928gts W 23k Actual Miles And In Show Condition! on 2040-cars
Geneva, New York, United States
This Porsche 928 GTS is among the finest in the country, and is rare. There were only 139 made in 1994, with the first 20 being of the 1993 specs, and the last 119 made with the highest level of technology ever produced for the line. There were only 77 made in the final year of production, making my car one of the last 200 made of Porsche's first 8 cylinder super car. I have an independent appraisal made two years ago when I bought this investment, which depicts the car to likely appreciate in value by 5% per year if kept in the same fine condition.
This GTS is highly original except for maintenance items. Only the stereo has been changed from the factory presentation. Now, I have a Blaupunkt Toronto BT, with MP3 and USB compatibility in addition to Bluetooth. There is a 12" woofer and a huge amp in the hatchback area which is shielded by the hatch cover. I have the original carpet and padding, and the cargo net to go with her, but not shown in the pics. The original tan floor mats are not shown and go with, and have some signs of wear. The battery is new with a trickle charger set up, installed for storage. The paint is in extraordinary condition. I know there are some, but I find no sign of chips when I wax her, so a great job of cover up was done. This car has not been damaged and the paint is original. The Michelin Pilot Sports are all new with about 1500 miles on them. All services are up to date, including the timing belt and water pump service. This car needs absolutely zero service, as I have made sure all fluids and services have been performed so I could drive her with confidence. There are no leaks. The AC is strong and the exhaust sounds truly terrific. It softly roars, more than any other Porsche Ive driven. The original tools are there but it looks like one slot is empty. The original tire and changing tools are also there as original. The oil pressure is very high and she does not ever over heat. I've had 19 Porsches and acknowledge this one to be well above average. I am selling due to my advancing age and lack of time to drive several vehicles. If I can qualify you as a serious buyer, I can provide references and the independent appraisal mentioned above. However, I recommend that you also have the car appraised or qualified before buying. Let me, John, know of your questions by email to Rx4jp@aol.com. Last comment. I've had manual transmission and AT 928s. These cars are so powerful and well geared, that you would seldom get to use more than two gears on US roads. With the Automatic, you get ease of touring even in traffic, plus a frightening 'stomp-down' when you open her up. I honestly believe the AT makes the car seem faster. It is certainly more accommodating. Good luck in your search. These are fantastic cars. |

Consumer Reports selling its road-tested roadsters [w/video]
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Here's a chance to acquire a celebrity-owned vehicles, and this time at a discount instead of a premium. So the celebrity in this case is Consumer Reports, that magazine that could be equally adored and abhored by car enthusiasts. CR buys all of its test vehicles and usually finds willing second owners within its own ranks, but its opening its small used-car lot to the public. On the forecourt are four roadsters: an automatic 2012 Audi TT 2.0 TFSI Quattro S-Tronic with 6,600 miles for $36,500, a manual 2012 BMW Z4 sDrive28i with 8,400 miles for $45,000, a manual 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLK250 for $39,500 and a manual 2013 Porsche Boxster with 7,000 miles for $48,000.
Those numbers mean a savings of $9,000 to $10,000 before haggling - each car is listed with an "Asking price" so there could be some wiggle room if you show up with pockets full of dough and eyes full of serious intent. Since the money CR earns from the sales go back into the magazine's budget to buy more test cars, however, it probably won't take any oddball trades, so you can forget about getting any purchasing help from that track-day AMC Javelin project on blocks in the back yard.
The vehicles have been taken care of and spiffed up for sale; buyers will take delivery at the CR test track in East Haddam, Connecticut and get a tour of the facilities. While you're there they'll even take you on a lap around the track so you can feel how your car handles when driven by one of its testers. They will probably not help you with advice on which toaster and dehumidifier to buy - you'll still need to get a subscription for that. Have a look at the video below to see a day in the life of a CR test car.
Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.
2015 Porsche Macan S
Thu, 31 Jul 2014I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.
