Good: Body is in great shape, Porsche red paint looks great! handles great, very solid body. Runs better now then when purchased, will glide last mile before highway exit. This car has not been driven 5,000 miles in last 10 years. 944 "tank" solid frame which is ironic because i think its strength is slalom type handling and Drift car body frame, very light 2000 pound area. the engine is very clean filled with new parts, Exempt mileage, 2.7 liter non-turbo 5 speed, New clutch summer 2011, Rebuilt engine a lot in 2004ish. New Faulken tires. Sunroof. Easier to fit in then 911, if you are tall. The 1989, 944 2.7 liter is better then earlier 80s engines in the 944. 944 models were Police Interceptor Cars, this car seems to run very well at a sustained 90 mph pace but is better at slalom type handling. Owned the car since 2004. Owners manual says run on 95 octane. Bad: window washer sprayer doesn't work but wipers work well, put in 2 or more thermostats, No A/C, may hold freon. Odometer says: 156,000 miles, from 2007-2014 no more than 700 miles in one of those years. In 2009, had head gasket repair and when I got it back from the shop the odometer wasn't working. Interior: you wouldn't buy this car for the interior, it's okay, 2 bucket seats with Porsche covers, minor flaws, hatchback works well. Lots of new cars seemed to have copied this design, Nissan 350ish, it's 70s vette like. Current minor repairs needed: Crank shaft censor $150, saw one on eBay last week $49.99. One hazard light bulb $5.00 That's it. You could see how long the AC holds freon? Window washer jets not working. Good chance once the crank shaft censor fixed you would not have a problem for years. Runs better now then when i bought it. Selling because I'm unemployed. If it was a 70s vette have to ask $11,000 but 89 Porsche for $9,900. I have put more money into then asking. You'll like it. Come by and drive it, if you want to buy. Ph# 407-760-5219 |

Porsche exec confirms Macan Diesel for US
Wed, 15 Oct 2014The idea of a diesel-powered Porsche is the sort of thing that sounds really, really weird... until you actually drive it. The result of sticking glow plugs under the hood of Stuttgart's finest, though, is a vehicle that's nearly as entertaining as a gas-powered model but with much more torque and better fuel economy. Considering that, we think it's absolutely splendid news that following previous reports, Porsche has now confirmed a diesel-powered Macan for the US market.
"We are now busy with the development and the engineering," Andre Oosthuizen, Porsche's North American marketing VP, told Automotive News. "I can confirm that V6 diesel offering with about 245 horsepower."
Yep, that's the same 3.0-liter V6 found, most notably, in the CUV's Audi Q5 platform-mate as well as a plethora of other Volkswagen Group vehicles, both in the US and abroad. Stuttgart already offers the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the Euro-spec crossover, where it churns out 258 hp and 427 pound-feet of torque.
The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
