Black 1984 Porsche 944, 2 Door Coupe, Gold Fuchs, 5 Speed, European Vin # on 2040-cars
Urbandale, Iowa, United States
This is NOT the correct vin # for this Porsche 944. I used the vin off of another old vehicle of mine because ebay would not allow this European vin. The CORRECT vin for the 944 that I am selling is WP0ZZZ94ZEN407643. This Porsche 944 is far from perfect. I bought this Porsche to fix it up, but don't have the time anymore so thought it would possibly be a great project car for somebody else. While owning the Porsche, I installed a new high torque starter, two new crank sensors, and a new relay switch. Everything that is wrong with this 944 is listed above and despite the long list, this 944 has a few good qualities. First off there are approximately only 75,200 actual miles. There are no dings, dents, or rust. Very solid straight body. Also very powerful and shifted smoothly when it ran. Top speed is 170 mph. One unique thing is that its a European edition. Tires are in good condition. The Porsche comes with four keys. One for the doors, hatch, and ignition. One key for the glove box. One key for the Porsche factory alarm which still works (key activated). One key for the special Porsche lug nut lock (one on each tire). Porsche does come with the original spare tire and jack. Also has a Blaupunkt cd player. I'm not the original owner and not quite sure of its history. This is a straight auction with no reserve, so enjoy! Contact me with any questions you may have.

Porsche Macan Turbo vs Cayman GTS in track battle
Fri, 19 Sep 2014"Well this is stupid." On the surface, that was our reaction to this video, as well. Why would you compare the hottest Porsche Cayman with a crossover of any kind, even if it is the 400-horsepower Macan Turbo?
We're guessing because it'd be bloody good fun, as evidenced Auto Express's latest track battle. To be fair, there is some interesting stuff here. The two do have a similar starting price, separated by less than $3,000 here in the US market. And, factoring in the Macan's hefty horsepower and torque advantages - 60 horsepower and 126 pound-feet - does make for a slightly interesting comparison.
We won't spoil the verdict, so check out the full video from Auto Express, and then let us know what you think in Comments.
Porsche again staring down another $1.8B in hedge fund lawsuits
Wed, 15 May 2013The sequence of events from 2007 that began with Porsche's secret attempt to take over Volkswagen, and instead lead to Porsche being taken over by VW, continues to instigate lawsuits against the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer. A group of hedge funds that suffered over $1 billion in losses sued the car company in New York. Porsche had publicly stated it wasn't trying to buy VW, the hedge funds in question were shorting VW stock, and when Porsche's actual intentions were revealed, the stock shot up and the hedge funds took a beating.
The case was thrown out over the issue of jurisdiction, then appealed, only to see another suit filed on top of that. After that, most of the hedge funds withdrew their claims in New York and Porsche offered a 90-day window to refile in Germany where it is already fighting a number of other suits over the same issue. The hedge funds accepted the offer, refiling in Stuttgart for $1.8 billion in damages. According to Bloomberg, Porsche hasn't commented on the refiling, but as the same plaintiffs are involved, it's safe to assume that the carmaker still feels the case is "unsubstantiated and without merit." It has fared alright so far even in German courts, with two lesser cases against it thrown out last year.
