1999 Porsche Carrera (911) Tiptronic (auto) on 2040-cars
Austin, Texas, United States
|
This is a US version 1999 Porsche Carrera (911) (VIN: WP0AA2996XS620638) with auto transmission (Tiptronic). This is a very clean, rust free, original and lower than average mile Carrera. I bought this car for my wife as a ‘weekend car’ and it had about 86,000 miles on it back in 2011. The car performs superbly, the cornering, the acceleration, the handling, brakes etc – it is a true Porsche. While it is a really fun car to drive, practically speaking, my wife does not have the time to drive (with work, kids stuff etc.) at all. The last year, she drove it maybe a half a dozen times. The car now has 88,100 miles on it. We are now wanting to trade her primary car and is selling this car to partially pay for it. Though we hate to part with the car, we also now need the garage space. Let me describe the car a bit. My wife and I bought the car from Tennessee (we live in Texas). The prior owner also was using the car as a fun weekend car and used it sparingly. The car has been garage kept most of its time. I believe we are the third owners with the original first owner being in Florida. This car is in original condition and state except for the wheels and radio. The prior owner had upgraded the wheels to a 18” rim size with very low profile tires (making the car ride height very nice. The radio is an Alpine. The paint work is in very good condition. There appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender, at the same time, the car finish is very nice. The interior is as nice as can be. No rips, no stains, not really even much wear on the driver seat and the driver side carpet. All the little lights work, all the handles are there, the dash and gauges are clean as can be. The door panels great etc. The headliner is in nice shape. The dash does not have any cracks. The body is very solid and rust-free, straight and clean and shows no signs of any kind of previous body work. The color is Red, with beige interior. The bumpers are straight and clean, the light lenses are clean etc. The car runs great, we have had the oil changed, new battery, new tires, wheel alignment/balance. The AC blows cold air. The transmission shifts very smoothly, with the ability to manually downshift. While the car is in good condition, running very good, a few minor items needing attention are; driver sunvisor bracket cover is loose, a few small chips on front bumper, and there appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender. Other than this, we are not aware of any issues, at the same time, we are selling this car ‘as-is’ with no written or implied warranties. This Porsche Carrera is the replacement for the older and iconic 911 series and you will not be disappointed at the original condition of this car. It is a blast to drive, and built solid. It took my wife and I a while to find this car and now we are quite sad to sell it, however, have to as we do not use it much and we need the garage space. It has a clear title and I will provide the manuals and all that came with the car. Feel free to ask as many questions as you have. If you need the car checked out, please feel free to send your mechanic over to see the car first before you bid. Buyer will have to pay for the transport. I can help arrange reasonable shipping about anywhere. I am not familiar with overseas shipping, so please enquire first. Full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end. I am a long time ebayer and have a very good rating/score. I am setting a very reasonable reserve on the car and happy bidding. Please note that we must be able to close transaction in 7 days. Thanks for looking (and reading) and let me know if you have any questions at all. |

The mid-engine Porsche backstory
Thu, 09 Oct 2014As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.

Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.
Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.
