I'm selling my 1983 Porsche.  It is in very good condition.  I am the 3rd owner of the car.  The original owner sold it to a colleague at work in 1989, and I bought it from him this past April.  I have not owned the car long, but I have drove it almost 10K.  I would trust this car to drive anywhere for any distance.  It had 86K on it when I purchased it.  I have the name, number and address of the mechanic and shop who serviced this vehicle since new.  I just had the timing belt, and water pump done last month.

There are no leaks of any kind that I have noticed.  The car does not burn oil,  clutch is as it should be, and all gears are as they should be.  The AC works, but could use some more R12.  It's cool, but not cold.  Heat works awesome.  Mechanically everything is sound.

Tires are Michellins with 85% tread left on each.  No uneven wear.  Alignment is straight.  Brakes are good.  I put new hood supports in as well.  I have changed the oil every 3500 miles with Mobile 1 synthetic 10/30.  New fuel filter installed as well.  And new air filter.  

There are some rock chips in the paint, but nothing excessive and not a lot considering the 31 year age of the car.  Small dent in drivers door.  It could be popped out by removing inside door panel, but it's not bad, so I wasn't concerned with it.  Small dent under right side tail light, not very noticable either.  No rust.  Paint is very glossy and sharp looking.  Has aftermarket cd player, single disk.  Some cracks in the dash, but not bad.  Couple pix show what's there.

I average 27 mpg and use 87 octane fuel.

Overall, mechanically and cosmetically this car is very good.  Low miles for the year, and has been kept in great condition.  I do have the main records for the maintenance as well.  I called the original mechanic after I purchased the car to check when things such as timing belt and water pump were done, and if any major issues were fixed.  Nothing major done, just routine timing, water pump, etc.

I also did a full tune up on the car when I bought it a few months ago.  New plugs, cap, rotor, wires.

Again, I would trust this car to drive anywhere in my opinion.  I use it as a daily driver and have not had any issues.  Fun car that gets great gas mileage.  Please ask any questions if you have any.  This is a 4 seater.  The front has plenty of room...the back seats, not so much!  I usually leave the back seat folded down for larger cargo area.  Front seats have some tears mainly along some of the seams, but are in very good shape.  I have heavy duty seat covers on them to protect them.

The car is also for sale locally so seller has the right to end auction if the vehicle is no longer available.  This is a no reserve auction, so high bidder will receive the car.

'We are already developing stuff that will be soon in high-volume Porsches'

Audi and Porsche squabble over future product platforms

Tue, 22 Jul 2014

In the buildup to the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans, Audi delivered an amusing video that worked on the playful rivalry between the German brand and its favorite frenemy, Porsche. We called it sibling rivalry, and at the time, it may have been just that. But just like sibling rivalries, it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt, and that's just what seems to be about to happen in the formerly peaceful Volkswagen Group family.
A new report from Automobile calls out the growing animosity between Porsche, who is backed up by Bentley, and Audi, whose primary ally is Lamborghini. No blows have actually been thrown, although there is a fair amount of "he said, she said" going on.
As Porsche tells it, for example, the new global fullsize SUV architecture being developed by Audi isn't up to snuff, citing size and structure issues, as well as an inability to accommodate a wide variety of engines.

Porsche confirms four-cylinder Boxster, Cayman replacement for US

Wed, May 20 2015

Those who've been anxiously awaiting the return of the four-cylinder Porsche will be glad to know that the wait is almost over. What's more, the quad-pot Porsches won't be kept away from US showrooms but will form an integral part of the company's North American strategy. Confirmation comes courtesy of Automotive News, which spoke to the company's chief executive Matthias Muller about its return to four-cylinder power. "First of all, we will have it in the Boxster and Cayman successor," Muller told AN. "And then we will see how it works and how successful it is and how the customers will react on that, and then we will take the next decisions." The model to which Muller refers is expected to be the 718 – a new line taking the place of the Boxster and Cayman, ostensibly allowing Zuffenhausen to start from scratch rather than "downsizing" the engine on existing models. The new range is anticipated to launch sometime in the middle of next year. Porsche is currently offering a 2.0-liter inline-four with 234 horsepower in the Macan (which we get with V6s) for certain markets overseas, but the 718 is expected to get a new flat-four 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements with output edging up to 395 horsepower. The last time Porsche offered a four-pot in the US was with the front-engined 968 that wrapped up production two decades ago, but it hasn't offered a boxer four since 1976.
