1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet. Black, Black, Black. 57k mi. With option 220, LSD. Incredible and rare car with some rare and desirable options.
Background: I am a collector of 968's. I've had 14 over the years. This was my first and the one that got me hooked. This is also the best one I've ever seen in person tho' I've certainly seen some nice ones on the internet. I've owned 33 Porsches and 14 968's. This is my second favorite car of all time. (57 black Speedster) from among Speedsters, 356 SC's, 914-6 s, 911SC's, Turbos, 951's, 75 Carreras. I've owned it for 8 years and must sell it for several reasons. This is a PCA car. BTW, I've sold 14 Porsches and 10 968's on eBay and can provide some references from these transactions. I am not a dealer and I do not buy and sell cars for profit. Reason for sale: I am retired and fixed income. I have two others and I am simply paranoid about driving this one because it is so perfect. One or two of the three have to go and I would rather someone else enjoy a car that is so perfect that I constantly worry about it. Exterior Cosmetics: All 100% original factory paint, no body repairs, no rash, no scrapes, scratches, dents, dings, fades or flaws anywhere (Exception: for see photos where I point at 3 tiny items.) The paint gets comments every place this car goes. Seriously, the paint on this car is shockingly perfect. I've been called out on my description because the photos of the wheels clearly show flaws (curb rash) so let me deal with that separately. I stand by my statement about the car with the exception of the wheels. These are not original to the car. They were hurredly purchased to return the car to stock for a deal that fell through. Convertible top: Black top and rear window original but excellent. Top mechanism works perfectly, locks in place perfectly and is leak free. Interior Cosmetics: Black leather sport seat interior is perfect and has never had Armorall or any other protectant or restorer used ever. Interior has only been cleaned with natural hide foods and leather conditioners. There is not even a hint of a dash crack. The car has always been kept covered in the sun. I had a quick on, quick off cover for the interior and a windshield screen that I always used to prevent sun damage. See photo for bolster condition. :) Mechanical and Accessories: None of the usual 968 bugs. Timing belt and water pump fine. Brakes and 6 speed transmission fine. Mobile1 conversion 5 years ago. Service records binder goes with the car. Recent oil change and tech inspection. Everything on this car works. Every single light, cruise control, dash funtions, etc. No surprises. My maintenance motto is deal with honest people and do expensive preventive rather than life altering repairs. Wheels and Tires: I recently returned the wheels to original 16's as I had a buyer who wanted original so I removed the aftermarkets. However, at the point of delivery his unhappy wife entered and nixed the deal. (He had it coming, but I lost the sale.) Rear tires have less than a documented 400 miles on them. Front tires less than 2000. I had to put fresh rubber on in order to do the wheel swap. The wheels can be restored for about $400 or you can upgrade to 17"s or 18"s. Music: Sony 10 CD changer and AM/FM. Photos: I've displayed the maximum amount of photos the listing will allow. Please note the photos showing the underside of the engine and trunk lids, the fuel filler compartment, engine compartment and the trunk ledge and rubber. These photos are meant to display how immaculate this car is throughout. The entire car is like that. Note driver side seat bolster. Pointing fingers are the only two paint flaws on the entire car. There is no road rash anywhere on this vehicle. No lower or front bumper and no hood rash whatsoever. Only the items I've pointed at. Summary and Bold Statement: This car has no issues and is PCA Manhattan trophy capable with preparation. All questions welcomed. Please do not bid of you have fewer than 10 completed eBay transactions or less than a 95% rating. |

Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023
Mon, Sep 12 2022Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in. But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below. Best Subcompact Luxury SUV  |  Best Compact Luxury SUV  |  Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row) Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.   Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
Well hello, Carice, you Porsche-aping EV cutie
Wed, Jul 9 2014Ah, the joy that comes open-air motoring with the in your hair and the roar of the exhaust behind you. Well, maybe not as much anymore. In recent years, vehicles like the Tesla Roadster have made the concept of the electric sports car palatable. Now, Dutch automaker Carice is following suit with a classically inspired EV speedster called the MK1. The MK1 clearly wears its design inspiration on its sleeve. It would be difficult to look at this styling and not immediately see a Porsche 356 Speedster; It has the same upside-down bathtub shape with big round headlights and likely the tiniest taillights on a production car in years. The Carice is also clearly meant for fair weather motoring because there's no top, just a tonneau cover to protect the interior from the rain while it's sitting. One thing that the Dutch company is definitely getting right is the weight. It claims that the MK1 weighs a dainty 772 pounds, including the battery pack. The low weight doesn't mean the MK1 is going to be lighting quick, though. It's being offered with a choice of three electric motors with 5 horsepower (for 16-year-old drivers in the Netherlands), 20 hp or 53 hp, and there are two sizes of battery pack. Buyers can also opt for a range-extending internal combustion engine. The 53-hp motor allows for a top speed of 62 miles per hour and a 124-mile range with the larger battery. Carice says its also willing to fit larger batteries or more power motors, at the buyer's expense, of course. Carice plans to build an initial production run of 10 cars with prices starting at 22,000 euros, before Dutch taxes (about $30,000). The company hasn't released a press release about the MK1, but you can learn more about speedster on its website; it's in Dutch, though.
