My Story: Alright, here's the story and I'm sticking to it. I had a 1982 928 which I sold about 5 weeks ago to purchase this this 1987 928. The previous owner was a gentleman from Boston, Massachusetts. He was sellling the car on ebay just about 5 weeks ago. He bought the car from the owners in Texas about a year before (his story from his Ebay listing is below).
Anyway, I fly to Boston and met this guy and he's basically a RedSox version of me. Likes cars, watches, and nice things. He was very forthright with me, picked me up at the airport, delivered the car and I drove it back from Mass to Texas, 2000 miles. The car rode beautifully and I was thoroughly impressed. I intended to keep this 928 and immediately contacted Sean Ratts (if you're a Rennlister you know who he is) and Sean gave it a look over for me. He gave it two thumbs up. That made me feel good. So I had the a/c charged and we talked about some repairs that I would do in the coming months, including replacing the motor mounts. That was pretty much all we could see was visibily needed. The car has just over 44k miles.
Anyway, last week the Boston guy calls me and tells me that the Porsche 911 4S he bought from an enthusiast in California is up for sale. The 4S has a GT3 package and had a list price of $122k. He asked if I wanted it, so I said "yes" if I can sell this 928 and my 2002 911 4s. You will see my 911 4S also is up for sale.
So the ONLY and I MEAN ONLY reason I am selling my 928 is because this damn 911 4S he has is so incredibly sweet and I can't afford to have both cars (plus the other two I have).
WHAT YOU GET: You get the car as it currently sits with the original chrome wheels in the pic with fairly new tires (less than 3000 miles). The car is Venitian Blue, with blue interior.
This car rides so smoothly and has zero vibration in the wheels or braking. It is very quite with the exception of a little vibration in the dash when you take off (hence the need for new motor mounts). The other repairs Sean and I discussed were things to do while you had the engine off the mounts, i.e., oil pan gasket, etc...
Because I intended to keep this 928, last month I contacted Rob Budd at Classic Nine Leathers and ordered a newly recovered dash and pod. They are scheduled to arrive today (june 7). I paid $1600 for both. Receipts will be provided. They have not been installed as of yet. You will have to have that done.
So you get the car in the pics, with a new dash and pod recover in blue. The car has ordinary wear and tear, but I feel it is necessary to state the obvious. This car is being old AS IS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. And while the old owner gave me a bunch of receipts, the car is 26 years old and almost every part on it is 26 years old! Sounds silly for me to say that, but for some folks I guess you have to say it.
Porsche 928s are beautiful, beautiful cars. They ride incredibly well. I want to keep this car, but I need the cash from the sale of this one and the other 911 to buy Boston guy's 911 4S.
Lastly, I have a detailed listing from Park Place Porsche in Dallas where the car was serviced by the 1st owner (a 60 year old woman).
Boston Guys Story: (from his Ebay sale to me 6 weeks ago).
Selling my 1987 Porsche 928S4. This is basically a ONE OWNER car that was purchased in February of 2012 from the original owner in Texas. It was owned by a wealthy woman who bought it new for her 60th birthday! Car has original 43,XXX mileage. The car is in perfect running condition and drives like new, no rattles or shakes, accelerates great and stops perfectly straight. It is well equipped and does have the rare rear AC system.
Although it was always garaged and mileage is low, I have went through this entire car over the past year doing thousands of dollars worth of needed things, both cosmetically and mechanically. I have all the reciepts for the work performed and it has had all the major maintenance done such as timing belts and rollers, oil pan gasket, complete tune up, CV boots and other miscellaneous things. Additionally, I went through the interior, steering wheel has been restored(stitching let go), front seats reupholstered using highest materials from Classic 9(drivers seat was worn and couldn't match perfectly). Car is all stock with the exception of the stereo, it has been upgraded with an Alpine unit that is very correct looking along with the addition of an alpine amplifier and very nice high end speakers that fit perfectly in the factory locations and look correct using factory grills. Car presently has brand new 19" wheels and tires as you can see in the pictures. I also have the factory wheels which happen to be the rare factory chrome versions of the flat style wheels, tires are new on the factory wheels. Mechanically the car is 98% perfect, not that I know what the 2% is that it needs, but nothing is ever perfect. Cosmetically the car is 95% perfect on the exterior, one or two minor blemishes/scratches as you might suspect, the interior is 95% perfect as well, the only thing that doesn't look "new" is the dash which does have small cracks but nothing that distracts from the cars overall quality.
I presently have a moderate car collection which includes amongst other cars, three Porsches. If I were to compare this car to a BRAND NEW car I would give the exterior a 7/10, interior 8/10 and mechanics a 9/10. Compared to other 928's of this vintage 1987-1990, this car is by far a superior example in terms of both overall condition and necessity for maintence and upkeep expenditures. As you likely know, you can buy one of these cars for $7k with 100k+ miles on it and then spend $5k+ to make it anything close to "nice", and you still have a car worth $8k because of the high mileage. I have spared no expense in buying, maintaning, restoring or anything for this car. Selling as I need to reduce the collection and focus on other priorities.

Dan Neil pokes fun at the celeb cars of 2014
Sun, Dec 28 2014Look, we try really hard not to pay any attention to the Kardashians and their vapid reality TV empire. But, as troubling as that brood may be, occasionally we're impressed and/or horrified by their four-wheeled conveyances. In fact, that curiosity extends beyond talentless reality stars with rotund glutes to celebs in general. That's why we're enjoying Dan Neil's sometimes biting take on the celebrity cars of 2014. Besides paying tribute to Kim K, husband Kanye West and the adorable Lamborghini that their spawn rides about in, Neil also takes a look at LeBron James' turn as a Kia spokesman and boxer Floyd Mayweather's trio of Bugatti Veyrons. Matthew McConaughey is a focus of Neil's as well, thanks to his oft-panned advertisements for Lincoln (and the raucous parodies they inspired), before finishing on the high, with Jerry Seinfeld and his new Porsche 918 Spyder. Take a look at Neil's recap of the celebrity cars of 2014. News Source: The Wall Street Journal Celebrities Humor Bugatti Kia Lamborghini Lincoln Porsche Videos porsche 918 spyder celebrity dan neil
Recharge Wrap-up: 2015 Fuel Economy Guide available, how Porsche ships 919 Hybrid
Fri, Nov 7 2014The EPA and Department of Energy have released the 2015 Fuel Economy Guide. Unsurprisingly, the groups say that this year features more fuel efficient and low-emissions vehicles than previous years, and they span a greater variety of vehicle types. The guide also provides "best-in-class" lists, greenhouse gas ratings and estimated fuel costs for each vehicle. The EPA and DOE hope that car buyers will use the guide to help choose cars that are better for the environment and the climate. Check out the guide for yourself or read more in the press release below. To get from one WEC race to the next, Porsche ships its 919 Hybrid LMP1 cars by air. As the team travels around the world - from continent to continent - it must take 35 tons worth of cargo with it, including two LMP1 cars. That means draining fluids, partially dismantling the cars, and fitting everything into a 747. The team also ships items by sea, which requires shipping extra sets of items due to the longer shipping times. "It's all about efficiency," according to Porsche. Read more in the press release below. Terra Motors is unveiling the A4000i electric scooter, which it will sell in Europe, at the EICMA motorcycle show in Milan. The A4000i, which features smartphone connectivity, will be the company's European flagship model. Terra Motors will begin selling in Italy, and plans to make arrangements to sell in several more countries shortly after. Terra hopes to set up manufacturing in Europe, as well. Also on display at EICMA is the company's Bizmo II electric scooter, which has a driving range of 93 miles on a single charge. Read more in the press release below. Volkswagen is providing a 2015 e-Golf to Stanford University for research. The car will be used to study electric mobility, improvements in the driving experience and people's driving behavior and attitudes toward EVs. "Volkswagen's longstanding relationship with Stanford has allowed us to push the boundaries of automotive research and innovation," says Volkswagen's Ewald Goessmann, "and we look forward to extending our work together to drive advances in electric vehicles."

Porsche bringing Macan S Diesel to US instead of 4-cylinder [w/poll]
Mon, 16 Dec 2013When Porsche unveiled the new Macan at the LA Auto Show, it announced two powerplants for the US market, both of them twin-turbo V6s: the Macan S equipped with 340 horsepower from its 3.0-liter engine, and the Macan Turbo with 400 horses from 3.6 liters. But those aren't the only engines Porsche will offer in its new compact crossover. Porsche is also offering the Macan S Diesel overseas with 258 hp, and reports have since indicated that a pair of four-cylinder models on their way: a 2.0-liter turbo four with 280 hp and four-pot turbodiesel of the same capacity with an as-yet undisclosed output.
Now Car and Driver is reporting that while those four-cylinder engines won't be making the transatlantic voyage to our shores, Porsche will offer the aforementioned Macan S Diesel in North America beginning in early 2015, nearly a year after the gas V6 versions arrive.
The 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 is based on the same engine found in the Cayenne Diesel and the Audi Q5 TDI on which the Macan is based. Of course, its 248 hp is substantially less than the 340 ponies in the Macan S, but its 413 pound-feet of torque outshines not only the 339 lb-ft in the Macan S but also the 406 lb-ft in the Macan Turbo. Acceleration times, however, suggest the Macan S Diesel is still slower, with a 6.3-second run to 62 mph than neither the Macan S (5.4 sec) or Macan Turbo (4.8). The good news is that the Macan S Diesel is tipped to undercut the price of both, dropping the oil-burning crossover's MSRP below that of the $49,900 starting price for the Macan S and the $49,600 for the base Cayenne. If that C/D prediction comes to pass, that will make it the Macan S Diesel most affordable Porsche sold.
