I’m the fourth owner of this well-kept 944 Turbo. It’s completely stock with the exception of the stereo and wheels. The first two owners drove it sparingly, averaging around 4000-4500 miles/year. With about 84,000 miles on the clock, the third owner picked it up in 2005 and took it on a trip from CA to Vegas. A post-purchase inspection revealed a few leaks that had developed over the years and he started working on a plan to pull it apart and make it like new again. Fast forward to 2008 – the economy had crashed and he still hadn’t started on the reseal and rebuild as he wanted. He decided to finally tackle it and thought that taking the engine out, doing a complete restoration and reseal and getting the engine to showroom condition was the way to go. He was a huge Porsche enthusiast and had plenty of experience so the project was well within his capabilities. Unfortunately, didn’t get far before marital and financial trouble made him abandon the project. He didn’t give up completely until 2012 when he realized that he needed to pass it along to someone else. I’ve since taken my time getting the car back to its former glory. I’m happy with the results and now have a very nice leak-free 951 to pass on to a new owner.

Everything works on the car: AC blows cold (converted to R134), windows work, sunroof works, turbo boosts as it should, clutch is solid (replaced by a former owner), doors work, hood and hatch struts work, original paint is nearly perfect, runs great. The last owner had it as non-op and when I took it in for a smog test to get it registered again it failed for running rich. Passed easily the second time in. I have a stack of service records from the previous owners included along with the original owner’s manual, tool kit and spare tire.

I was keeping track of what I put into it but stopped counting when parts got over $3K and the list got too long for me to remember (I know I’m over $5K but not sure where it stopped). I’m looking for someone who appreciates these cars and sees the value in a well-cared for 1986 944 Turbo.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Good luck and thanks for looking!

Porsche goes Platinum with special edition Cayenne

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

The other day, Porsche announced a new special edition of the Cayenne. We didn't pay it much heed because it appeared to be exclusive to Europe (or, at least, markets other than ours), but now Porsche has announced its availability in North America, as well.
It's called the Platinum Edition, and it's available exclusively on the entry-level models with either the 3.6-liter V6 or 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. You can tell the special edition apart from any other Cayenne by the silver details (accenting the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler) and its two-tone black and beige leather interior. But what makes it a compelling choice is the long list of equipment, which Porsche has identified as the most requested options and fitted them as standard, including the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, Convenience Package and Bose audio.
Pricing starts at $63,300 for the Cayenne Platinum Edition, or $66,900 for the Cayenne Diesel Platinum Edition. That represents a premium of approximately $13,000 over a bone-stock model, but actually saves you a few grand if you were going to select all those options anyway. Check out the press release below for all the details.

2015 Porsche Cayenne S

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Oh, Porsche.
Just as the dust settles over the 911 GT3's no manual gearbox kerfuffle, the Germans have gone and yanked the yummy naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 from the Cayenne S and replaced it with a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6. Is nothing sacred in Porscheland?
Perhaps not... but that's not necessarily a bad thing. After all, Porsche famously once said they'd never build a diesel, but when they did, it was actually rather stellar.

Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters

Wed, 02 Jul 2014

Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
