 First, let me say that this is a strong and beautiful car.  The exterior is as new, with no issues.  Check out the pictures.  It runs like a watch and doesn’t burn or leak a drop of oil.  I have had it for fourteen years and it has been my daily driver.  I would not hesitate to get into it tomorrow and drive it across the country.  And I am a fanatic who keeps the exterior amazingly beautiful for a 23 year old car.  You will find no better example!

The problem occurred when I moved from Chicago and wasn’t aware of the negative affects of the strong south Georgia sun.  The driver seat dried out and cracked as you can see from the pictures.  The passenger seat shows signs of wear but is still in good shape.  One of the rear seats also needs replacement, although the other rear seat is perfect.  The dash is perfect with no signs of wear, shrinking or cracking.  The top portion of the leather steering wheel needs to be re-stitched, but the leather is perfect.  The body has no rust, no dings, bubbling paint or cosmetic issues, and is as new.  The paint is amazing, shiny and looks better than when it came out of the show room.  I still get compliments and head turns on it at the grocery store.  The tires are Sumitomo HTR Z II's and have about 40% tread left.  The wheels are the very expensive upgraded Porshe turbo 18" wheels for this year and are beautiful, with color Porsche crests.

There are some minor electrical problems.  The passenger side tail light assembly is intermittent, comes on sometimes and not other.  The headlights open and work fine but the glass holding the H4 bulbs leaks moisture. They do not need replacement, just to be thoroughly dried out and then re-sealed.  The windshield has a crack on the passenger side and the car does run very rough on cold starts until it warms up, then it purrs like a kitten.  It fires up normally when warm.  My dealer tells me it is a temperature sensor that needs to be replaced.  But there are three sensors on the 928 and, since he doesn't know which it is and I live on SS, I do not want to pay the exhorbitant service charges from this Porsche dealer to track down the problem, so I put up with cold starting the car and waiting a few minutes for it to warm up.

The car has a computer built into the dash that warns you of all faults.  The computer works flawlessly but warns that the rear axle fluid needs to be changed (see pic).  This warning is based on time of service rather than any flaw in the axle fluid.  My dealer told me to ignore it.  The power windows, power sun roof, power trunk opener, 8-way power seats with memory and rear seat A/C work flawlessly.  The driver side power mirror and rear wiper need to be diagnosed as they do not work.

This has been and still is a nice car, and a head turner.  All service records will be included with the sale.  With a little patience, some seat reupholstering and minor electrical work, it will provide many more years of service.  The Carfax report is clear and clean.  I am including the Garmin 4.5" GPS and the original Porsche 2000 page dealer Shop Repair Manual on CD with the car.  I am 71 years old and simply don't have the patience to work on cars anymore.  But my laziness can profit you greatly in this purchase.  I can arrange shipping with a carrier that I trust and have used twice before, with perfect results (at your expense).  This is a “no reserve” auction.  I require a $500 deposit within 3 days of the auction closing and the balance at pickup, all in certified funds.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead

Wed, 13 Feb 2013


Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.

Porsche reportedly working on new turbocharged flat-four boxer engine?

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

These days, we've seen just about every automaker dropping cylinders in an effort to appease tightening fuel economy and emission standards - and Porsche is no exception. Nearly three years after introducing an all-new V6 powerplant under the front hood of its Panamera sedan (launched with a range of V8 engines) comes word that Porsche is working on an all-new turbocharged flat-four boxer to replace the flat-six engines mid-mounted in its Cayman and Boxster models.
Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six (shown above) found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm. Initial indications say that Porsche will only offer the new engine with its seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, tuned to take advantage of the low-end torque, but a traditional six-speed manual gearbox has not been ruled out. Despite the loss of two cylinders, enthusiasts will likely embrace the new engine as it promises to be lighter, more fuel efficient and more powerful than the 2.7-liter and 3.4-liter sixes in the Cayman/Boxster today.
Even though Porsche has been using Volkswagen Group engines for years (e.g., Cayenne V6, Cayenne Diesel and upcoming Macan), all indications are that the new flat-four will not be shared. Instead, it will be kept in-house for the automaker's sports cars and possible future fitment in an entry-level 911.

Porsche 911 to drop naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine

Thu, May 28 2015

Rumors that the next-generation Porsche 911 will be completely divorced from naturally aspirated engines are picking up steam. Now, Road & Track is reporting that not only will the next 911, code-named 992, have a turbo-only engine lineup, but that the base Carrera and Carrera S will add the force-induced flat sixes as part of a facelift later this year. R&T only cites "sources familiar with the project," which claim that turbocharged flat-sixes will be at the core of the 992's engine range, alongside a plug-in-hybrid model. A four-cylinder 911 remains unlikely. What's most surprising, though, is how soon Porsche will introduce a turbocharged base-car lineup. Road & Track claims the blown flat-sixes will be added as part of a facelift coming before year's end. Perhaps unwilling to risk the further ire of purists, the current car's seven-speed manual transmission will continue to be sold, alongside the company's excellent PDK automatic transmission. As for when this facelift will happen, the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show in September seems like the most obvious date.
