1987 Porsche 944S twin cam, 5spd coupe. This car is in real nice shape both in and out. Body is completely solid with no past or present rust or accident damage, and has been garage kept for most of its years. Doors, hood, power sunroof, hatch, all operate properly. Glass is all perfect, as well as door/window/power roof/hatch seals. Silver paint in nice condition, with few chips/scratches, hood was repainted due to sun fading, and has a couple very minor flaws, but overall car paint is very good. Power mirror, door locks, trim all in nice shape. Burgundy "sport" interior really nice, with no rips/tears. Carpeting, door panels, headliner, dash all real good shape, with only very small cracks between the defroster opening that are not very noticeable. rear hatch area carpeting also nice, and car comes with factory hatch area shade to block sun. Original matching color enclosure bag for removable sunroof is included, as well as original, never used "space saver" tire and Porsche tire compressor kit. Everything works on car, such as horn/blinkers/flipup lights/ac/power seats/power sunroof/power seats/radio/gauges/locks, etc. Engine, 5spd transmission, clutch, brakes, power steering, and all mechanicals operate smoothly as they should, and are in excellent shape. Engine very recently had new belts/head/battery/oil cooler reseal/coolant flush and new coolant/oil &filter, etc, and is fully serviced. Wheels are factory 16" "phone dial" pattern. Tires have 4-5000 miles left in them, but will need to be replaced before/after that. This is a two adult owner car that has been well cared for, and it shows. Car looks and drives very straight and tight, with no noises or surprises. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. If you are in the market for a vintage Porsche 944, then you should really check out this factory twin cam 944S, which has 30 more horsepower over the standard 944, without all the turbo headaches.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
Porsche 911 GT3 RS getting all-new atmospheric engine
Thu, Jan 15 2015Porsche surprised many of its most puritanical enthusiasts when it took a decidedly more usable approach with the current 911 GT3. But when the new GT3 RS debuts, it promises to be a much more extreme departure. And a big part of that comes down to the engine. At the Detroit Auto Show this week, Auto Express spoke with Porsche R&D chief Wolfgang Hatz – who also happens to be head of engine and transmission development for the entire Volkswagen group. Hatz revealed that Porsche has developed a completely new engine for the GT3 RS, and while previous rumors suggested the RS would go turbo to fill in for the lack of a GT2 (and make the most out of its displacement), Hatz confirmed that it will be naturally aspirated. Considering that Porsche rarely goes downwards when it comes to 911 engine displacement, only upwards, we'd expect the new RS to pick up where the previous 4.0 left off. The new GT3 RS is also expected to pack a more extreme suspension, aero and stripped-out interior, but those hoping for an old-school approach may be disappointed to learn that the new RS will (at least at launch) only be available with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission – though a manual version could follow if there's enough demand. In a related development, Hatz also hinted that the Cayman GT4 could debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March, with an even more extreme approach than the previous Cayman R. The new top-of-the-line Cayman is reportedly being developed to comply with GT4 class racing regulations but be fully homologated for road use. Related Video:
Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
