Looks good, runs great -- I just got back from driving it. Starts right up, idles smoothly, and no smoke. No leaks -- clean, dry garage floor under it after sitting for a few weeks. TX state inspection in November and TX tags are good through August.

Opening bid is less than 1/4 of what I have in this car. NO RESERVE -- I will sell to highest bidder.

I bought this March of last year because I always wanted one and this one a) was in Texas, not too far from me; b) had a bunch of work & restoration done to it; and c) seemed like fun to work on and drive w/ my teenage son.

We subsequently did, and have had done, more work, while driving it very little. Odometer had 143,831 when I bought it, and quit working right after I got it home. It now shows just under 145,000 but I probably put it up to right at 146,000.

I was going to sell this before the holidays, but my brother drove it and parked it in his driveway and his wife backed her mini-van into the passenger-side front fender and scraped the door -- see the pics. I've been wrestling w/ whether to keep this and further restore it or just sell it -- unfortunately high school varsity baseball uses up a lot of nights and weekends so we decided to let someone else take it from here.

I always wanted one of these. Had fun working on it with my son and driving it, but ready for something else. You could say I scratched that particular itch.

The guy I bought it from was the 2nd owner. He bought it in 2007 and had it shipped from CA to TX.

Adult, non-smoker, non-racer owned (both the previous owner and me). Well maintained and garaged (previous and owner and me).

I am also offering this locally for sale and reserve the right to end the auction if I sell it locally.

Features:

- 5-speed manual

- headers and custom, stainless exhaust

- power driver's seat

- power windows & locks (w/ keyless remotes)

- A/C upgraded to R132 by previous owner. I subsequently put on a new condenser last summer -- blows cold

tinted windows

- 16x7 and 16x8 deep-dish porsche "phone dial" rims w/ zero road rash -- VERY nice!

- performance tires w/ plenty of tread

- Alpine CDR-9857 head-unit, ipod ready, w/ Kenwood power amp and Pioneer sub-woofer -- it CRANKS!

I have a ton of maintenance records, as well as a repair and owners manual (latter, printed out on a laser printer, not the original)

Interior is particularly nice for a 27+ year old car -- seats are excellent and headliner is very good. Carpet is decent, but also has new front floor mats.

Key Notes:

clear title, ready to go

car runs great. starts right up, idles smooth. no smoke.

painted in 2006 and garaged since

see the pics for the good, as well as the damaged fender and scraped door. still drives great!

No known major mechanical issues.

Known minor mechanical issues:

1. Rear hatch does not release/unlock w/ interior release switch -- you must unlock w/ key. Struts were unattached when I purchased the car but I subsequently re-attached and the hatch will stay ope on its own

2. Side mirrors, motors do not work. Glass is flat, aftermarket replacement, as shown in pics.

3. Rear wiper motor does not work. I was going to just remove the whole thing and install a "delete plug" where the arm is mounted. Never got around to it.

4. Odometer quit working at mileage shown in pics (144,794), but there shouldn't be more than 146,000 total

5. Sometimes you have to tap on the Tach to get it to work, but it does work

Other:

1. repainted in 2006. Looks to me like the original color was black. Check out the pics.

2. seller I purchased it from claimed no accidents (according to CarFax) but the driver's door was clearly previously RED, before it was painted along w/ the rest of the car.

3. dented front, passenger-side fender and scraped passenger door (doesn't look to me to be dented).

I have a leather bra and matching mirror covers that came with it (used) that I will include. I also have a new brand-new, lined car-cover that has never been on the car that I will also include.

Feel free to contact me through ebay with questions, or call me at 713-429-1516, but note that I DO NOT answer calls that don't show caller-ID. I also have more pics if you want to see something in particular.

Happy to work w/ YOUR shipper if you buy it. But I'm not interested in arranging shipping.

How the 2016 Porsche 911 Carrera S falls short of perfection

Tue, Mar 15 2016

We know Harry Metcalfe loves a good Porsche 911. After all, he's shown off his personal 1989 Porsche 911 Turbo and 993 GT2 replica in previous videos. However, he can't seem to muster so much passion for the forced induction engine in the 2016 911 Carrera S. The chassis impresses him, but in Metcalfe's latest clip, he explains why he's not a huge fan of the new powerplant. Before any actual driving, Metcalfe takes a thorough walk around the new car where he goes to the unusual trouble of using a magnet to show which parts are steel and which are aluminum. Remember, though, this is a 911. So, this latest refreshed model, just like all previous remodels, isn't all that aesthetically different from the previous version. So, Metcalfe's real focus here is on how it drives. He comes away with mixed impressions. Metcalfe loves the 2016 911's handling, especially the directness from the rear-wheel steering, but he isn't in love with the new engine. At least with the seven-speed manual, he complains of turbo lag below 3,000 rpm. He also misses the direct throttle response from the previous naturally aspirated unit and doesn't think the turbocharged mill's fuel economy is very impressive. Take a ride with Metcalfe to get the full experience and intriguing take about the biggest change in more than a decade for the iconic 911. If you can't get enough Porsche-flavored goodness, click here for our own First Drive report on the quintessential sportscar. Related Video:

Top Gear brings together LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Earlier this month, Top Gear released a brief video of the comparison test between three hybrid hypercars we'd all been waiting for: the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. The story was done by the print magazine and not by the television show, and the video they released was barely over half a minute long, reserving the full version for subscribers of the iPad edition. Now the British mag has put the full video on YouTube, and while it's still only a minute and a half long – three times the length of the previous teaser Â– it's packed with electrified exotic goodness. The test surely took some serious wrangling to put together, and though the metal (or carbon fiber, as the case may be) was apparently furnished mostly by private owners, to hear Top Gear tell it, the manufacturers Â– Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche Â– were eager and helpful in putting the showdown together. For the final conclusions, we're afraid you'll still have to buy the magazine, but for a rare chance to watch all these three world-beaters on the same road at the same time, you'll want to scope out this latest video clip.
