You're looking at a 1987 Porsche 924S, with a 2.5L four cylinder engine, 5 speed transmission, 135,xxx miles on the odometer and lots of love left to give to a capable, mature driver.

Without being a museum piece, this is an impressively nice example of a sports car from one of the world's premier builders of the breed. The car is in solid mechanical condition; these cars are often available cheaply, in need of either timing belt or clutch service. This car had the timing belt replaced at 117,xxx miles and the clutch replaced at 133,xxx miles. The power windows and rare Saratoga glass top open and close smoothly, the rear hatch opens up all on it's own, and the engine pulls smoothly past 6K, where you'll realize that a "driver's car" doesn't need 8 cylinders or forced induction to deliver the satisfaction, balance and dynamic response of a well balanced, low-slung coupe.

Take note: this car is 26 years old, is not in showroom condition. In the interest of honesty, here are all the issues and problems with the car that I can think of mentioning.
-The nose of the vehicle has some paint chips, accumulated over it's mileage. No evidence of a wreck or crash, but I've included a picture for reference.
-The passenger side door makes a small clicking sound audible over bumps and pavement imperfections. This goes away when the window is adjusted up and down.
-The trunk carpet has some wear in the middle, but is not torn. One of the insulating pads under the carpet flaps that cover the tool chubby behind the rear fenders are missing.
-The brakes, while exceptionally strong with about 50% pad life remaining, have some glazing and can be felt pulsing gently under light braking. This does NOT prevent the brakes from working, but it is noticeable to the discerning driver.
-The dash pad has 5 noticeable cracks in it, none wider than 1/8" but present. Again, a picture is included to show this.
-The A/C blows cool, but not cold. If this is an issue that prevents the car from being sold, I'll have it serviced and re-list the car.
-The front seats have splits on both sides of the center piece of cloth, but the foam and the cloth itself is in great shape otherwise.

Serious parties and interested persons should feel free to ask me any questions. Thank you!

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.

Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine

Sat, 08 Feb 2014

European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

Win an electric car and celebrate Earth Day

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Enter to win this giveaway or any other Omaze experience now through April 23, 2021 and receive 500 extra entries into any campaign plus a chance to win $10K with code GOGREEN500. Simply add the discount at checkout. Whether you like it or not, there will come a day when most, if not all of us, will be driving electric cars. For some of us that day can't come soon enough, and in honor of Earth Day we've put together a list of our favorite car giveaways so you can save some green while being green.Â Win a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S and $20,000 - Enter Here If there’s one thing Porsche is good at, itÂ’s making fast, beautiful cars, and the Taycan Turbo S is no exception. Making 750 horsepower, 774 lb-ft of torque and a top speed of 161 miles per hour, punching the accelerator will surely throw you back in your seat. In fact, its 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds matches that of the quickest Porsche 911 ever made, the Turbo S. The difference between this Taycan Turbo S and that 911 Turbo S, of course, is that the only reason youÂ’ll ever need to stop off at a gas station is to fill up on snacks. That and the fact the Taycan doesn't actually have a turbo anywhere in the car. We wouldnÂ’t be reaching for a bag of FlaminÂ’ Hot Cheetos, though, because this incredibly comfortable leather interior is immaculate, and weÂ’d hope to keep it that way. Enter here for a chance to win this prize worth $220,000. Win a Himalaya Land Rover Defender 110 EV and $20,000 - Enter Here The Land Rover Defender is an icon: an intense, luxurious off-roader that turns heads and can crawl up nearly anything. The problem? For the past 20+ years it hasn't been available in the United States and it's never been what youÂ’d call environmentally friendly. But this Defender is different. ItÂ’s vintage, restored by Himalaya and itÂ’s all-electric. At 275 horsepower, you wonÂ’t be thrown back in your seat, but the 406 lb-ft of torque helps make this an incredibly capable rock crawler.
