Porsche 930 Turbo on 2040-cars
US $33,000.00
Year:1986
Mileage:104598
Color:
Location:
San Jose, California, United States
All original, no excuses, car. In 1986, the legendary 930 Turbo returned to North America, after being absent since the 1979 model year. As such, this is an NA car, not a gray market car. And what better expression of 1980s excellence in cars is there? White gold exterior with gray green leather, carpet, and gray flannel cloth inserts. Factory option center painted Fuchs with colored crest caps. Sports seats L/R, heated seats L/R. Very unique color combination, not the common black/back, Guards red/tan or silver/black. The collector's market has been placing a premium on unique colorways in recent years. I am the third owner. The second owner held the car for 23 years and sold it to me when he retired and left southern California. Car comes with the original window sticker (from when it was sold as a used vehicle in 1990 to the prior owner by Carlson Porsche in Palo Alto for $55,300), a recently issued Porsche Certificate of Authenticity (to me), partially stamped service book, all manuals, etc. At 101,667, the car had a full engine rebuild by Andial Road and Racing in Santa Ana, arguably the most famous and respected Porsche tuning and service/racing shop in California (Porsche has since bought them). Car also had front and rear rotors and pads and a bunch of misc stuff. Total bill in excess of $22K. This was done by the prior owner. Since I got the car: At 104,498, the car had a major service at Lucient Technology, where it got new Bridgestone tires, all fluids and filters changed, fuel accumulator replaced, ignition replaced, AC converted to R34, axle boots, battery, and a number of misc trim details fixed at a cost of $6,972.50. The full carpet set was replaced with a custom ordered Belgian reproduction (Lakewell Classic Car interiors), just like OEM. The interior was cleaned and detailed, rubber seals were replaced, and a worn seat area was replaced, over $3,800 invested. The wheels were refinished and areas severely stone chipped were re-shot and tiny tiny parking lot dings were repaired ($3,400). Steering wheel was 100% restored to stock and is in a box. A vintage period correct Momo Prototipo was installed ($1,500 for both). Car does not only show very well, it drives even better. I have polished every issue out of the car mechanically, etc., yet, it's still a "driver" car and can (and should) be used and enjoyed as designed. If you look hard enough, you'll find a small stain on the rear passenger seat, a stone chip or two, a place where the flat black might be re-shot, broken dust door on the OEM cassette deck, but you have to REALLY look for them. To me, it's the perfect outcome of original (there is patina, the car appears "balanced" in appearance and age inside and outside and under the hood) and restored with a light and careful touch, but backed with a significant investment in polish and work. The high milage is more than offset with the re-fresh of the car, the rebuilt engine, the brakes. ALL work has less than 4K miles on it. All my work has less than 1K miles on it. Car is stored in a hanger and driven in the dry on weekends and weeknights. SoCal car since 1990. Passed Smog and has certificate. This is the real deal. Not modded (except window tint), no excuses or stories or questions on condition. Some of the best in their field have had their hands on this car's recent work. Anyone following the air-cooled Porsche market knows these cars are on fire. Compared to a pre-'74 911 S, or a 2.7 Carrera, they continue to be the best performance/exclusivity/cost value in the eco-system.

What do J.D. Power's quality ratings really measure?
Wed, Jun 24 2015Check these recently released J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) results. Do they raise any questions in your mind? Premium sports-car maker Porsche sits in first place for the third straight year, so are Porsches really the best-built cars in the U.S. market? Korean brands Kia and Hyundai are second and fourth, so are Korean vehicles suddenly better than their US, European, and Japanese competitors? Are workaday Chevrolets (seventh place) better than premium Buicks (11th), and Buicks better than luxury Cadillacs (21st), even though all are assembled in General Motors plants with the same processes and many shared parts? Are Japanese Acuras (26th) worse than German Volkswagens (24th)? And is "quality" really what it used to be (and what most perceive it to be), a measure of build excellence? Or has it evolved into much more a measure of likeability and ease of use? To properly analyze these widely watched results, we must first understand what IQS actually studies, and what the numerical scores really mean. First, as its name indicates, it's all about "initial" quality, measured by problems reported by new-vehicle owners in their first 90 days of ownership. If something breaks or falls off four months in, it doesn't count here. Second, the scores are problems per 100 vehicles, or PP100. So Power's 2015 IQS industry average of 112 PP100 translates to just 1.12 reported problems per vehicle. Third, no attempt is made to differentiate BIG problems from minor ones. Thus a transmission or engine failure counts the same as a squeaky glove box door, tricky phone pairing, inconsistent voice recognition, or anything else that annoys the owner. Traditionally, a high-quality vehicle is one that is well-bolted together. It doesn't leak, squeak, rattle, shed parts, show gaps between panels, or break down and leave you stranded. By this standard, there are very few poor-quality new vehicles in today's U.S. market. But what "quality" should not mean, is subjective likeability: ease of operation of the radio, climate controls, or seat adjusters, phone pairing, music downloading, sizes of touch pads on an infotainment screen, quickness of system response, or accuracy of voice-recognition. These are ergonomic "human factors" issues, not "quality" problems. Yet these kinds of pleasability issues are now dominating today's JDP "quality" ratings.
Porsche Cayman gets a new face
Fri, 12 Sep 2014We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.
The pre-race and first in-race report from Le Mans
Sat, 22 Jun 2013The 2013, 90th anniversary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans has begun, tragedy marking the opening laps with the death of Allan Simonsen. We're at the track now as a guest of Audi and plan to stay through the evening, and even we haven't been able to find out what caused the accident - the only video is from just after the incident, and beyond the statement from ACO there's been no more news. The Aston Martin in the LM GTE Am class and its all-Danish drivers had taken pole in its class and was one of the favorites to win.
The pre-race report will come first, and even thought we can't spoil the race because we're only five hours into it at the time of writing, we'll put all of the news at the end in case you don't even want the updates.
Or you can go straight to the high-res galleries above.
