Greetings,
I'm the second owner of this 2006 911 S. I bought the car in Arizona, from the original owner. The original owner was a Porsche collector and well known to the local dealer. Since purchasing the car, it has been driven as an occasional use, Summer car, and has been an absolute joy to own. The car is in very good mechanical and cosmetic condition, as you would expect. There is nothing needed, and no surprises.
I welcome a pre-purchase inspection and will assist if one is desired. I'm only a few miles from the local Porsche dealer. Basic maintenance and oil change, filter changes are up to date. The tires are Hankook, Ventus Evo V12s, and they're 50% worn. The brakes are sharp and incredible. This is my second Porsche and I've come to know the cars well. I had a Cayman S before purchasing this 911S. The car has never been used on a track or driven hard in any way. I drove the car mostly on weekends and tried to drive mostly on smooth, country roads, which is where the car shines. I've used only Zymol for exterior car and the car has rarely been dirty enough to wash. There is a road rash on the back, right wheel. This came with the car when I bought it. The CD player doesn't eject as it should. I haven't looked into having this fixed. I enjoy the sound of the engine. There are minor stone chips on the hood, which I'm leaving for the new owner to either keep or have touched up. Touching up will weaken the original paint and I didn't want to affect the factory paint. I like to keep cars as they originally are made and I don't like modification. This said, I changed the indicator lights to be clear rather than yellow, which I believe is a nice improvement. I did this on my Cayman S as well. The original indicator lights will accompany the car.
The car has PASM, which is active stability control. This tightens the suspension and sharpens throttle response. This is actually very noticeable when driving. Many options, including: Power, heated seats. Bose high end sound. Sport Chrono Plus. Navigation, metal door sill insignias, colored crest wheel caps, short throw sport shifter, and full leather interior. Retail price was over $94,000. I have the original Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, which is a nice document to have.
Gorgeous carmon red over grey leather. Full leather package, including dash. The headlined is alcanterra (sp). Extra, Porsche floor mats included. The original keys are present. I've upgraded the key fob on the driver's key to the 997.2 key, which is much more robust than the 997.1 key. This is minor, but it's a $300 key. The car has a RayTel hands free system. This was put in by the first owner and it does work well. It links to my iPhone. The car is also equipped with a LoJack system, which I never activated. I don't fear theft, since the car is rarely anywhere other than my residence.
The car seems to have blue book value at $51,000 or so. I'm a reasonable person and will work to meet a serious buyer who wants a great car. I would like the car to go to someone who will maintain and enjoy it. To summarize, this car is exceptionally clean and well maintained. There are no surprises. Title is clear and unencumbered. I live about 20 minutes from Detroit Metro Airport and can accommodate someone flying in. I flew to AZ and drove this car to MI and it was a very fun trip! Please ask any questions.
Please note: I am the second owner of this car. The Autocheck report is stating more owners and this is incorrect. Possibly due to my buying from the dealer, but I'm unsure. I know for certain that I am the second owner and I can verify this with 100% certainty.

Jaguar F-Type pitted against Porsche 911 Cabriolet by Tiff Needell
Wed, 24 Apr 2013You knew it wouldn't take long and it looks like EVO is first onto YouTube with a battle between the 2014 Jaguar F-Type and the 2013 Porsche 911. Tiff Needell spends a few laps warming up the tires (read: drifting like mad) in each droptop before getting in a timed run to see who's champion and who's second best.
Before the bell rings, its the Porsche that's got everything to lose, the 50-year-old era-defining sportscar getting on with a 3.4-liter flat-six, 350 horsepower, a seven-speed manual and a 3,197-pound curb weight. Other sportscars, like the F-Type, continue to eye the 911 like a flag atop Everest that they plan to first touch, and then rip from its socket. The mid-trim Jaguar rolls into the contest with a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 with 380 hp, an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters and a curb weight of 3,521 pounds.
The video below shows you what happens when you let all those numbers fight it out on the same stretch of curvy track. Check it out.
VW adding particulate filters to gas engines
Wed, Aug 3 2016Volkswagen is working hard to overcome the PR disaster that is its diesel emissions scandal, and part of its efforts is focusing, weirdly, on petrol engines. Starting in June 2017, the embattled German automaker will add particulate filters to the gas-powered Volkswagen Tiguan and Audi A5. The change will eventually impact nearly every direct-injected gas engine the VW Group makes. Audi? Particulate filter. Seat? Particulate filter. Even Bentley is going to get the tech, all in a bid to reduce soot emissions by 90 percent. In fact, by 2022 VAG expects 7 million of its vehicles to boast the emissions-cleaning tech, which has long been a fixture on diesel engines. "Following increases in efficiency and lower CO2 output, we are now bringing about a sustained reduction in the emission levels of our modern petrol engines by fitting particulate filters as standard," Volkswagen Group research and design boss Dr. Ulrich Eichhorn said in a statement. "In the future, all models will be equipped with the latest and most efficient SCR catalytic converter technology." VW's initial rollout focuses on the 1.4-liter, turbocharged Tiguan and the 2.0-liter, turbocharged A5. Considering the popularity of the 2.0-liter across the VW range, we'd expect it's only a matter of time before VW expands its particulate filters tech to additional gas-powered vehicles.

911 beware! Porsche testing new top-trim Boxster
Wed, Dec 10 2014The Boxster and Cayman are like the scrappy siblings compared to their star brother – the Porsche 911. And now it looks like the rivalry is about to get even more serious, as our spies have captured this hotted-up Boxster doing some winter testing. We've already seen Porsche evaluating a higher-performance version of the Cayman, rumored to be called the GT4. It would reportedly offer a taste of the thrills of the 911 GT3, but at a lower price. The coupe appears to have a convertible twin in this Boxster prototype. The biggest giveaway of their possible relationship is the shared front bumper with larger intakes and an extra opening at the tip of the hood. Although, this one lacks the Cayman's big, rear spoiler in favor of a smaller decklid unit. The good news for fans of shifting for themselves is that this tester is fitted with a manual transmission, according to our spies. Being a prototype, though, there's no guarantee that the gearbox makes it to production. At least in Cayman trim, these higher performance models might use a tuned version of the 3.4-liter flat-six with between 370 and 400 horsepower. Though, an earlier rumor suggested that a turbocharged four-cylinder could sit behind the driver. Until we know for sure, glance at the gallery to see a Porsche that might try to challenge its big brother.
