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.

New Porsche 4-cyl engines to range from 1.6L to 2.5L

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

Recent rumors of a turbocharged, flat-four-engine from Porsche for the Boxster (pictured testing above), Cayman and maybe other models go back over a year. The latest scuttlebutt indicates that there could be three variants on the horizon with 1.6-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements and power as high as 360 horsepower.
Car magazine in the UK claims to have access to the specifications for the project and thinks the 2.0- and 2.5-liter versions are guaranteed for production for the Boxster and Cayman. However, it believes a question mark still looms over the 210-hp 1.6L because the engine would go into a new, smaller sports car that still doesn't have a green light for production.
Regardless of displacement, the new fours would be turbocharged and direct-injected. The 2.0-liter would produce around 286 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 2.5-liter would make about 360 hp and 347 lb-ft. Earlier reports pegged some parts sharing with the current flat-six.

2015 Porsche Cayman GTS

Thu, 29 May 2014

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.

VW Group plan puts Porsche in charge of a 'super-premium' division

Tue, Sep 11 2018

An Automobile report looks into what's happening on the organizational and technical sides of the Volkswagen Group, and what those changes could mean for the premium brands. The wide-angle view is that Porsche appears to have been anointed to "coordinate the future activities" at Audi, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini. Audi would cede Lamborghini guardianship to Stuttgart, and Ducati — via a new concern called Ducati Enterprises — would become the shepherd for VW's other Italian investments. Executives target Jan. 1, 2019, to complete the reshuffle. VW wants to save a boodle by tying up four of its five top-tier brands, and putting the one with the highest ROI in charge. Porsche, within its own house, wants to reduce expenditures by $2.3 billion per year over for four years, the savings already earmarked for improving internal processes like R&D and production. Having Porsche share those gains as well as lead development of platforms, components and future-tech strategies for the sister sports car brands could benefit everyone. In the near-term, the brands have their own plans: Bugatti CEO Stephan Winkelmann is said to want a Chiron Superleggera, a roofless and "completely reskinned" Chiron Aperta, and a track-only Chiron SS. The Superleggera could take the Chiron Sport's and Divo's Jenny Craig routines even further. The Aperta seems a natural successor to the Veyron Grand Sport, a natural evolution of the recently introduced Sky View roof, and a reskin might include numerous Divo cues. It's also said Bugatti's considering "an all-electric high-end model" in conjunction with Porsche, Rimac, and Dallara, but name one supercar or hypercar manufacturer that isn't considering a lightning-fast EV. Lamborghini, deep into work on follow-ups for the Huracan and Aventador, might get a bit of a bump with the new plan. The carbon "monofuselage" for the next V12 flagship is said to be too far developed and too complex to scrap. It puts two electric motors on the front axle, batteries in the middle, and a naturally aspirated V12 with around 770 horsepower plus another e-motor with 402 horsepower in back. The Huracan is said to get a version of the same carbon architecture at the moment, but the corporate reorganization might press pause on it. Automobile says options include continuing the Huracan/ Audi R8 twinning, but that depends on Audi saying "Ja" to a third-gen R8 with Lamborghini bones.
