Here you have a 1987 944S with all the Porsche luxuries that was bought by a perfectionist.  Like most purchases it looked ok, but after purchase came the surprises.  My friend is a novice to the Porsche crowd and this was his first one.  He bought it , it seemed OK but then little things were wrong, so he set out to make it mechanically perfect.  At 79600 miles put in new gas struts, new turn signal switch other misc.  Bill came to $2,023.53.  Next a little more driving , then more stuff not quite perfect so needed to be fixed.  New AC compressor, new AC expansion valve, new windshield reservoir and pump and new Dynomax VT muffler, total $1,886.96.  Few more miles then New drive belts, Timing belt, spark plugs, distributor cap and rotor , valve cover gasket balance shaft seal and clutch to the tune of $3,777.44.  Mechanically it needs nothing.  I am including the number for Mitch at the repair shop a 944 expert and he can tell you they went through the car top to bottom, NO mechanical issues that they have not already been repaired.  The paint is good, normal use, stone chips, the leather on both seats are cracked, BUT NO ISSUES WITH THE RUNNING OF THE CAR.  Don't be fooled by other inexpensive 944 that look OK, THE BILLS ADD UP FAST.  To give you an idea when he bought the car , sounded and ran ok , but in less than a year put $7687.93 plus the cost of a new set of tires.  Many say their car needs nothing, BUT look at the bills this car is mechanically sound.  Questions call Mitch at Hi Line auto he can answer any questions or set up a test drive.  (630) 663-0044. My friend has now become a Porsche freak and after getting this car mechanically just right is now moving on and bought an even faster Porsche... so the cycle begins again.  please email with any questions or if you would like additional pictures. I have the car for sale locally so have the right to end the auction at any time.  Come out schedule a test drive see for yourself this is a tight Porsche!

Audi spearheads development of an ultra-luxurious EV code-named Landjet

Tue, Nov 17 2020

The rumors claiming Audi wants to release a model positioned above the A8, and the reports of an ongoing electric car development program called Artemis internally, have seemingly converged. Citing sources inside the carmaker, a German media outlet reported the firm is busily creating a super-luxurious EV code-named Landjet. Audi is leading the development process, but sister companies Bentley and Porsche will reportedly receive their own version of the Landjet. All three models will likely take the form of three-row SUVs with generous dimensions. They'll be so big that none of Audi's production facilities will be able to manufacture them, according to an anonymous insider who spoke with German newspaper Handelsblatt. Luckily, Volkswagen makes vans, too. It's too early to tell what will power the Landjets. Audi assigned some of its most brilliant engineers to Project Artemis, and the technology they develop will permeate the three EVs before trickling down into cheaper models in the group. Expect high performance, a high driving range, and semi-automated driving technology. If the report is accurate, the Landjet vehicles will enter production in Hanover, Germany, by the end of 2024. The facility currently makes the Volkswagen Transporter, which is a direct descendant of the rear-engined Bus sold for decades, and it will start manufacturing the production version of the ID.Buzz concept in the coming years. Volkswagen hasn't commented on the report, and car companies rarely address speculation, but its Commercial Vehicles division released a statement in November 2020 that confirms the Hanover site will begin building SUVs about halfway through the 2020s. It's a major shift for a factory normally tasked with manufacturing vans. "Our main plant in Hanover is becoming the production site for three completely new premium electric vehicles in the Group. These D-SUVs are genuine flagship projects: premium, 100% electric, and highly automated," said Carsten Intra, the head of Volkswagen's Commercial Vehicles division, in a statement. He added the firm will invest about 680 million euros (about $807 million) to build a new assembly line, among other upgrades.

A closer look at the 2015 Porsche Macan

Wed, 27 Nov 2013



He assured us that "this is a sports car."
Porsche took the wraps off its all-new 2015 Macan at the LA Auto Show last week, and while it's easy to write it off as just a badge-engineered version of the Audi Q5, you'd be very, very wrong. For starters, 75 percent of the car's platform was re-engineered by the Porsche team, and with a choice of two twin-turbocharged engines, the Macan should absolutely live up to the brand's pedigree.

Five reasons to love, or hate, the culture of German cars

Thu, Mar 5 2015

A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind – but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.
