1989 Porsche 944 S2 Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Sarasota, Florida, United States
|
This 1989 Porsche 944 S2 is being offered for sale, the best thing about this particular car, is it's originality, very unmolested, never raced, just driven properly. The only items that have been upgraded are the wheels and the exhaust; wheels are off a 1995 Carrera 911 (authentic Porsche Cup 3), exhaust is a high flow 3" full stainless steel, with stainless muffler and tip. The condition of the entire car is impressive, considering it's 25 years old, the Porsche quality is clearly visible, everything works, power windows, side view mirrors, pop-up roof, rear hatch, seats, etc.. Features one year old Cooper Zeon RS3-S tires, condition, new alternator, new battery, new brake pads all four corners (MINTEX), overall this car is a true time capsule, not many available so well maintained as this example.
Powered by the legendary 4 cylinder, 3.0L engine, naturally aspirated, rated at 208 H.P., very reliable, with 5 speed manual transmission, factory BREMBO 4 piston calipers. The previous owner had the timing belt, rails, water pump, seals, valve cover gasket, and all belts replaced in September 2012, this is a very critical service, which many 944's are neglected. The following items are what eventually will need service: - Clutch: it's the original unit, therefore, with over 85,000+ miles, it's starting to show little signs of slipping, specially under hard acceleration, between 1st and 2nd gear. - Front sway bar bushings: this is a super easy fix, I just haven't had the time to get to it, bushings are about $25.00/set, labor is less than one hour, weekend garage project. - Interior courtesy lights: they worked fine when I purchased the car, and about 8 months ago, they quit working, I think is a ground connection, since all bulbs and fuses have been checked, and all are fine. This car is always a center of conversation, everywhere I go, I get complements, the color combination with Alpine White exterior, Dark Blue interior, is timeless, will never be dated, updated with the 17 in. Cup 3 wheels, staggered, a very cool car indeed. I purchased this car for my wife and I to drive occasionally on weekends, and we have enjoyed very much, we had it for a little over a year, but now decided to buy a convertible. Good luck, and thank you for bidding. |

China may surpass US as Porsche's largest market this year thanks to Cayenne
Thu, 09 Oct 2014China has already surpassed the United States as the world's largest automotive market, so it's no surprise that one day soon it will be the world's largest Porsche market.
In fact, that day may already be here, as the PRC's Porschephiles outbought their American counterparts in September. Porsche's Chinese dealers sold 4,344 cars last month to America's 3,607. Through all of 2014 so far, though, the US is still the larger market for the German brand.
"The U.S. performed very well this year, after a great year in 2013, but China is growing fast, thanks to the Cayenne which is our best seller there," Porsche's sales and marketing boss, Bernhard Maier, told Automotive News Europe.
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).
Amelia Island 2013: Porsche 911 swarms the field marking 50 years of rear-engine goodness
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Perhaps one of the most iconic sports cars in the world, it was no surprise that the Porsche 911 showed up in numbers to the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. Although the original 911 launched 50 years ago, the original and current models are instantly recognizable as 911s, and since the 911 has a storied racing background, there were probably just as many racing versions of the coupe as there were street-legal versions.
As the show's 2013 honoree, one of the prime racing examples was a 1970 Porsche 911 S raced by Sam Posey. There were so many cars in attendance, we didn't know where to look, but a 1985 911 Speedster concept and a Porsche-owned, rally-ready 911 Type 953 were definitely among the more impressive standouts. As an added bonus, Jacksonville-based Brumos Porsche had many of its classic racecars on display including a beautiful 959.
