I purchased this car on September 2013. The previous owner had the car in New Jersey since 2001. He purchased it used with 83,952 miles. The prior owner had it from new but I don’t have that history. It was purchased new in Massachusetts.

 

Both owners were enthusiasts and took very good care of the car. All the regular maintenance has been performed.

Mechanics

                    No known issues. The car runs good. Smooth idle, no smoke, no odd noises or clunks, no leaks. Good acceleration and performance. The car was maintained by Powertech in Rockaway, New Jersey where the timing belt and water pump were replaced in October of 2012.

 

Body

          The car has not suffered any severe damage. The previous owner said there were two minor accidents requiring body work. The repairs were done professionally and are not noticeable.

          In October 2013 I had the rear quarter windows and rubber seals replaced along with the windshield. The windshield was showing some slight pitting and the rear quarter windows had some spots that would not come off. The rear section from the door back were repainted along with the front and rear bumpers which had some dings.

The work was done by Sports Car Collision in Ferndale Michigan, one of the best body shops in the country. The paint match was spot on and the work looks great.

          The rest of the body and paint is in good shape for a 20 year old car. It’s not perfect. On a scale of 1-10 I’d give it a 7.

Hatch struts work fine. Front spoiler is not cracked or broken.

 

Interior

          No tears or cracks in any of the leather. Leather is still soft and looks great.

No cracks in the dash. There’s a screw hole in the side of the console where the PO mounted an early cell phone but it’s not too noticeable. The luggage cover is starting to fade but the elastic is still good.

The carpet is in good shape with no stains but it is starting to look old.

There’s one of those tube subwoofers and an amp mounted on the rear deck. It sounds good but takes up space. It has Pioneer speakers which all work fine.

All the interior lights work as they should. The new Clarion NX503 has rear camera capability but there is no camera.

 

I like this 93 GTS and would keep it but my expanding business leaves no room to keep it or time to enjoy driving it. I have a 1991 928 S4 that I plan to keep and tinker with.

 

I’ve tried to be upfront on the condition of the car but I’m sure they’ll be questions.

I can be contacted via email bob@classic9leathershop.com

 

The car is available for inspection in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. A Pre Purchase Inspection is welcome but you’ll have to make your own arrangements.

 

Serious inquiries only.  I am not interested in any trades, investments, or business opportunities

Porsche in Paul Walker fatal accident was traveling over 100 mph before crash

Fri, 03 Jan 2014

The Porsche Carrera GT involved in the November crash that killed Fast and Furious star Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas was traveling at speeds above 100 miles per hour before Rodas lost control for "unknown reasons," according to a report from the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office that has been acquired by The Hollywood Reporter.
Once control was lost, the Porsche spun, hit a curb and then impacted a tree and a light post, then it spun 180 degrees and hit another tree before erupting in flames, the report said. Neither Walker nor Rodas were under the influence of any drugs or alcohol at the time of the incident, according to toxicology reports conducted by the coroner.
As for the future of the Fast and Furious franchise, a separate by The Hollywood Reporter claims director James Wan, writer Chris Morgan and Universal Studios will move forward with the seventh installment in the franchise, which was only partially completed when Walker was killed.

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.

Despite premium carmakers going downmarket, luxury auto sales stick at 10-11%

Thu, 16 Jan 2014

According to research conducted by global information company IHS Automotive, the leporine birthing of new models by luxury manufacturers over the past six years hasn't increased their market share in the US. Even as car sales reached 15.6 million units, IHS says what's happened instead is that luxury buyers are merely moving from one brand to another, moving from larger luxury vehicles into hot segments like compact luxury crossovers or leaving the market at the same rate as other buyers enter.
Whether broken out by makes or by segment, market share has rollercoastered inside a narrow band from 10.5 to 11.5 percent since "at least" 2008. Closer investigation reveals the shifting boundaries in the aspirational pond, with brands like Mercedes-Benz and Audi gaining territory as Lexus and Lincoln lost it, and Saab and Hummer were buried, dead, under it. One neat note is that Tesla has gone from a share of zip to .12 percent.
The subcompact and compact crossover segments show growth, with those little high-riders jumping from .3 percent to 1.16 percent of overall industry sales. Their rise, though, is concomitant with the decline of four other segments: compact and midsize cars and fullsize cars and SUVs. We think the next few years that will tell if the small-car expansion can overcome the large-car retraction, with a phalanx of smaller offerings like the CLA only recently hitting the market and others like the GLA, Macan and Q1 doing so in the near future.
