1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet 2-door 3.0l - 33k Original Miles, Meticulous Owner on 2040-cars
Year:1990
Mileage:33005
Location:
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, United States
|
I am a private owner who has taken exceptional care of this vehicle from the moment that I purchased it ten years ago from the original Porsche dealer who sold it new.
This dealer was very familiar with the family who ordered it, they remembered the dealer trade that they made to acquire it, had recently reacquired it through a trade on a new Porsche, and then proceeded to print out the entire maintenance history before I agreed to purchase it. I have owned it ever since. This Alpine white on dark blue cabriolet has only 33,005
miles on the odometer from new and is all original. It has never been
hit, always garaged, never seen rain, and has only been serviced since new by
Porsche dealers (two). All records are available. This 944 drives as new and requires nothing mechanically. Those who are familiar with this rare model will know that there were less than 2000 exported to the U.S. and, I believe that they are ready to appreciate in value. Some of the the attached pictures were taken just before storage for the winter and others were taken earlier today. I took the car for a spin on the first nice day of spring, reluctantly turned it over 33,000 miles and returned it to my garage. I have driven it a grand total of 4,725 miles in ten years, and that includes driving it back from the dealership in Minnesota after purchase (1,056 miles). I am not a dealer and have never sold anything on Ebay previous to this. I am willing to provide every detail, warts and all. The fabric top is wearing out on both sides (see photo) but the electric mechanism operates perfectly. If I reconsider and decide to keep it, I will replace the top this year. The radio stopped working and the A/C is not blowing cold air. The passenger window mechanism works but has gotten clunky. There is a small chip in the windshield which is below the wiper line (was there before I owned it) and a tiny ding in the left rear quarter which can only be seen at the perfect angle. The belts were replaced at 26,880 miles and the tires have lots of tread but are not new. Oh, and one of the windshield washer sprayers seems to be clogged. Can't think of another thing. This 944 is inspected every year by Porsche mechanics at a Porsche dealer. I have all manuals, all the keys, tool kit, air pump, gloves and tire bag, custom car cover, original showroom brochure, and the original window sticker ($50,840 in 1990!). The last time, I had it in for an inspection, a guy followed me out of the dealership and asked, "If you ever want to sell it"...of course, I didn't at that time. I have seen several cars similar to this one advertised on the web by dealers over the years - not sure about all of those. I am sure about this one. Of course, it needs some little adjustments to restore to perfection, but you will not be disappointed. This is the second 944 cab that I have owned. I think the "chopped top" makes it one of the best looking convertibles with the top up that has ever been built. For fun, I included a picture of an ad for the 2009 Hershey PCA Swap Meet (no affiliation) which appeared in Excellence magazine which happened to randomly "highlight" my car (the 944 in the foreground). I live near Hershey, PA. The car looked good enough to photograph then and is unchanged today. Thank you for considering it for purchase. |

2014 Porsche Panamera Diesel is something to torque about
Tue, 10 Sep 2013Porsche has been in the business of slaying sacred cows for the better part of a decade, from venturing into the SUV space with the Cayenne to the four-door realm with its Panamera hatchback. And if those vehicles didn't leave brand purists apoplectic enough, Porsche has been adding diesel and hybrid power to its portfolio, thought to this point, neither alt-fuel motivator has made its way into the brand's sports car lineup.
Today's Frankfurt Motor Show effectively marks the second-generation of diesel power in the Panamera, and this updated 3.0-liter V6 features 300 horsepower (50 ponies more than last year) and a whopping 479 pound-feet of torque, available from 2,500 rpm. That power is achieved with a new higher-pressure, water-cooled turbo and redesigned engine internals that include a new crankshaft and pistons. The newfound increase is said to raise top speed to 161 miles per hour from 152, and drop the car's 0-62 mph time from 6.8 seconds down to 6.0. It also figures to be a better handler, with a new torque-vectoring rear differential borrowed from its gas-powered brethren and a reworked transmission for crisper shifts. The suspension has also been retuned, along with the updated 2014 visuals first revealed at April's Shanghai Motor Show.
No word yet on the North American sales prospects of this diesel Panamera, but we imagine that depends in part on how well the Cayenne diesel is selling.
