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.

Porsche busts out new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Baby 911. The poor man's Porsche. That's what they called the Boxster when it debuted some 20 years ago. They said the same of the first Cayman when it arrived a decade later, but they stopped saying it when the latest iterations hit the scene two years ago. That's because Zuffenhausen's entry-level models have long since stepped out of their big brother's shadow and into their own. And that's all the more true of the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe - representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
Those disappointed by the unavailability of a manual transmission in the fire-prone 911 GT3 will be pleased to note that a six-speed manual comes standard, but those enamored of letting a pair of clutches shift themselves seamlessly will want to spring for the optional seven-speed DCT. So equipped and with launch control engaged, the Boxster GTS will rocket from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds, while the incrementally lighter, more powerful Cayman will hit it in 4.6. Either way you're looking at a third of a second quicker than the Boxster/Cayman S. There's also a 20-millimeter lowered suspension on offer for track-day enthusiasts.

2015 24 Hours of Le Mans live race report

Sat, Jun 13 2015

Check back regularly for more race updates every few hours. No, you don't need to stay up for the entire 24 Hours of Le Mans, but if you want to catch any of the action, Autoblog friend Reilly Brennan has a handy guide. And to keep you up to speed on the latest race events, we'll be posting live from Le Mans with regular race reports.Hour 1: Five laps in, Audi breaks up the three Porsches at the front, with the #19 919 Hybrid, driven by Nico Hulkenburg, passed by all three R18s. Hulkenburg eventually took back fifth position only to fall back again after the first pit stop. Meanwhile, clutch trouble kept the #23 Nissan GTR-LM in the pits until 15 minutes into the race. The other two Nissans were forced to start at the back of the grid after failing to the meet the 110 percent qualifying speed regulation. At the end of the first hour, just 7.5 seconds separated the first six cars. Then the factory team #92 Porsche GTE car caught fire, with the the #13 Rebellion P1 car taking frontal damage in the ensuing carnage. With the safety car out, the field is once again bunched up.Hour 2: The slugfest between Audi and Porsche continues, with neither side backing off. Halfway through the second hour the #7 R18 passes both leading Porsches for the top position. After another round of pits stops Porsche regains the lead until lap 30, when the Audi overtake once again and quickly pulls out a three-second gap. Nico Hulkenburg passes the other two Audis to join his Porsche teammates. At the beginning of the third hour it's Audi #7, Porsche #17, #18, and #19, followed by Audi #8 and #9. 33 seconds separates this group, with Toyota a minute back from the front car.Hour 3: On track the action refuses to stop. Although it's early, Audi is looking strong with the overall lead in the #7. What's more is that the Audis run four stints per set of tires, while the Porsche cars have to change rubber every third stop. But after a quick refueling, the lead R18 gets a tire puncture and comes back in 3 laps later, allowing Porsche to take over the top two spots. Then as the hour closes out a yellow flag causes traffic to bunch up and the #8 Audi gets stuck with nowhere to slow down. Driver Loic Duval dives for the side of the road but hits the guard rail and careens across the track, damaging the front and rear bodywork. The rest of the car is still intact, though, and once in the pits Audi replaces the entire front and rear of that in only three minutes.

Volkswagen and Porsche recall Touareg and Cayenne

Thu, Mar 24 2016

The Basics: Volkswagen and Porsche will recall about 800,000 units worldwide of the 2011-2016 Touareg and Cayenne, according to Reuters. Of these, there are 88,300 Cayennes and 46,700 Touaregs in the US. The Problem: A securing clip on the brake pedal hinge could be missing. This can cause the pedal pivot pin to move, and "the pedal could lose guidance," according to Volkswagen's statement. Over time, the problem might cause the pedal hinge to fracture, which could make it impossible to activate the brakes. Injuries/Deaths: Porsche's statement says, "this is a purely precautionary measure, as there have been no reports of accidents or injuries as a result of this concern." Volkswagen's statement reports, "no incidents have occurred in the US to date. However, single events have been reported overseas." The Fix: Dealers will inspect the clip and reinstall it if necessary. If you own one: Porsche says it discovered the problem during internal inspections. Related Video: PORSCHE EXAMINES CAYENNE MODELS AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE Inspection of pedal hinge clip Atlanta, Georgia. Voluntary safety recall: Porsche is conducting an examination of 409,477 Cayenne models worldwide from model years 2011 to 2016 for a precautionary inspection, of which 88,300 are in the United States and 10,370 are in Canada. The reason for this is a clip may have become dislodged from the pedal bracket. We are implementing a voluntary recall to inspect all Cayenne vehicles built during that period to ensure the clip is present and to re-install it if necessary. The problem was identified during internal inspections and remedied in production. This is a purely precautionary measure, as there have been no reports of accidents or injuries as a result of this concern. ### Volkswagen Statement Volkswagen has notified NHTSA of an upcoming voluntary safety recall affecting approximately 46,700 Volkswagen Touareg vehicles from the 2011-2016 model years. In rare cases, a securing clip at the brake pedal hinge may be missing. If the clip is missing, the pedal pivot pin could start to move and the pedal could lose guidance. If this remains undiscovered, the pedal hinge could fracture after continued operation, allowing the pedal to dislodge. A customer may not be able to properly actuate the brakes with a dislodged brake pedal. A non-functional brake or reduced braking power could result in a crash. No incidents have occurred in the U.S. to date.
