it will more than likely be joined by the LaFezza.
The 918 Spyder counters with a 2.8-second jog to 62, a 7.7-second run to 124 and it will hit 186 in 22 seconds.

Your guide to vehicle subscription services

Mon, Oct 1 2018

They might be extremely limited in scope because of location availability, but vehicle subscription services are a growing trend that most luxury manufacturers are jumping on. Plans are expensive, but you're paying for much more than just the car typically. We highlighted four of the larger plans with a few more listed at the end. Care by Volvo Volvo launched its subscription service last year with its brand-new XC40. It was the only vehicle available for a time, but subscribers can now get an S60 sedan as well. Subscriptions are for two years, with the monthly price including insurance, a concierge service, wear-and-tear item replacements and all maintenance. You'll be able to drive 15,000 miles per year with whichever Volvo you choose, and although there are no options to extend that mileage, you can swap cars after a year. Pricing for the XC40 is $650 per month in base trim, while an S60 can be as expensive as $850 for the R-Design. Volvo's plan is to offer more cars soon through the service, but it's relatively limited compared to others right now. Porsche Passport Porsche has two levels in its subscription service: Launch and Accelerate. Launch will cost $2,000 per month and give you access to the Cayman, Boxster, Macan and Cayenne. All of those but the Cayenne can be had in "S" trim as well. Accelerate is where the fun really starts. For $3,000 per month you can choose from a fleet of 911s, including the S, 4S, Cabriolet and Cabriolet S. If those aren't enough, you can also get the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS and Cayenne S. There are no mileage limits and you can change vehicles as often as you'd like. Also included in the price is insurance, repairs, detailing and any maintenance. It might be extremely expensive and limited to Atlanta only, but this subscription service is second-to-none for what you get. Audi Select Audi just launched its subscription car service, and it's offered in one version for a flat fee of $1,395 per month. For that you'll have access to five different cars including the A4, S5 Coupe, A5 Cabriolet, Q5, and Q7. Not a bad range of vehicles, but it would've been neat to see the recently updated A7 in there too. Maybe in time. Like the others, insurance and maintenance are wrapped up in the price. Audi is allowing for unlimited miles and two car swaps per month here. In addition to that, you'll get two days of free rentals through Audi's Silvercar rental agency should you go on a trip.

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic

Mon, Oct 24 2016

Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check Â– considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check Â– there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each. You can check out Consumer Reports entire reliability roundup, even without a subscription, here.
