I am selling my 1981 Porsche 928 with the rare options of 5 speed and the "Competition Group" package. This car is 1 of 458 made which this option and only 12% or so with the 5 spd. This package came out to wet the whistle of american buyers waiting for the 928 S to come out in 1983. It was equipped with a limited slip differential, Bilstein shocks, Recaro front seats, front and rear spoilers, a padded steering wheel, and flat faced forged 16" wheels which I do not have. The car is in overall good condition but will need some work. The odometer shows 115,000 or so miles. The motor runs and sounds great. It is the stock 219hp all aluminum V8. The gearbox is good but I am having a problem with what we think is the clutch. It will not engage all the way. I think the clutch disc has lost a spring or two and is blocking full movement, only guessing. The rear muffler is rotted. The body is in overall good shape with no rot. The paint looks good from 20 feet but up close it shows a lot of flaws. You can see a lot of rough touch ups and cracking in the paint. See pics. The interior is partially disassembled. The previous owner had the dash cluster and knobs and switches disconnected. Everything is there but needs to be plugged in and re-attached. The main gauge cluster got wet and has corrosion-I would replace. Alpine Cd player is there. A new console and dash cover was installed which is why everything is apart. Seats are faded but no rips and are not bolted in. All the carpet is there. Door panels are decent. Car looks good but needs work. You will not be driving it home. I can deliver locally to the right buyer. The car comes with a rare set of wheels from a 1994 928 S4 and are 17" with worn Dunlop S03 tires. The battery is holding on for dear life since it was dead for awhile. The center section of the front spoiler is missing.  The car has all of the original Competition Group parts on it except the wheels. The Recaro seats are there but faded, not torn or ripped. The Limited Slip Differential is there as are the Bilstein Shocks. The padded steering wheel is there but not perfect. The car needs various little panels, trim, and carpet put back. I have everything except the console between the main one and the rear seat one. Door panels are good but need clips fixed.The car runs and drives and brakes work so it can be shipped with a national shipping company without problem. I will help deliver locally if it is close or do my best to help in getting shipping arranged all at my discretion but it is the sole responsibility of the seller to pay for and arrange shipping. As per Ebay rules, I will not end Auction early if there are any bids. Winning Bidder is the New Owner-not tire kicker when you show up. I suggest coming to see the vehicle before bidding ends so there are no issues on purchase. I have done my best to describe vehicle but ask me any questions if you need. Sale is as is, car needs work. Thanks

The Mercedes-Benz S-Class leads this month's list of discounts

Mon, Jul 19 2021

Like last month, the biggest discounts car buyers will find on new vehicles are all applied to expensive luxury sedans. Unlike last month when there were two, there isn't a single Rolls-Royce to be found anywhere in the top five. Sorry, one-percenters. But just because the pinnacle of European luxury isn't represented doesn't mean there aren't big discounts to be found on lovely luxury sedans. In fact, this month's list is led by the 2020 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a technological wonder that coddles its driver and passengers with all the bells and whistles the German brand has to offer. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is offered in many shapes and sizes with several powertrain options. That means there will be a huge variance in prices across the model range, but on average, 2020 S-Class buyers are seeing $11,803 lopped off the car's $109,447 sticker price, leaving an average transaction price of $97,644. That's a savings of nearly 11%. It's worth noting that there's a new S-Class for 2021, but the 2020 edition is still a lovely machine. Up next is the Porsche Taycan, sitting in second place just like it did last month. Buyers are seeing average sticker prices of $125,736 but are paying $113,938. That's a savings of $11,798 — or about 9.4% — off the price on the window sticker. As was the case last month, we're not sure how many of the Taycan's buyers will be able to claim tax rebates due to the Taycan's status as an electric vehicle, but that could potentially represent a further cut off the car's sticker. Rounding out the top three for the month of July is the Maserati Ghibli. With an average discount of $10,161 that represents a whopping 14.3% of the car's sticker price, this Italian luxury sedan actually leads the list of vehicle discounts when ranked by percentage. And if you're a Maserati fan but the Ghibli isn't your cup of espresso, the Levante crossover and larger Quattroporte sedan are also seeing very large discounts.

Porsche offers detuned Boxster and Cayman 211 in Europe

Mon, 15 Sep 2014

Looking at a new Porsche Boxster? First of all, we commend you on your choice, because in its latest iteration, the Boxster has sped out from under the shadow of the 911 and into its own. But now to choose: do you get the base model with 265 horsepower, the Boxster S with 315 hp, or the top-of-the-line Boxster GTS with 330 hp? It's a daunting question, considering the $10k+ price gap between each model that you could put into the gas-and-rubber jar. Same goes for the Cayman, albeit with ten more horses across the board. But as if that's not confusing enough, there appears to be another player on the field. (That is, at least, in certain European markets.)
Appearing on the company's Belgian and Norwegian sites are the Boxster 211 and Cayman 211. As you might have guessed, they pack a less substantial 211 horsepower, undercutting what we know as the base models. Instead of using a smaller engine, though, the Boxster and Cayman 211 get the same 2.7-liter boxer six, just with less power.
As a result, they're a bit slower off the line: the Boxster 211 takes between 6.1 and 6.4 seconds to get to 62, depending on exact specifications, compared to the 5.5- to 5.8-second range for the 265-hp Boxster, while the Cayman 211 is quoted at 6.2 seconds versus the 275-hp Cayman's 5.4 to 5.7 seconds. Fuel consumption and emissions, on the other hand (and as you'd expect), are better in the 211. But while Porsche Norway charges around $10k less for the 211 models, Porsche Belgium charges the same for the 211 models as it does for the next most powerful versions (from which they appear to be visually indistinguishable).

Porsche Cayman S and Caterham 7 go head to head on the drag strip

Fri, 27 Jun 2014

We recently saw the standard Porsche Cayman go up against a Subaru WRX STI in a one-mile drag race with surprising results. Apparently, Evo had a similar idea of evaluating the Cayman's quickness. However, it opted for the more powerful S model and chose a flyweight Caterham Roadsport 140 as the challenger. Will the results of this battle be as close at the end of the kilometer-long (0.62-mile) drag?
Neither of these are cars you'd usually associate with drag racing, but they are nearly evenly matched. Evo selected them based on power-to-weight ratio, with the Caterham offering a scant 140 horsepower in a lithe 1,213-pound package. The Porsche is a quite svelte 2,910 pounds but has 325 hp to haul it around.
Of course, power-to-weight ratio isn't everything. There are a ton of other variables like aerodynamics and gearing that play a huge role, as well. Can the little Caterham's weight advantage overcome the better aero and additional power of the Porsche? Scroll down watch the video and find out.
