This is a really nice 968 with 91,000k. 


What is good. 

This car is a two family car. Original owner was a doctor in California. He passed away and left the car to his daughter and she sold it to my father IN 2003. The car has always been stored inside a garage. The body is very nice. I would give it a 9 out of 10. The only problems are small chips of a 21 year old car. Pictures show chips. The interior is even better. The seats are black leather and could not be better for the age. I removed the original tape deck and installed a touch screen with navigation. I still have the original parts if you like it original. The engine runs perfect and is strong. This car is an automatic. The tires are 85%. This is a great 1992 Porsche 968! You will have a hard time finding a car 21 years old that is this nice. NADA guide says this car is worth $9200 - $17,300. Look it up. I think it is a 8 or 9 out of 10. I'm starting the bidding at $8,900 with a reserve at $9000. I'm only selling this Porsche because I have a 3 car storage space and I have 4 cars at the moment. I just bought a new toy. Someone is going to get a good deal on a nice car. $500 down within 24 hours the end of bidding. I will be happy to assist with shipping for an out of town buyer. Shipping or pick up is at the cost of the buyer.
 
What is bad. 

The car has small chips in the paint. I show chips in the pictures. There are only a few. The "Check Break Pads" light has been on for years even though the pads have been changed. Im not sure if the light is broken or if the light was not reset when fixed. The drivers side interior door has a small rip in the leather. Maybe one inch or less and has a glue patch. Its not getting worse. The biggest problem with the car in my opinion is that the drivers side seat, electric seat does not move back. The seats have 6 way controls and only the seat "back" doesn't work. This was never an issue for me because I was the only person who drove it and I never had to move it. I know the motor to move the seat back still works because its the same motor that move it forward and that works fine.Im sure its just the wiring but I haven't messed with it. That is really all I can think of. 

This has been a great car in the 10 years or so we have had it in our family. It would make a good Sunday car for cruising or an everyday driver.

Porsche 918 Spyder goes ice drifting in Finland

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Along with the Ferrari Laferrari and McLaren P1, the Porsche 918 Spyder is one of the trio of hybrid supercars potentially defining the path for these rarified vehicles going forward. When thinking about high-performance machines like this, the mind usually goes to precise driving around a circuit or maybe along a beautifully undulating road... not so much in the snow. Still, this group has more than enough power to make it through a little bit of powder, and the 918 proves that at the Porsche Driving Experience winter camp in Finland. Although, the set of studded snow tires certainly helps. Even with the trick all-wheel drive system in the Porsche combining a mid-mounted V8 and electric motors, this 918 has absolutely no problem lighting up the rear end in the snow and ice. Even at relatively low speeds, just a blip of the throttle is all it takes for the back tires to step out. However, the handling still looks quite controllable. It's hard to grin as this rare supercar does the Scandinavian Flick to set up a perfect drift between the snow banks.

Porsche confirms four-cylinder Boxster, Cayman replacement for US

Wed, May 20 2015

Those who've been anxiously awaiting the return of the four-cylinder Porsche will be glad to know that the wait is almost over. What's more, the quad-pot Porsches won't be kept away from US showrooms but will form an integral part of the company's North American strategy. Confirmation comes courtesy of Automotive News, which spoke to the company's chief executive Matthias Muller about its return to four-cylinder power. "First of all, we will have it in the Boxster and Cayman successor," Muller told AN. "And then we will see how it works and how successful it is and how the customers will react on that, and then we will take the next decisions." The model to which Muller refers is expected to be the 718 – a new line taking the place of the Boxster and Cayman, ostensibly allowing Zuffenhausen to start from scratch rather than "downsizing" the engine on existing models. The new range is anticipated to launch sometime in the middle of next year. Porsche is currently offering a 2.0-liter inline-four with 234 horsepower in the Macan (which we get with V6s) for certain markets overseas, but the 718 is expected to get a new flat-four 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements with output edging up to 395 horsepower. The last time Porsche offered a four-pot in the US was with the front-engined 968 that wrapped up production two decades ago, but it hasn't offered a boxer four since 1976.

Recharge Wrap-up: Tesla Model X towing drag race, Porsche 918 salvage auction

Wed, Mar 23 2016

Watch an Alfa Romeo 4C drag race against a Tesla Model X towing an Alfa Romeo 4C. The ridiculous (or, perhaps more appropriately, ludicrous) race appeared in MotorTrend's Instagram, which was then shared on Facebook by Tesla Motors Autopilot Program Director Sterling Anderson, along with the comment, "Fun fact: many high-performance cars cross the quarter mile line faster when towed by a Model X than they do on their own four wheels." While we can't quite see the actual results of the drag race in the video, it appears to be a close one. Check it out in the video above, and read more from Electrek. A Porsche 918 Spyder has gone up for auction. Unfortunately, it's a salvage auction, and said performance plug-in hybrid is totally mangled. The gut-wrenching photos reveal an even sadder detail, as the car's odometer shows it only logged 92 miles before being involved in what appears to have been a terrible wreck (though the listing describes the miles as "not actual"). The current bid on the Copart auction site is up to $106,000, and the listing shows a $600,000 repair estimate. The very expensive hunk of metal and carbon fiber is located in Long Island. Check out the listing for yourself, or read more at MotorAuthority. GKN Driveline says that German drivers are more interested in plug-in hybrids (especially with all-wheel drive) than conventional hybrid cars. In a poll of more than 1,000 drivers commissioned by GKN, 75 percent preferred PHEVs to standard hybrids, while 61.2 percent said that 50 kilometers (31 miles) of electric range is enough for their daily driving duties. About 81 percent are "wary of hybrids," most believing them to be a poor value. 52 percent said their ideal car would combine a plug and all-wheel drive. "We believe that plug-in hybrids with all-wheel drive make sense," says GKN Automotive President of Engineering Peter Moelgg, "and the public's positive response to vehicle programmes that offer this combination – like the Volvo XC90 T8 Twin Engine, BMW i8, and Porsche 918 Spyder – can only continue to grow." Read more in the press release below. NEW RESEARCH REVEALS GERMAN DRIVERS PREFER PLUG-IN HYBRIDS Lohmar, Germany, 22 March 2016: Drivers now consider plug-in hybrid vehicles to be more attractive and practical than conventional hybrids, a survey commissioned by GKN Driveline has revealed.
