1987 Porsche 924S
Bought new In Dallas in 1987 and has been a Texas car from Day 1... Short history: Was a 1 owner from new until about 2009...Then it was sold to a local gentleman who parked it. I bough the car from him a few months ago. The "Poor man's Porsche"...The 924S, with the same 2.5L engine as the 944! I don't know how many people have asked me if I "Autocross" in my Porsche...From my reserach the 924S is highly sought out for autocross racing, it's handling and gearing is legend for that type of competition. GOOD: FU FU FUN TO DRIVE! ALL ORIGINAL, the only custom touches are the K&N filter and the speaker covers. Original "Phone dial" wheels! Handles like a dream...shifts sweet through all 5 gears and keeps climbing. Driving the 924 is great...the 924S is super great. 80s icon. I've been driving the car regularly for about 3 months now and have had no problems and have been amazed by the handling and mileage of this 87 model! BAD: The rear hatch seal is old and has some spots where water will leak. Motor mounts are the original ones and will need replacing soon. The rear hatch vinyl cover, that covers belonging in the rear hatch area, is inoperable...It operates much like a window blind. I have the shade/cover, it is just not installed now. The tires has a bit of weather cracking. There are the normal amount of rock chip spots on the front for an '87 model...easily covered up. Since I bought the car, I've: Replaced rear brakes. Flushed and replaced brake fluid. Charged AC compressor. Had timing belt checked and adjusted (passed) Had wear torn front 2 seats repaired with new vinyl/foam/stictching. Replaced front 2 speakers (have rear 2 speakers but they are not installed yet...they come with the car) Replaced shocks/hinges on hatch. Replaced shock/hinges on hood. Replaced all exterior lightbulbs. Had interior carpet/seats/dash detailed. Still have plans to install the rear speakers and tint the windows. The car is listed locally and I may end this auction if it sells. |

Porsche offers detuned Boxster and Cayman 211 in Europe
Mon, 15 Sep 2014Looking at a new Porsche Boxster? First of all, we commend you on your choice, because in its latest iteration, the Boxster has sped out from under the shadow of the 911 and into its own. But now to choose: do you get the base model with 265 horsepower, the Boxster S with 315 hp, or the top-of-the-line Boxster GTS with 330 hp? It's a daunting question, considering the $10k+ price gap between each model that you could put into the gas-and-rubber jar. Same goes for the Cayman, albeit with ten more horses across the board. But as if that's not confusing enough, there appears to be another player on the field. (That is, at least, in certain European markets.)
Appearing on the company's Belgian and Norwegian sites are the Boxster 211 and Cayman 211. As you might have guessed, they pack a less substantial 211 horsepower, undercutting what we know as the base models. Instead of using a smaller engine, though, the Boxster and Cayman 211 get the same 2.7-liter boxer six, just with less power.
As a result, they're a bit slower off the line: the Boxster 211 takes between 6.1 and 6.4 seconds to get to 62, depending on exact specifications, compared to the 5.5- to 5.8-second range for the 265-hp Boxster, while the Cayman 211 is quoted at 6.2 seconds versus the 275-hp Cayman's 5.4 to 5.7 seconds. Fuel consumption and emissions, on the other hand (and as you'd expect), are better in the 211. But while Porsche Norway charges around $10k less for the 211 models, Porsche Belgium charges the same for the 211 models as it does for the next most powerful versions (from which they appear to be visually indistinguishable).
China bans military license plates on luxury autos
Wed, 01 May 2013Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.

"We have enough to do at the moment in taking our twelve brands to where we want to be," Winterkorn tells German newspaper Handelsblatt.
