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 Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

Porsche to replace chassis components in 918 Spyders

Tue, Dec 23 2014

The entire production run of the Porsche 918 Spyder is completely sold out, but 205 of them need to make a trip to the dealer for a repair estimated to take about two days. According to Porsche, it found quality problems with unspecified "chassis components" on the hybrid supercar and has instituted a plan to fix them as a precautionary measure. There were no reported breakages of these parts or complaints from customers. The German automaker already contacted all of the affected owners directly to have the 918s repaired in 2015. When reached for comment, Porsche Director of Corporate Communications Achim Schneider told Autoblog via email that "due to the supplier relationship we did not announce further details regarding the components so far." He also said that 43 vehicles are affected in North America, which includes the US and Canada. The 918 Spyder was affected by a small recall in the US earlier this year when Porsche found that the rear-axle control arms could potentially break. The campaign covered only five cars, though. Porsche replaces chassis components in 205 vehicles worldwide Atlanta. As a precautionary measure, Porsche will replace chassis components in 205 vehicles of the 918 Spyder model worldwide. The reason for this is that for vehicles that were manufactured in a certain time period defective parts were used from a delivery batch, whose functionality cannot be permanently guaranteed. No complaints have been made known (such as a break of a component) from customers up till now. The problem was identified during in-house quality inspections and remedied immediately. The owners of the vehicles, which could be exactly traced, were contacted directly by their competent Porsche representatives. The workshop visit, which will take place by appointment at the onset of 2015, takes about two days to complete at no charge.

Porsche spotted testing next-gen Panamera in the snow

Thu, Jan 22 2015

It's winter testing season in northern Sweden, and the latest spy shots our paparazzi on the ground have brought us is the upcoming Porsche Panamera testing in the cold and snow. The upcoming new four-door Porsche, spied wearing only minimal camouflage, appears to have a more elegant and sloping roofline than the existing model. Other details like the lights, mirrors and grille openings look fairly consistent with what we've been seeing on Porsche's other models as they've trickled out. Based on the new MSB platform, the new Panamera is set to share its underpinnings with the next Bentley Continental and possibly an Audi variant as well – though the prospect of a Lamborghini version to follow the Estoque concept seems to be off the table. The new platform will, however, make the new Panamera lighter than the current model. A new range of V6 and V8 engines are expected to provide motivation, driving the rear wheels or all four, along with the available e-hybrid system. Porsche's first four-door sedan was introduced in 2009 and underwent a facelift in 2013, so the all-new second-generation model should arrive sometime later this year or next as a 2017 model. This new model could provide the impetus for Porsche to put the Sport Turismo shooting brake version into production as well, and maybe – just maybe – a two-door coupe and possible convertible versions to follow in the footsteps of the 928.
