Red 1985 Porsche 944s on 2040-cars

I've owned my Porsche 944 for about 4 years now. It has been one of the nicest cars I've owned with the best gas mileage I've ever gotten out of any of my cars.  In the time I've owned it I have replaced the A/C unit, shocks, brakes, tires, power steering pump, starter, clutch, and clutch hydraulic pump. The gauge that shows mileage stopped around the time I bought the car from an old buddy, and when I say old, he was really old. It stopped around 110,000 miles and for the first two years it was my daily driver and acquired about 16 miles 5 days a week. It is garage kept and I drive it about once a week now. I really love the car and heads turn when I drive it, though I was bumped in the rear end about a year ago. As you can tell by the pictures its not bad. The bumper has no damage at all. It was pushed in a little, which has been fixed, and when that happened the little side pieces as you can see bent and the black bumper fell off. Why am I getting rid of it? My kids are to big to ride in the back now and complain.. The car runs and drives great. There are your typical paint chips, fades, little tears in the seat, and the car does have a little crack in the windshield, but over all the body and interior is in great condition. I didn't have the little pieces at the back fixed and didn't get a new bumper guard for the rear bumper because I knew I was going to have to sell it and since I was offering such a low opening bid I didn't want to put any more money into the car. 
Common myths about Porsche.  They are hard to work on and the parts are very high.  That's just not true. For the most part none of the parts I bought for this car were dramatically more expensive than any other car I've own and this Porsche has been the easiest car I've ever owned regarding preforming regular maintenance. i.e. plugs, oil, brakes. If you have any questions I'll be more than happy to answer them and I'll work with you in anyway to make sure you are happy with your purchase.  I've sold about 4 cars I've owned on ebay and I've never had anyone not give me a positive feed back and tell me how happy they were with their car.  I'm selling you a car that I drive and that I put my kids, 7 and 6, in.  GOOD LUCK...

Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.

German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe

Fri, Apr 22 2016

Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Porsche-Piech buy 10% stake in VW's holding company

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

In August, 2009, as the scuttled merger of Porsche and Volkswagen had gone bad and Porsche was backed up against the ropes, Porsche Automobil Holding SE (PAHSE) relinquished a ten-percent stake in itself to Qatar Holdings as well as options it held on 17 percent of VW shares. The sale meant that, for the first time since the founding of the company 61 years before, an entity outside the Porsche and Piech families had a say in the running of PAHSE.
Buying that ten-percent stake back returns full ownership to the two families, the holding company's sole possession being ownership of 50.7 percent of VW's common shares. The price paid wasn't disclosed, but at market rates the purchase would be worth close to $1.25 billion. Qatar intends to hold onto the 17-percent stake it has in Volkswagen.
