Up for auction is a very nice 1987 Porsche 944. I recently purchased this car from an individual who aspired to bring this car up to a pristine level and show it. Declining health convinced him that it would likely never happen. This car is nice but not a 10. I have driven it around lately and have had no issues with it. The car runs great, has super cold air, and handles like a dream. I do not know everything about this car other than what the gentleman told me during the purchase. The only issues I have personally noticed are: I can't get the clock or the cigarette lighter to work. May be a fuse. The seats have covers over them because they are splitting around the seams. This has to be common for this car because of the stiff leather, and it is 26 years old. I do not see any leaks under the car but there is a little oil around the motor but nothing major. I have not cleaned it but it doesn't lose any oil and looks clean. The weatherstripping around the car, namely the rear hatch, could be replaced. I did not notice any water leaks in the cabin during rain. This car has been repainted before and although it doesn't look all that bad, I would have personally not been pleased if I paid for it. The paint looks ok but the detail around some areas could have been masked (taped) a little better so there is less evidence it had been repainted. The owner said that the vehicle had never been in a serious collision and the repainted was from minor stuff and fading. There are a few small rust spots but nothing Significant. The largest example is right near the driver window and it is less than the size of a dime. The tires look ok and the radio works. This is a nice car for someone who wants a base to begin sprucing up, a nice daily driver, or for someone who has always wanted to own a Porsche. Believe me, it never gets old having people say "you drive a Porsche?" Cheesy, but true. I have the maintenance book for this car that has all service records dating back over the last 10 years. This car is being sold as is and has a lot of potential so good luck!

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.
Chevy Corvette Stingray defeating rivals where it matters most
Wed, 16 Jul 2014Everything is coming up roses for the award-winning Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, as new data from the North American Dealers Association dissected by GM Authority reveals that America's sports car is handily outselling two of its more expensive rivals.
Through June of 2014, the NADA notes that the Corvette has rung up 17,744 sales, handily besting the Porsche 911 and positively spanking the SRT Viper. Of course, you're sitting there thinking, "Corvette is outselling the much more expensive Porsche and Viper. Sky blue, water wet." But what's impressive here is just how thoroughly the Chevrolet is beating its two rivals, with this data serving as a testament to just how popular the seventh-generation sports car has become.
So far this year, Porsche has managed to move 5,169 911s, according to NADA. Considering that the base model starts at nearly $15,000 more than the most heavily optioned Stingray, and that Porsche owners have a vast, expensive options catalogue to select from, Stuttgart's sales are still plenty impressive in relation to the nearly 18,000 Corvettes sold.
Seinfeld takes Seth Meyers out in the perfect Porsche
Sat, 13 Jul 2013The latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live fame riding shotgun in what is a very special Porsche from host Jerry Seinfeld's collection: a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Seinfeld chose the "no-nonsense" sports car because he thought it fit his guest's personality (Meyers thinks motorcycles "are like the cigarette of transportation"), but we enjoy the chance to see one of these rare, über-valuable Porsches being driven on city streets - and in the rain, no less! What we don't like seeing is the Carrera RS being parallel parked behind a pick-up truck, though, fortunately, it seems that Seinfeld was able to avoid any front-end damage to the comparatively fragile Porsche.
Once at the coffee shop, the two comedians have a candid conversation about Meyers' time with SNL, from his early days on the show when he didn't think he was good enough to be a cast member to some of the high points in his career, such as SNL's "Really!?" segment that he performed in and how he became a writer for the show.
After coffee, when they're back in the car and Seinfeld opens up the throttle of the lightweight RS 2.7, he manages to eke out a big grin from Meyers - or maybe it was a grimace at the thought of driving in the rain on old tires. Whatever the case, be sure to watch the video below (and stay tuned until the end for a surprise).
