I purchased this car in Dec last year for my wife.  She passed away in January never getting to drive the car.  I have driven it from Arkansas (where I bought it) to Stuart, Florida and to Sarasota, Florida where it resides now.  I drive it daily around town to work and back.  It is a great car and very nimble.  

The reason I purchased the car was due to the fact that it was doctor owned and had been for some 6 years.  He had had the engine rebuilt in 2011 and basically replaced almost everything including Porsche motor mounts and then only put another 3000 miles on it.  It was still breaking in when I drove it down to FLA.   Not being a mechanic I wanted to make sure the car was going to be reliable.  Because everything that seems to be a problem with the 1987 Porsche 944 S had been replaced or repaired it was a no brainer.  Even the AC compressor is new with the new type of 134A refrigerant oil. The transmission works great and was not worked on.  the shocks and struts are about 4 years old.  I was impressed how smooth it drove on the highway.  The tires look great and have lots of tread.  The car drives great and was a pleasure to drive down from Arkansas to Florida.  It had a sweet spot at 92 mph.  The car starts right up every time when cold.  It goes right to 900 RPM and the oil pressure starts off at 5 dropping gradually.  I have included picks of the dash at cold startup and then when warm.   The car had 151, 100 miles when I picked it up and had the engine rebuilt at 148000 miles. The odometer stopped working about 800 miles into the trip at 151, 935 where it reads now.  When you push the trip reset button it moves but doesn't catch.  I haven't gotten under there yet to look to see if something came loose but I will.  
The inside looks very nice.  There is one crack at the top of the dash up and behind the steering wheel.  It is hard to see unless you look down through the windshield.  There are little cracks at the defroster vents but again not easy to see unless you are looking for them.  Everything works well including the interior cabin light.  The seller had nice seat covers on the front seats and I have left them.  There is  fraying on the driver side seat where you hit it when you get in but it would be very easy to sew it up.  The seats are the cloth which say Porsche Porsche Porsche on the diagonal.   The driver's seat has electric controls on the left side for height and other adjustments. The rear seats are in good shape.  The dash and center console are in good shape.  The doors are in good shape.  Both windows work well up and down.  The right mirror does not work with the switch but the left one does.  Headlights pop up nicely and work as designed.  The paint looks to original and has been waxed and buffed.  It is not flawless but overall great for a 26 year old car.  There are some dings and scratches that would come out pretty easily.  The sun roof can be raised in the back electronically or taken completely out.  It does not slide back into the roof like many other cars. 
There is a crack in the front windshield but I have a new windshield to replace it.   The catalytic converter has gone and rattles but I have a new Cat. converter to replace it.  I have other odds and ends as well that will go with the car.  If you are interested contact me so I can call you and go over everything with you.
  As the car is being sold as is please arrange to have it looked at prior to bidding or come and drive the car yourself.  I am driving it daily so I can meet you within a reasonable distance.  This is a great car and lots of fun to drive.  There is lots more specific info so if you have a serious interest lets talk.  
$500 deposit due within 24 hours.  Balance of payment due within 4 days.

Trump reportedly says he wants to wipe German cars off the U.S. map

Thu, May 31 2018

BERLIN/FRANKFURT — A report that U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to pursue German carmakers until there are no Mercedes-Benz rolling down New York's Fifth Avenue dented shares in the luxury car manufacturers on Thursday. An excerpt from German magazine Wirtschaftswoche's article, which cited several unnamed European and U.S. diplomats but did not include any direct quotes, could not be independently verified, while a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Berlin referred questions to Washington. The news and current affairs magazine said Trump had told French President Emmanuel Macron in April that he aimed to push German carmakers out of the United States altogether. Macron's administration in Paris declined to comment on the report. The Trump administration last week opened a so-called Section 232 trade investigation into vehicle imports, which could result in a 25 percent tariff on cars on the same "national security" grounds Washington used to impose metals duties in March. This could destroy exports by German carmakers, which control 90 percent of the U.S. premium market and are the biggest European Union exporters of cars to the United States. BMW owns Rolls-Royce, while Daimler has Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen controls Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche and Audi. Daimler, BMW and Audi declined comment. Porsche was not immediately available for comment. BMW shares were trading 0.5 percent lower at 0939 GMT, while Daimler and VW's shares were down 1 percent and 1.6 percent respectively, underperforming Germany's blue-chip DAX. Trump has railed against German carmakers before. And in early 2017, in an interview with German newspaper Bild, he said he would impose 35 percent tariffs on imported cars. At the time, the president called Germany a great car producer but said that the business relationship with the United States was an unfair one-way street. Germany's auto industry association VDA says its members exported 657,000 vehicles to North America last year, with total exports of vehicle components, cars, engines, as well as second-hand vehicles totaling 31.2 billion euros in 2016. Imports from the United States to Germany amounted to 7.4 billion euros, meaning a trade deficit of 23.8 billion euros the VDA's latest available figures show. However, German brands also have huge factories in the United States, where they built 804,000 cars last year, VDA said, providing jobs for U.S. workers. Berlin has reacted angrily to the U.S.

Jay Leno's Dodge Challenger raises $585k for USO in Scottsdale

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Of all the metal moved in Scottsdale, AZ, this holiday weekend, the one you see here was hardly the most expensive. But it's noteworthy for another reason: despite being a relatively humble, second-hand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, raised an impressive $565,625. That's because, first of all, it belonged to Jay Leno, and secondly because the proceeds were going to the USO. Leno donated the modern muscle car from his collection to benefit our men and women in uniform, and was on hand to present the car on stage at the Gooding & Company auction, along with USO president J.D. Crouch II and former Army chief of staff General George W. Casey, Jr. After frenzied and patriotic bidding, the gavel ultimately dropped at $360,000, accompanied by over $200,000 in additional contributions, bringing the total amount donated to the USO to over half a million. Commendable though it was, of course the Challenger didn't garner the highest bids at the auction. A 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $7.7 million and a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS fetched $2.4 million. A rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico sold for over $4,070,000 – which, according to Sports Car Market, is the most ever paid at auction for a 400 Superamerica. And a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 also sold for a record $1.98 million.

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.
