Malvern, Pennsylvania, United States

2004 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, 6-speed manual.  British racing green exterior, camel brown leather interior.  Brand new black convertible top. 

 

This is a 2 owner car.  Purchased new in late 2004 from Pacific Porsche in Southern California.  The car spent its entire life in So Cal (Hermosa Beach, to be specific which is a very affluent area) until I purchased the car 15 months ago and had it shipped to me in Philadelphia.  It was owned by a man in his mid-to-late 50’s is my guess on his age.  Since I have had the car I have put approximately 2,500 miles on it and have had it garaged the entire time.  I have put a brand new top on it as well as did some minor mechanical work to it – tune up, oil change, and new battery…

 

On the outside the car is a 9.5 out of 10.  Not a scratch/dent/or blemish to be found on the car except a few rock chips on the front.  Tires are in very good shape, rims are perfect.  As previously mentioned, there is also a brand new convertible top.   Mechanically it is pretty much perfect.  I had it checked out by a Porsche mechanic and he gave it a clean bill of health.    The inside:  I would rate this car an 8 out of 10.  The dash, door panels, and carpet are all in phenomenal shape.  The only reason I rank it as an ‘8’ is that each one of the leather seats could use some patchwork.  I  detailed the small issues in the pics as accurately and honestly as I can.  The seats despite the two small holes, they are in good shape.  If you want this car to be a 10 in every aspect, you could certainly redo the seats.  I have gotten some estimates to redo both seats to the exact dye of the Porsche leather and it will run approx. 2K.  I’m sure you could get it done quite a bit cheaper but those are the quotes to do the entire job perfectly. 

 

I have babied all of my cars but I am getting rid of many of my toys – I have a 2007 BMW 550i (also a stick shift) that is in absolutely flawless shape as well as my 1986 Volvo 240 (again, 5 speed manual) that is in superb shape, and a Wellcraft 22 foot bow rider.   

 

 

I have included pics but can get more upon request.  Below is the carfax report that I kept from my purchase last year.  Do not let the miles fool you.  This is one of Porsche’s best engines produced.  If properly cared for and not abused, this car can easily top 200K miles as the engine is near indestructible on these cars.  This is a prime reason I bought it but due to some unforeseen life changes I am selling many of my possessions.    I am selling this as a very low reserve auction.  I will aid in shipping the car or can show the car personally if you are local.

Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS caters to a very specific customer [w/video]

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Porsche is happy to cater to some very specific buyer demographics, and the brand's newly unveiled 911 Targa 4 GTS at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show is the perfect example of that tendency. The sports coupe is aimed at the customer who wants open-air driving without a full convertible, all-wheel drive traction and a little extra performance, all wrapped in a sporty package. Launching in the US in late-April, 2015, for $132,800, plus a $995 destination charge, this high-performance Targa benefits from all of the goodies from Porsche's GTS line. That gives it a 3.8-liter flat-six boasting 424 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of twist, and the choice of either a seven-speed PDK or seven-speed manual. The model also gets the Sport Chrono package, PASM, 20-inch wheels and a sport exhaust. Picking the PDK means the Targa 4 GTS can hit a top speed of 188 miles per hour and sprint to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Opting for the manual makes the run to 60 take a few more ticks at 4.5 seconds and scarcely cuts the top speed to 187 mph. The Targa 4 GTS is more than just about boosted performance, and shows off some handsome styling tweaks, as well. It wears a modded front bumper with an extra opening to cool the middle radiator. Plus, the wheels are 20-inch units from the 911 Turbo S, and the Bi-Xenon headlights get smoked coverings. Inside, drivers are held firmly in place by Sport Plus seats covered partially in black Alcantara. Porsche apparently sees a hole in its lineup that a higher-performance Targa can fill, and here it is. Look below for a video of intricate top doing its fascinating dance and read the German brand's full press release about the its latest take on the venerable 911. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The new 911 Targa 4 GTS More powerful, dynamic and exquisitely styled To mark the 50th anniversary of the 911 Targa, Porsche is offering this very popular model in the more powerful and dynamic GTS version for the first time. The targa concept of the 911 Targa 4 GTS delivers very safe driving enjoyment with all-wheel drive and a rollover protection bar; it also delivers open-air fun with a targa top that stows fully automatically. Contributing to a boost in dynamic performance are the 430 hp (316 kW) GTS engine together with the standard Sport Chrono package, PASM chassis, 20-inch wheels and a sport exhaust system.

Hyundai Blue Link Android smartwatch app will start your car

Mon, Jan 5 2015

We knew Hyundai would be bringing its Blue Link smartwatch app to the Consumer Electronics Show, and now that CES is upon us, the app's workings have been revealed. Once you get the free Blue Link app on your smartphone and your Android smartwatch and pair them up with the app, it's all systems go. Through either touch or voice commands, you can remotely lock or unlock your car doors, start and stop your engine, flash the lights and honk the horn, or have your watch locate your car. It works on every Hyundai with first- or second-gen Blue Link (which is all of them in the case of first-gen and the 2015 Genesis, Sonata and Azera for second-gen). The watch app isn't quite ready yet, but the company says you'll be able to get it sometime in Q1. There's a video above showing Hyundai's offering at work, and a press release below with more information below. HYUNDAI BLUE LINK TO DEBUT SMARTWATCH APP WITH VOICE RECOGNITION AT 2015 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS SHOW AND PEPCOM'S DIGITAL EXPERIENCE - Next Generation Blue Link System to Launch on 2016 Elantra GT and Veloster - The Blue Link smartwatch app works with first and second generation Blue Link equipped Hyundai models Fountain Valley, Calif., Jan. 2, 2015 – Smartwatch sales are skyrocketing and starting early in 2015 Hyundai owners will be able to connect with their cars using these wearable devices and the Hyundai Blue Link® smartwatch app. Hyundai will debut and demonstrate the Blue Link smartwatch app at Pepcom's Digital Experience and at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES®). Pepcom's Digital Experience takes place before CES on Jan. 5 and Hyundai's exhibit (North Hall, booth #2818) at CES will be open Jan. 6-9, 2015. Hyundai's cloud-based Blue Link platform allows features like remote start and service information to be quickly accessed through devices like smartwatches and smartphones. Hyundai partnered with Station Digital Media to develop the Blue Link smartwatch app. "This new app expands Hyundai's exploration into how wearable technology and Blue Link fit into a customer's lifestyle," said Barry Ratzlaff, executive director, customer connect and service business development, Hyundai Motor America. "Connecting to your car through a smartwatch and voice recognition was previously something seen only in science fiction movies. Now, we can provide this capability to owners of Hyundai vehicles equipped with Blue Link." The app is easy to use.

McLaren P1 vs Porsche 918 vs Ducati 1199 Superleggera in epic standing-mile drag race

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

We live in a high-tech supercar renaissance, with the Porsche 918 Spyder, McLaren P1 and Ferrari LaFerrari all duking it out for performance supremacy. All three members of this power trio place the engine behind the driver and use some kind of hybrid assist. However, each one finds a slightly different way to make that setup work. While all of the tech is insanely cool, let's just admit that we are all really wondering which one is the quickest and which is the fastest. Autocar aims to find out in a new video pitting two of them against a surprise challenger in the standing mile.
Unfortunately, the race is missing the Ferrari, despite Autocar's best efforts. So instead, it has another limited-edition, high-performance vehicle from Italy in the form of the Ducati 1199 Superleggera. The bike has just two cylinders, but at 1.2-liters of displacement, it makes over 200 horsepower, and all that gumption is packaged into a magnesium monocoque body with carbon fiber bodywork to keep weight low. Granted, the cycle is going up against the 875-hp Porsche and 903-hp McLaren, but traction, aerodynamics and gearing all play a part in this fascinating video.
There's no sense in ruining the winner before watching, but Autocar teases that the finish is one of its closest drag races ever. Check out the video to find out just what that means.
