Tires new 7/13 @9K miles, about 70% life remaining
The original owner drove the car about 4-years before trading it into his local dealer. The second owner was a
long time Porsche enthusiast and asked the dealer (AutoKennel) to help him find a nice late model Porsche
convertible as he had recently retired and was moving from Southern California to Arizona. The dealer found this
car in June of 2013 with about 8,500 miles, and had it thoroughly inspected by a local Porsche shop before it was
purchased. The Porsche dealer reported it to be in excellent condition, so the second owner purchased the car, and
flew to Dallas, TX to pick it up and drove it to his new home in Phoenix, AZ. For the next 3-years, he enjoyed the
car and took it on several weekend trips. The second owner had recently moved back to Orange County California,
and found that he just wasn’t using the car, and didn’t have space to continue to keep it, so he asked the
dealer AutoKennel to list it for sale.
While the second owner owned the car, he installed the short shift kit, new Rennline pedal kit, hard wire Escort
radar detector kit, new battery, Michelin Pilot Sports tires (7/13 @9K miles), with 70% life remaining, oil
service, brake flush, and inspection (12K miles / 7/2014 at Porsche dealer). He had an oil service and inspection
in August 2016 at Hergesheimer motorsports and they found the car in excellent condition, and needing nothing. The
rear brakes are at 90% life left, and the front brakes at 70% life left.
The 997 S is in great condition. The paint is all original and verified with paint meter. It shines beautifully
and shows minimal signs of use. The wheels are in excellent condition with no rash and the tires have more than
half life remaining. All the glass is original as well. There are some minor nicks on the windshield, but no
cracks or significant chips. The soft-top is near perfect with no tears, rips, or signs of wear. The one-touch
function of the top works flawlessly. The front nose has clear bra installed when the car was new, and it shows
some slight discoloration. The interior is equally nice. The leather seats look great with hardly any wear, just
some minor wear on the driver seat exit bolster. Everything looks, feels, and smells fresh. All the buttons,
gauges, and other controls function properly and show no wear. All in all, it is clear that this example was
always garaged and used mostly for light weekend use.
The Porsche drives fantastically and is exactly as you would expect. It feels extremely tight and still new. The
clutch operates properly with no slipping and the car shifts very smoothly. The power and braking is spot on.
This example is ready for anything from daily use to weekend spirited open top driving.
This car has spent it’s entire life in the dry climates of Texas, Arizona, and Southern California. It has not
been driven in ice or snow and has no corrosion whatsoever.
The 911 comes with owner’s manual, factory toolkit, original window sticker, 2-keys, wheel lock, Porsche flat
repair kit, and windscreen.
I purchased the car in September 2016 from AutoKennel, and had the car shipped to Virginia in an enclosed carrier.
The car arrived clean and easily passed the Virginia State inspection. I had the car inspected and driven by local
sports car expert Jim at Tire America in Newport News, VA, and he indicated it was an extremely nice car. I
purchased the car with 21,887 miles, and put about a 1,000 miles on the car.

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Volkswagen Group sales down 15% in pandemic year, but EV sales up 214%
Wed, Jan 13 2021FRANKFURT, Germany — German automaker Volkswagen said its global sales fell 15.2% during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic but showed significant recovery toward the end of the year. The company more than tripled its sales of battery-only vehicles. Global sales for all of Volkswagen's brands amounted to 9.3 million vehicles. The fourth quarter showed a smaller decline of 5.7% and within that quarter the month of December was still further improved, showing a shortfall of only 3.2% from the same period the year before. Volkswagen said Wednesday that sales fell the most in Western Europe, by 21.6%, while China, the company's largest single market, was down 9.1% Sales of battery-only cars jumped 214% to 231,600 from 73,700 across all the company's brands. The company's electric sales leaders included the Volkswagen ID.3 compact, with 56,500, the Audi E-Tron SUV with 47,300, and the high-end Porsche Taycan with 20,000. Volkswagen said that its sales fell by less than the overall market, meaning it had slightly expanded its market share. “The COVID-19 pandemic made 2020 an extremely challenging year,” said group sales chief Christian Dahlheim. “The Volkswagen Group performed well in this environment and strengthened its market position." Volkswagen Group's brands include Volkswagen, Audi, Porsche, SEAT, and Skoda as sell as truck makers MAN and Scania.
Nick Murray's problematic Porsche 911 shows the power of a viral video
Fri, 18 Apr 2014When Nick Murray took delivery of his 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera S in June 2013, he had saved for it for the past five years. He didn't just pluck a random 911 off a dealer lot. He specially ordered his car with thousands of dollars in extras tailored just to him, and he captured all of the options on his YouTube channel. The love affair didn't last long. Eventually the channel became a place for Nick to air his growing list of grievances about his deteriorating 911. Eventually, his mix of righteous indignation and sarcasm went viral.
By late December, he had already had four warranty repairs done on the car. Things got much worse in March. The computers began resetting whenever Nick drove over large bumps. There was also an acrid, electrical smell that occasionally permeated the cabin. Murray filed for Lemon Law protection. Porsche Cars North America contacted him for the first time to fix the problem, but it didn't help.
Things culminated in April when Murray put up a new video that showed more troubles. He began arbitration with Porsche and asked for either his full purchase price back or an exact replacement. The company countered with a portion of what the car was worth, based on its mileage. Murray refused and turned to his YouTube watchers for help. He asked them to spread the word, and the video went viral with over 800,000 views as of this writing. Supporters posted it multiple times on Porsche's Facebook and Twitter sites.
