I'm the third owner of the classic Porsche -- one of the best handling cars ever made.


Selling for two reasons -- 1. I recently got into Stand Up Paddleboarding and while I can tow my board behind my bike, I want to take it to some other spots and need a roof rack to do that.

2. Am planning on a family soon and it's not really going to be awesome to put a baby seat in the back...

I bought the car with only about 47k miles on it!! 

How is this possible? 

1. The first owner had a stable of cars and this was not his most favorite to drive so he eventually sold it to the second owner who was

2. A police officer in Los Gatos who was one of the officers who has horses for parades etc. He lived on a ranch in Los Gatos and did most of his driving with his pickup to tow the horses, and he also had a classic Jeep, so he only took the Porsche out on weekends. He sold it to me because his wife had a baby and wanted another car besides the huge diesel pickup and the non-kidsafe Jeep. 

3. I work from home / bike to work most days so even though I live in LA, it's been garage kept and not driven too much. 

So now it's got 73k miles -- here is the work that's gone into it:

(I have saved all the repair & oil change documents) -- I have taken excellent care of this beauty! 

New timing belt -- & I have the timing belt/chain checked every other oil change. It will be due for a new timing belt/change within the next 2 years.

New Clutch put in at 63k miles ( I learned how to drive stick in this car so yea, I wore out the clutch a little early... your bonus!)

New shocks, struts and brake rotors done at 58k miles

Oil cooler seals repaired at 68k miles

Air conditioning recharged at 68k miles

And I put in a killer soundsystem -- 10x7" Focal speakers in the back and 4x6" Blaupunkt speakers in the doors - the back speakers are powered by an amp and the deck I just upgraded to a Kenwood Excelan which features hands free Bluetooth calls, but also you can stream audio via bluetooth (or plug it in and charge the phone, or play from USB drive). 

Ok so what's wrong with the car- it is 30 years old after all!

1. The sun roof does NOT leak at all, however cosmetically some of the seal is starting to show

2. The leather wrap on the steering wheel needs to be restitched -- it's not falling off, but some of the stitching is coming out.

3. The left latch lever on the sun roof locks in, but the lever itself is broken off-  so if you unlatch the sunroof you'll need to be mindful not to loose it (or you can glue it back in place) -- I just rarely take the roof off. 

4. This is the thorniest one -- There was an inaccurate reporting to Carfax way back in the 80's. The car goes from 10k miles all of a sudden to over 100k miles then back down to 20k miles.

You may know that the odometer on the 944 does not go over 99,999 miles -- but to put that many miles on a car in that short of a time is not really possible. You'd have to drive across country every month. 

When I purchased the car, I had a mechanic of my choosing (and not in the same town as the Cop I purchased the car from!) go over everything and his judgement was there was no way the car was 148k miles --- and the odometer is accurate at 48k miles.

When you look at the interior of the car -- you'll agree this is a car with 73k miles on it, not 173k. 

I may contact CARFAX and try to correct the issue if it becomes a blocker.

Porsche considering X6-style Cayenne coupe

Mon, 05 May 2014

It was practically unthinkable when Porsche introduced the Cayenne in 2002. An SUV... from Porsche? Purists balked, but customers flocked, and the Cayenne propelled the its holding company into such profitability that it practically took over the entire Volkswagen Group. It's now been twelve years since the original Cayenne arrived as the first production Porsche with more than two doors, and Zuffenhausen has since followed up with the Panamera, the Macan and the second-generation Cayenne. But it isn't about to stop there.
The latest intel coming in from overseas suggests that Porsche is in the advanced stages of designing a slant-back, five-door Cayenne coupe to take on the likes of the BMW X6 and upcoming Mercedes-Benz MLC. Though the business case (however solid BMW may have already demonstrated it to be) is still being considered, if approved it would join the upcoming third-generation Cayenne on the production line in Leipzig as early as 2018 - a year after the new Cayenne itself is expected to arrive.
The Cayenne coupe would share much with the more conventional MkIII Cayenne (and for that matter the next Audi Q7 and VW Touareg as well as the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley Falcon) but differentiate itself with a more stylish (if less practical) roofline and an altogether sportier attitude. Autocar reports that the design calls for tauter sheetmetal and sportier cabin inspired by the 918 Spyder. Pricing would be positioned a good 15-20 percent higher than the regular Cayenne, and the "coupe" version would likely be offered with most, if not all of the engines available in the conventional version - including gasoline, diesel, turbo and possibly even hybrid options ranging all the way up to the 550-horsepower Turbo S.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.

Porsche shows off Cayman GT4 Clubsport in new video

Sat, Nov 28 2015

Amateur racers rejoiced last week when Porsche unveiled a track-ready version of the Cayman GT4 at the 2015 LA Auto Show. Now, the company is doing a bit of publicity for the new track car, featuring the race-ready Clubsport video in a stylish, 53-second video clip. There's not a lot to it, to be honest. We see the GT4 Clubsport, we hear it briefly, but that's about it. So if you were hoping that we'd finally get a look at the stripped down cabin, we're sorry to disappoint you. Still, it's good to see Porsche's newest track car in motion for the first time. For those that need a refresher, the GT4 Clubsport retains the standard car's 3.8-liter flat-six engine, but pairs it with the company's super-fast dual-clutch transmission. Combined with basic safety equipment – racing buckets, six-point harnesses, a full roll cage, and a fire suppression system – and suspension components from the company's other entry level racer, the 911 GT3 Cup, and you get a race-ready, mid-engined coupe for the reasonable sum of $165,000.
