Porsche 928 S4 1991 Black/grey Automatic Beautiful. on 2040-cars
Bainbridge, Georgia, United States
|
First, let me say that this is a strong and beautiful car. The exterior is as new, with no issues. Check out the pictures. It runs like a watch and doesn’t burn or leak a drop of oil. I have had it for fourteen years and it has been my daily driver. I would not hesitate to get into it tomorrow and drive it across the country. And I am a fanatic who keeps the exterior amazingly beautiful for a 23 year old car. You will find no better example!
The problem occurred when I moved from Chicago and wasn’t aware of the negative affects of the strong south Georgia sun. The driver seat dried out and cracked as you can see from the pictures. The passenger seat shows signs of wear but is still in good shape. One of the rear seats also needs replacement, although the other rear seat is perfect. The dash is perfect with no signs of wear, shrinking or cracking. The top portion of the leather steering wheel needs to be re-stitched, but the leather is perfect. The body has no rust, no dings, bubbling paint or cosmetic issues, and is as new. The paint is amazing, shiny and looks better than when it came out of the show room. I still get compliments and head turns on it at the grocery store. The tires are Sumitomo HTR Z II's and have about 40% tread left. The wheels are the very expensive upgraded Porshe turbo 18" wheels for this year and are beautiful, with color Porsche crests. There are some minor electrical problems. The passenger side tail light assembly is intermittent, comes on sometimes and not other. The headlights open and work fine but the glass holding the H4 bulbs leaks moisture. They do not need replacement, just to be thoroughly dried out and then re-sealed. The windshield has a crack on the passenger side and the car does run very rough on cold starts until it warms up, then it purrs like a kitten. It fires up normally when warm. My dealer tells me it is a temperature sensor that needs to be replaced. But there are three sensors on the 928 and, since he doesn't know which it is and I live on SS, I do not want to pay the exhorbitant service charges from this Porsche dealer to track down the problem, so I put up with cold starting the car and waiting a few minutes for it to warm up. The car has a computer built into the dash that warns you of all faults. The computer works flawlessly but warns that the rear axle fluid needs to be changed (see pic). This warning is based on time of service rather than any flaw in the axle fluid. My dealer told me to ignore it. The power windows, power sun roof, power trunk opener, 8-way power seats with memory and rear seat A/C work flawlessly. The driver side power mirror and rear wiper need to be diagnosed as they do not work. This has been and still is a nice car, and a head turner. All service records will be included with the sale. With a little patience, some seat reupholstering and minor electrical work, it will provide many more years of service. The Carfax report is clear and clean. I am including the Garmin 4.5" GPS and the original Porsche 2000 page dealer Shop Repair Manual on CD with the car. I am 71 years old and simply don't have the patience to work on cars anymore. But my laziness can profit you greatly in this purchase. I can arrange shipping with a carrier that I trust and have used twice before, with perfect results (at your expense). This is a “no reserve” auction. I require a $500 deposit within 3 days of the auction closing and the balance at pickup, all in certified funds. |

Porsche 912 is no longer the brand's black sheep
Fri, Dec 12 2014If you haven't looked recently, prices for many vintage Porsche 911s are now well out of the realm for mortal men to purchase. However, the growing values have their advantages because they mean that the 912 is being better accepted as a member of the Porsche family. In a new video, Petrolicious talks to one owner about his mildly modified example while the coupe zips through the backroads and city streets of France. Launched around the time of the 911, the 912 shared its body but retained the four-cylinder engine from the 356, rather than the new six. The older mill helped make the 912 cheaper to buy, but it also tarnished the coupe in the eyes of Porsche fans for years. Much like the four-cylinder 914 and 924, the 912 just seemed like a black sheep in the shadow of its more powerful brother. Following two massive changes to his life, Julien Borne bought a 1967 912 as a project to get back on the road. After hours of welding, wrenching and beating out panels by hand in his grandparents' neglected country house, he crafted this gorgeous example. Check out the video to hear his story, as Petrolicious shows why the model's stigma is wearing off.
Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Mercedes-AMG, Porsche and Koenigsegg Lego sets coming this summer
Sun, May 5 2024Lego has announced a slew of new automotive-themed sets. As is typical fashion for brand of building toys, the subject matter leans toward ultra-exotic, ultra-expensive vehicles, ranging from a $139,000 Mercedes SL63 on the low end to a $3 million Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut on the high end. If you can't afford those cars in real life, soon you'll be able to build your own plastic models of them. Some of the real-world counterparts aren't obtainable no matter what the cost. Take the Lamborghini Lambo V12 Vision Gran Turismo, for example. The one-off concept was designed by Lamborghini exclusively for Gran Turismo, the PlayStation racing simulator. However, Lamborghini did build a 1:1 version for the physical world, with the 808-horsepoewer hybrid V12 from the Sian FKP 37 beneath its bodywork. The Lego version is part of the company's Speed Champions line, which measure about 6 inches long. It does an excellent job of capturing the original's insectoid look and Y-shaped taillights. The set is made up of 230 pieces and will retail for $26.99. This is Lego's first Vision Gran Turismo car but we hope to see more. Also joining the Speed Champions line are two 2-car sets. An Aston Martin-themed set pairs a Vantage safety car with an AMR23 Formula 1 racer. Both are finished in AMR's bright green with actual sponsor logos. The set contains 564 pieces and will cost $44.99. Also arriving as a 2-car set are a pair of Mercedes-AMGs. A black G 63 and yellow SL 63 Roadster, along with a pair of sunglasses-clad bros, make up the 808-piece set. It also retails for $44.99. All three Speed Champions sets arrive on June 1, 2024. If you're looking for something a bit more advanced and detailed, Lego also offers the Technic line. First up is a Porsche GT4 e-Performance, a 1,000-horsepower race car based on the 718 Cayman. This set can also function as a remote controlled car that moves forward, backward, and steers via a downloadable smartphone app. The 834-piece set costs $169.99. Last but not least, there's the Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut, a model of the Swedish supercar that is said to have a top speed of over 300 mph. The model does an admirable job of capturing the car's 0.278 Cd drag coefficient, considering it's comprised of 801 individual plastic bricks. This set will retail for $49.99 and, along with the Porsche, comes out August 1, 2024. Related Video LEGO Speed Champion Build: 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback
Porsche kicks off Macan production at revamped Leipzig plant
Sun, 16 Feb 2014After 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.
