This vehicle is in great overall condition.  I am active duty military and during the past year I was deployed to Afghanistan.  For that reason, the car was sitting in storage and required a lot of work to get it back into top mechanical condition.  The work was done by the best European auto specialist in El Paso, and it now runs, drives, and handles like a true sports car.  Included is a photo of the invoice that lists everything that was replaced which totaled $2850.  I also had the whole exterior re-painted and polished in its original, gorgeous pearl-white color (another $1300), so there is not one dent or scratch on the exterior of the vehicle.  The only parts of the body that were not painted were the inner door jams, so you will see marks and scratches on them when the doors are open.  The wheels were re-painted as well to make them look great and really stand out against the pearl white body.  The A/C blows really cold, and the windshield wipers were just replaced.  New tires were put on a couple years ago, but due to the car being in storage, they have less than 500 miles worth of use. I also got started on a custom black and white interior a couple years ago to make the inside match the outside of the vehicle.  As you can see from the photos, the seats, door panels, and some pieces on the center console were re-covered and the roll bars and gear shift knob were painted.  I intended to use the money I saved from my deployment to make this a car-show quality vehicle, but unfortunately some personal and financial circumstances have just come up and I cannot afford to finish or keep the car.  With that being said, there are still quite a few blemishes on the interior.  The carpet on the floor of the driver side is a little worn and starting to come apart by the fuse box (shown in photo).  I purchased some $130 custom-made floor mats to cover the wear and make the floors look great.  You can see a bit of wear from rubbing against the roll bar and a scratch on the back of the passenger seat.  Also a small blue mark in the white part of the driver seat.  The center console shows some wear and tear around the ash tray and the hand-brake lever has a crack and also shows some wear.  The steering wheel has been re-wrapped, but you can still see a little bit of wear and pitting.  There is a very small blemish in the white leather on the driver-side door handle.  The passenger seat is missing a plastic cover plate, but is really only noticeable if the passenger door is open.  The convertible-top window is a bit cloudy.  You can see when you look out the back, but the images will appear somewhat blurry (photo is provided so you can get an idea of how cloudy it is).  There is a scratch in the tint on the passenger door window (cannot be seen in photos). The convertible top operates just fine, but the light on the dash stays on when the top is closed.  Once you put the top down, the light goes off.  Also the air bag warning light stays on. Finally, the horn and alarm are not working.  I tried replacing the fuse, but they still didn't work.  Those are all the faults that I am aware of.  It sounds like a lot of faults, but they are mostly small, cosmetic blemishes and all in the interior.  I just want to make sure that I am disclosing every flaw to the best of my knowledge, and I have tried to include good pics of all blemishes that would show up well in photos.  The Experian report shows a clean vehicle history with no past problems.  The mileage is a little higher than a lot of other Boxsters, but is still pretty good for a vehicle of this age.  I paid off the bank loan last month and have the clear Texas title in my possession.  It just passed the Texas state emissions inspection as well. Included with the purchase of the car, are the books you see in the photo and the custom Euro-style license plate with mounting frame.  If you would like, I can also throw in a brake calipers paint kit.  I purchased the kit, but never actually got around to painting the calipers. The paint is white and it includes a set of black Porsche logo stickers.  There is no reserve, but I am starting the bidding at the lowest price that I can accept.  Over the past two months, I have put thousands into paying off and fixing up this car, but as mentioned earlier, I am now forced to sell it as is.  It's very close to being 100% complete and car show ready.  If you purchase this vehicle, you would be helping a veteran out greatly.  I prefer that payment be made by bank wire transfer from a US financial institution, but I will also accept a cashier's check from a US financial institution.  Payment must be received within seven days of the auction's close.  If you do the bank wire, I will cover the cost of the transfer by reducing the final sale price by $25.  Pick up or shipping needs to be arranged by the buyer.  I will answer any of your questions to the best of my ability and as quickly as possible.  Thank you for viewing.

2015 Porsche Macan S

Thu, 31 Jul 2014

I'd be willing to bet that 99 percent of all Porsche Macan owners will never take their vehicle on a track or see any more off-roading than a dirt path to a summer cottage, yet I maintain that there is no better venue to explore the absolute outer limits of the automaker's newest small family transport than on a racing circuit and an off-road course. It's testing at each extreme of the vehicle's operating envelope, with both challenges requiring very different capabilities. With that in mind, and looking forward to dirty floor mats and corded tires, I jumped at the opportunity from Porsche to wring out its new Macan S at Willow Springs International Raceway, located in Southern California's high desert.
The range-topping Macan Turbo (base price $72,300 plus $995 destination), with its 400 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V6 gets most of the glory these days. But many, including myself, would argue that its slightly less powerful sibling, the Macan S, is actually the pick of the new litter. Despite having 60 fewer horses under the hood and giving up six-tenths of a second in the sprint to 60 miles per hour, it costs a massive $22,400 less - money better spent on equipment that improves the crossover's ride comfort and capability, or perhaps a well-used Boxster for weekends.
Despite a reasonably attractive starting price of $49,900 (plus destination), very few Porsche buyers will leave the showroom with a base model. My Dark Blue Metallic Macan S tester was equipped with a slew of mechanical upgrades, including air suspension with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), Sport Chrono Package and 21-inch 911 Turbo Design wheels. A Premium Package and a few other miscellaneous options bloated its price to $69,870. That's a very steep price for the premium compact crossover segment, but it's still less than a base Macan Turbo.

eBay Find of the Day: 1981 Porsche 928 convertible by Carelli

Wed, 30 Apr 2014

The Porsche 928 was perhaps the consummate European GT of its day. With a powerful front-mounted V8 engine that grew in displacement as the model years went on, it was capable of eating up the miles at triple-digit speeds in great comfort for occupants. It was also an unusual beauty, with its sharp front and curved rear featuring innovative integrated bumpers.
Currently for auction on eBay Motors is one of the rarest 928s you're likely to find, in a handsome combination of Guards Red paint and tan leather interior, though we wouldn't mind a less-showy finish to the factory wheels. According to the seller, this car is one of eight 928 convertibles by Carelli Design, a firm that's still in business.
The auction claims that these cars were made in 1981 as a feasibility study between Carelli and Porsche for a possible production 928 convertible. The seller says he worked at the dealership where the car is said to have been originally sold $103,000. To remove the roof and hide the convertible top, there were significant changes made to the body and interior, including redesigned doors and a completely new trunk. As you can see in the gallery, when down, the top is completely hidden in a very factory-like fashion. When up, it looks slightly awkward, though (and we'd really like to see a rear three-quarter view to check out the blind spots).

Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed in patent photos

Fri, 01 Aug 2014

Porsche has been taking its time developing the most hardcore 911 models for the latest 991 chassis. While the GT3 has been on the market for a little while, it suffered from some teething issues. The 911 GT3 RS is certainly on the radar since being spotted testing, but it's always better to get a look at a new car without all of the camo to hide the coolest parts. Thankfully, Car in the UK has some patent photos of the RS ahead of its debut, and they show off one mean-looking 911.
The first thing that you notice about the RS is that Porsche clearly isn't afraid to rework the latest 911's shape for its track-focused version. Each piece is slightly resculpted to squeeze the most out of it. Up front, the air dam has the same shape to the earlier photos. They also both highlight the upcoming model's tiny air inlet at the tip of the hood, the massive intakes in the rear fenders and general design of the rear wing with a ducktail underneath. The bubbled roof is much clearer here, where it was disguised in spy shots. You can also spot the slashing fender gills behind the front wheels that are a completely new feature.
The GT3 RS is the ultimate naturally aspirated 911 for the street, but according to Car, Porsche aims to take that even farther with the latest model. If these are the looks, then it's working. Unfortunately, the new version's powerplant remains a mystery. Though, given all the changes to the bodywork, the engine is almost surely getting tweaked over the 475-horsepower GT3. The RS is rumored to hit the road and be screaming down the track in 2015.
