History:

In 2001 I started my search for this car.  My search criteria was simply blue exterior, tan interior and a manual transmission.  After almost two years of searching I found the car in California.  I spoke with the then owner, a county councilman.  He owned the car for over a decade of gently driven, dealer serviced, garaged miles.

As i live on the opposite coast, the owner sent many pictures.  Liking what I saw, I had a professional survey done...all good.

Next I sent a 928 specialty shop (Precision Motor Works) just outside LA and had the car completely serviced costing almost $7,000.00.  After tag and titling it I got a 1 way ticket to LAX, got picked up at the airport within a few hours began my 3000 mile coast to coast road trip home.  I drove very softly until I passed the Cumberland Gap and was in Maryland.  I then sped up to 165 for the one and only time I checked the cars top speed.  (The S4 model set the world land speed record at Bonnieville for a production car clocking in at over 171 MPH.  Made it from Los Angeles to Baltimore in just over 40 hours

Sent the car to Valley Porsche (dealership) for another check out oil change and new timing belt re-tensioned, where it was serviced exclusively until their Factory Trained Service Technician retired.  The service manager sent me to Ralph's Porsche Service and their Factory Trained 928 guy.

After making intake and exhaust upgrades I wanted to measure its performance numbers (and to spank my friends new 2005 M3) I took it  for it's one and only time at the track and ran 13.4.  

The car is very fast;
1987  928 S4 5 speed manual 5.0 liter 32 valve DOHC 316 hp/ 317 torque upgrade air filter 10, exhaust 25 engine mapping chip 10% power gain puts the car in the high 300's.

The car has been my short trip daily driver.  It is very dependable as it has always been maintained properly.  This car is one which needs to be maintained.  If you can not afford the maintenance you should not buy the car.  The 928, at least, this one,  will run perfectly for a lifetime provided it is properly maintained.  You, the buyer need to take this car to a Porsche Factory Trained Technician.   If you can not do the work yourself do not take it to some guy your friend knows who gave him a deal to fix his car.  Anything except someone who really knows this car is a recipe for disaster.  The future of this vehicle is important to both myself and the previous owner, it is a special example of a car ahead of it's time where manufacturers are just now starting to catch up.

Things I know the car needs.

I have a quote of $5,000 to repair the accident damage and to repaint the whole car.  The engine was not hit in the accident. The radiator and all front lights need to be replaced.  Car needs front clip replaced.  Repairs could possibly be less expensive but I only take my car to the best repair shop where I know and have seen high quality Porsche 928 collision repair.  The car could need other small accident related issues, such as, I know it needs a new master relay,front end alignment, etc... but overall the accident is relatively minor and fully/easily repairable. 
Rear tires
Windshield, not from accident, but a stone from the road
The car is 26 it is not new.  Anything else wrong I am unsure and this is not meant to be an all inclusive evaluation of the car.  It is an as/is sale.

The reason for the sale of the car is right around the time of the accident my business closed and I can not afford the repair, or the ongoing maintenance of the vehicle.

I am going to start the reserve for $3000.00, it's what I paid for the wheel and tire package alone.

Good luck and happy bidding.

This vehicle is always open for viewing and I highly suggest seeing the car in person or the use of a surveyor prior to bidding.  I am happy to update with any pictures requested.  Starting the listing with just one until I can get to the shop to take more.

Porsche to only build next Panamera in Leipzig?

Sun, 06 Oct 2013

Manufacture of the next-generation Porsche Panamera could be moving, if a report from Reuters is true. The current-generation Panamera range has its bodies welded together and painted at a Volkswagen facility in Hanover before being shipped to Leipzig where final assembly takes place.
According to Reuters, Porsche is looking to cut VW out of the equation and focus production of the Panamera in Leipzig. While this could cost 800 of the 14,300 workers at Hanover their jobs, it's not entirely clear what Porsche stands to gain by the move. It recently invested 50- million euros (about $680 million at today's rates) on a paint and body shop for its Leipzig factory, ostensibly so the facility could have Macan production underway by that car's spring 2014 on-sale date. If the facility was also designed with next-generation Panamera production in mind, then Porsche's decision to put all of its eggs in one basket could make a lot of sense. It currently ships the semi-completed Panameras from Hanover to Leipzig, a distance of around 160 miles by road, and presumably it's a costly and time-consuming process.
The Leipzig factory produced 27,000 Panameras last year, although it's unclear just what its production capacity really is. Besides the Panamera and the upcoming Macan, the factory also builds the Porsche Cayenne.

Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group

Mon, Jul 5 2021

ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
