I have had this car for a good 4 years and it breaks my heart to put it up for sale; however, I will be moving soon and will not be able to take it with me. I am the third owner and one look at this car will tell you that it has been well taken care of. In fact, if it did not look well taken care of, I would have not bought it from the previous owner. This care has always been garaged, never been driven in the snow, has not seen rain except when it started raining while I was already on the road (you know how the Ohio weather is). To give you an idea about how well this car is cared for - I have the original instruction tape for the Blaupunkt tape deck that the car came with. 

If you are looking to purchase this car, chances are you are an enthusiast and already know a lot of this vehicle, its history and its performance. A piece of history for sure it is. You can read more about it at the link below or the thousands of articles you will find online.

A little about this car:
  1. 2.5L N.A. 4 In-Line non-turbo
  2. Guards Red Paint
  3. Phone dial wheels
  4. Comes with a mini spare wheel which has never been used.
  5. The tires are Pirellis and they have less than 20K miles on them
  6. Power mostly everything - power sun-roof (removable), power windows, power side mirrors, power drivers seat, power steering
  7. Cruise control
  8. Nifty mileage gauge that tells you what mileage you are getting
  9. Gear change indicator
  10. Original tape deck with original instruction cassette
  11. Comes with original tool kit
  12. Mostly original items other than the usual wear items like, tires, wipers, etc.

While this car is in exceptional shape for its age, it is not perfect. One issue I know is that while the fuel gauge works, it does not move through the whole range of the gas tank. In other words, the needle will point as high as it can when the tank is full but will go only to about half when it is empty. The good news however is that the gas low indicator light does come on in a timely manner and so I am thinking/guessing that its a matter of calibrating the needle. 

The other issue - not really and issue - is that the pad wear indicator light is on. I have the brake pads and just haven't had the chance to do the work myself or take it to the shop. I will be happy to include both the front and rear pads and pad wear indicators when selling the car.

I am attaching the copies of the receipts of the most recently done work to the car. This includes the timing belt, engine pad, water pump. You can look at the rest in the receipts.

Some commonly asked question:
  1. Are there cracks on the dash - No
  2. Is the center console intact - Yes it is. It has the separators for the tape as well.
  3. Do you have the original window sticker - No I do not.
  4. Do you have the original manuals with the dealer stamp in it - Yes I do.
  5. Is the black lining along the rear hatch intact - Yes. I do not see any cracking or peeling
  6. Is the sound and insulation over the engine in good condition - Yes. I see some fraying but this is expected for a car this age
  7. Are there any scratches and dents - There is some pitting in the front but only if you look close. I could not capture them in pictures. There is a slight dime size depression on the roof and above the wheel on the rear driver side. Its hard to capture these using the camera and you have to look closely for them. There is a scratch on the paint above the rear driver side wheel which I think can be filled in.

I will try my best to answer any additional questions you have. I am selling the car as-is and welcome you to see the vehicle in person or have it inspected.

I have two requests - please only bid and ask questions if you are serious. I am more than willing to help you with all your questions but please ask those if you are serious as I am busy with moving. The other request is please do not bid over the reserve and then retract the bid to find the reserve.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).

Porsche planning customer driving center at Le Mans

Fri, 29 Nov 2013

Porsche seems to be on a campaign to build driving centers for its customers to allow them to experience the capabilities of their cars on track. It has one under way in Los Angeles, another in development at its North American headquarters in Atlanta, and a British center set up at the Silverstone circuit. Now the latest reports indicate that Porsche is planning yet another driving center at Le Mans.
The new facility is earmarked to be built at the Circuit de la Sarthe right by the start/finish line, incorporating the Porsche Curves that bridge the Arnage corner and the Ford Chicanes on the West side of the famous track.
Porsche is reportedly still seeking approval from the Automobile Club de l'Ouest that manages the circuit, and once given the green light, would still take some time to complete. But the idea of driving a 911 flat out on the legendary track is likely to make more than a few mouths water, particularly as the German automaker prepares its full-on assault of the famous endurance race next year.

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo.
