1987 944 Turbo w/ 61k miles, Clean Title, Guards Red / Black int. Good to Very Good Paint. Runs great - fantastic power (350hp) with no problems, accidents, etc. 3 years ago I spent $30,000 upgrading and replacing everything to the config below. Every hose, sensor, coil, rotor, timing belt, waterpump, plugs, wires, coolant tank, head gasket, turbo waterpump, waterpump relay, fan relays, and nearly every other part in the entire engine was replaced. Amsoil Oil and gear changes for the last 10 years that I have owned it. Given $40k+ into the car, the buy it now price is the lowest price and is extremely fair compared to similar cars in the market. I could potentially reduce the price by $800 if the set of Cup Wheels and New Tires are sold separately.
This car is a fantastic street / light track car with a reliable 350hp at 15psi. What a blast to drive.

Known Issues -
There are only a few minor issues worth noting other than normal wear and tear. There is a slight leak in oil pan gasket so the car gets a small quarter sized drip under the engine every few weeks. The driver side window switch doesn't always work consistently and should be replaced, the 968 hatch didn't line up perfectly so it is sticky when using the key or button to release the rear trunk, and there is a dent in driver side door (pictured).
Odometer Readings on VIN Check:
- There are a number of erroneous mileage entries provided by state and 3rd party inspection stations over the cars 26 year life. The car was purchased from the 2nd owner in 2003 and since then has only been driven 14,000 miles. When my mechanic rebuilt the top end of the engine, he attested that the cylinder walls were so clean that there is no possibility of mileage rollback or issues.
- Note that the report automatically rules out the erroneous mileage entries since they are either not possible or not from reputable sources. I am a 10 year PCA member and can show you in detail just how clean and new this car is for its age.

- Noah Indoor/Outdoor Car Cover

2015 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS [UPDATE]
Mon, Dec 1 2014UPDATE: An earlier version of this story referenced the 911's six-speed manual transmission, but of course, Porsche uses a seven-speed manual in this car. The text has been changed to reflect this. There are no fewer than 19 different models in today's Porsche 911 series. While each appeals to the enthusiast, the race-bred GT3 is the pinnacle of the automaker's rear-engined lineup. Unfortunately, and despite the GT3's racing circuit prowess, its rigid track-tuned persona is too grating for many as a daily driver. To satisfy those who put sporty driving dynamics at the top of their list, but don't want to compromise comfort, Porsche has introduced the 2015 911 Carrera GTS. Raising its performance quotient, the GTS model boasts a handful of standard features that elevate it above its Carrera S siblings. Mechanically, it features an enhanced 3.8-liter flat-six bolted into the tail of the widebody platform (shared with the Carrera 4 and GT3). Other goodies include Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV), Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), a black-tipped Sport exhaust system and centerlock 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheels (five-lug wheels are a no-cost option). Cosmetically, the GTS is differentiated by its darkened lights, painted black wheels, Sport Design front spoiler, Sport Design exterior mirrors, black engine grille, rear black louvers (or lights on all-wheel drive models) and a 'GTS' logo on the lower doors. Inside the cabin are standard Sport Plus seats, Alcantera upholstery throughout with contrasting stitching, black gauges and anodized black aluminum trim. Offering us an excellent opportunity to put the second-generation GTS through its paces on a variety of roads, Porsche tossed us the keys in the LA Basin and pointed us towards Willow Springs Raceway, in the Mojave Desert. Driving Notes The GTS is offered in coupe or Cabriolet body styles, each with a choice between rear- and all-wheel drive. Buyers are also offered a choice between a traditional seven-speed manual gearbox or Porsche's seven-speed dual clutch transmission (PDK). The GT3, meanwhile, is only offered as a coupe with PDK. We grabbed the keys to a Guards Red rear-wheel drive coupe with PDK for our outbound drive, and a GT Silver Metallic all-wheel drive Cabriolet with a seven-speed manual for our return trip. Finding another 30 horsepower from the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six required some old-fashioned tricks.
China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
2015 Porsche Cayenne S
Tue, 23 Sep 2014Oh, 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.
