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.

What do J.D. Power's quality ratings really measure?

Wed, Jun 24 2015

Check these recently released J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) results. Do they raise any questions in your mind? Premium sports-car maker Porsche sits in first place for the third straight year, so are Porsches really the best-built cars in the U.S. market? Korean brands Kia and Hyundai are second and fourth, so are Korean vehicles suddenly better than their US, European, and Japanese competitors? Are workaday Chevrolets (seventh place) better than premium Buicks (11th), and Buicks better than luxury Cadillacs (21st), even though all are assembled in General Motors plants with the same processes and many shared parts? Are Japanese Acuras (26th) worse than German Volkswagens (24th)? And is "quality" really what it used to be (and what most perceive it to be), a measure of build excellence? Or has it evolved into much more a measure of likeability and ease of use? To properly analyze these widely watched results, we must first understand what IQS actually studies, and what the numerical scores really mean. First, as its name indicates, it's all about "initial" quality, measured by problems reported by new-vehicle owners in their first 90 days of ownership. If something breaks or falls off four months in, it doesn't count here. Second, the scores are problems per 100 vehicles, or PP100. So Power's 2015 IQS industry average of 112 PP100 translates to just 1.12 reported problems per vehicle. Third, no attempt is made to differentiate BIG problems from minor ones. Thus a transmission or engine failure counts the same as a squeaky glove box door, tricky phone pairing, inconsistent voice recognition, or anything else that annoys the owner. Traditionally, a high-quality vehicle is one that is well-bolted together. It doesn't leak, squeak, rattle, shed parts, show gaps between panels, or break down and leave you stranded. By this standard, there are very few poor-quality new vehicles in today's U.S. market. But what "quality" should not mean, is subjective likeability: ease of operation of the radio, climate controls, or seat adjusters, phone pairing, music downloading, sizes of touch pads on an infotainment screen, quickness of system response, or accuracy of voice-recognition. These are ergonomic "human factors" issues, not "quality" problems. Yet these kinds of pleasability issues are now dominating today's JDP "quality" ratings.

Porsche would have entered F1 if Audi had blocked its Le Mans program

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

Go back a few years and you may have heard rumors of Porsche heading into Formula One. That never came to pass - or at least, it hasn't yet - but that doesn't mean that it wasn't close to happening. That's how committed to returning to top-level motorsport competition Porsche has become recently.
Autosport reports that just as Porsche was merging fully into the Volkswagen Group, Zuffenhausen was weighing its options for a factory racing program. Le Mans was its favorite, which makes sense, as it remains far and away the most successful constructor in the history of the famous endurance race. But the strategists at Porsche were worried that its new corporate overlords at Volkswagen wouldn't support two LMP1 programs and would favor Audi, which has positively dominated the modern era of endurance racing, coming second only to Porsche in the number of Le Mans victories it has scored to date.
Porsche's Plan B was reportedly to head into Formula One, although it isn't clear if the German automaker was intent on starting its own team, buying an existing one or merely providing engines to other teams. Porsche fielded its own cars in F1 in the late 1950s and early 60s, and returned as an engine supplier with TAG to power McLaren in the 1980s, powering Niki Lauda and Alain Prost to the World Championship in 1984 and 1985.

Porsche Australia racing chief dies in crash

Wed, Dec 10 2014

The motor racing community in Australia was saddened today to learn of the passing of Jamey Blaikie, a longtime racing administrator and former motorsport director for Porsche in Australia. A former racing driver in his own right, Blaikie was better known for his instrumental role in starting the Porsche Carrera Cup in Australia back in 2003. He left Porsche Cars Australia just last year to pursue other interests, including running an Aston Martin entry in the GT Asia series. Blaikie was in Fiji reportedly undertaking charity work there when his rental car collided with a truck, prematurely ending his life at just 52 years old. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and the motorsport community Down Under, where he'll surely be missed.
