I recently purchased this 1987 Porsche 944S to do auto-x events at NOLA Motorsports. I have to admit, I was drawn in by the awesome body lines of this car. After driving it around town, I decided that this isn't the right car for me. I never took it to any race events. It does handle and drive well though. Reliable enough to be a daily driver.
5 Speed 152,000 miles
The good:
Mechanically, it has been well-maintained. I have receipts to show for most of it. The following has been replaced less than 2 years ago:
Clutch/pilot bearing
All belts including timing
Brand new a/c compressor converted to 134-a
Spark plugs
Plug wires
Distributor and rotor
Turbo spec water pump
Starter
Sony Cd player and new speakers
Air flow meter
Shocks were replaced 4 years ago
WOT switch
Flywheel position sensor
Oil pressure sensor
Turbo spec catback
Multiple hoses
Multiple bushings
Motor mounts
Tensioner Pad
And a few other motor parts. It runs and drives perfect. A/c is cold, Tires have plenty of tread.
The bad:
Rock chips on the hood
Cracked lower front bumper(fiberglass)
A few dings around the body
ABS light is lit on the dash. ( The light only comes on after I start driving, so I suspect a wheel sensor.)
Small oil drip towards the front of the engine on the passenger side. It's a very minor drip, but I wanted to be sure and disclose it.
The muffler is a little louder than I like, but bearable. I have a new windshield, a new Cat converter, and a new fuel filter I can include in the sale. I also have a few spare relays and knick knack parts laying around I can give you.
If you like the 924/944 cars, than this one is worth checking out. Feel free to ask any questions.

2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base
Tue, 14 Jan 2014If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.
Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Porsche planning more plug-ins
Mon, Jan 5 2015Which automaker offers the most plug-in models in the industry? The answer may surprise you, because it's not Toyota, it's not Renault or Nissan or any other automaker that might spring to mind. The answer is Porsche, which already offers the Cayenne and Panamera in plug-in hybrid spec in addition to the 918 Spyder. And it could offer more in the near future. Speaking with Automotive News, Porsche's global sales and marketing chief Bernhard Maier spoke of the importance of plug-in range-extended models to the company's future plans. The 55-year-old executive, who endeavors to make his 56-mile round-trip daily commute from home to the company's headquarters in Stuttgart entirely emissions free, indicated that his company only plans to offer more plug-in models. Previous reports indicated that E-Hybrid powertrain in the Cayenne and Panamera wouldn't fit in the Macan, and that no such plans were in store for the Boxster, Cayman or 911. But when asked what Porsche had in store for the future, Maier replied: "We have a lot of ideas, but we have not approved them for production yet. The 918 Spyder shows that Porsche has the capability to produce very convincing hybrid sports cars." While clearly guarded, Maier's answer points to a future of more plug-in hybrid models from the storied German marque. All that remains to be seen is whether that will come in the form of a Boxster, Cayman, Macan or another new model altogether, like the rumored mini-Panamera dubbed Pajun or a mid-engined V8 supercar.
