Paint – The paint is very nice, shiny, and smooth. Believed to be mostly original with the exception of the front end. The original paint does match all the way around. Under just the right circumstances with the right light and angle you will see that the front nose & bumper assembly and the light covers are just a shade off from the rest of the car.(see pictures) Upon inspecting the passenger door (just above the molding with looking up close with a flash light) you will notice a few pin head size bubbles in the paint. The car has picked up a few nicks from normal usage on the passenger head light cover and nose of the car(above license plate). Misc chips include, the passenger door (front and back edge), lower part of right fender, two small nicks behind right rear tire and a light scratch about eight to ten inches long near the right rear exhaust outlet. Over all the paint has held up extremely well with little exposure.


BODY- The body looks very nice and straight but being extremely critical, there are two minor dimples (right and left rear corners. ) Doors and body panels appear to be fitting correctly. According to a magnetic gauge, rear quarters and the hood are the only major steel portions of the car (on the outside skin.) The doors and front fenders are all composite materials or non magnetic. Trunk could have been adjusted to the left slightly and the front has a gap between the right head lamp cover and the fender that appears tighter than it should be.

BRIGHT WORK- Described in tire and wheel section.

GLASS- Both side windows, windshield, and rear window are all the same make (EZ, Kool by LOF) All glass is very clear with no discoloring, delamination, bulls-eyes, cracks, or wiper marks. Only possible place for wear would be few pin head size nicks on the windshield that are from normal driving. There is no damage or cracking on the T-tops.

INTERIOR- No obvious changes or replacements have been made with the interior. The dash and controls show very little wear at all and the rest of the interior all seems to be intact. Console and glass holder appears to be a shade lighter in coloring. The sun visor material is fastened well and the backing is not deteriorated. The headliner has no loose spots or damage and still retains good color. Seats show slight wear (which is normal) and could use a leather softener. You will notice a little wear on driver side upholstery and some light scuffing the on bottom of the door trim. Over all the interior has held up very well!

TRUNK- Shows very little wear, just a little dust and animal hair. With a vacuum it would clean up very nice. Mini spare and the jack mechanism is in place where it is stored under the right rear speaker. Trunk has holder for both T- tops and shades.

TIRES AND WHEELS- All four tires are Cooper Cobra radial tires. Fronts and rears are P 245-50-16, and tread depth on all tires are 6 /32. There is no cracking or curb damage to the tire and wheels. 

Left front- P245/50/16 6/32 Right front- P245/50/16 6/32

Left rear-P245/50/16 6/32 Right rear- P245/50/16 6/32




ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION- Engine compartment has some dust but no obvious changes from factory except a new battery. Nothing appears to be modified except the installation of the Corsa Exhaust system.

TEST DRIVE- Windshield wipers work on both speeds and washers do function. The air conditioner does cool thought it may be a little low on refrigerant. A/C is not as cold as I believe it could be. The rear defroster light does operate, and the selector for heat and ventilation appears to work in all modes. Radio works on both AM and FM and disc player operates correctly. All other radio buttons seem to be working correctly. The power door looks, steering wheels controls, horn, trunk and hood release work. Power windows on left and right both work and both of the power mirrors operate. The locking mechanism on the T- tops work correctly. Antenna does work, head lights all work on high and low beam, and fog lights operate. Front and rear(left and right side) blinkers work. 

CHASSIS- It is very evident (looking at the bottom side of the car) it has not been exposed to much weathering. Only slight surface rust on the front suspension component. The rest of the bottom side shows hardly any surface rust at all. (see pictures) There is a little bit of seeping from the A/C compressor. You will notice only a slight dampness around the rear end. It is apparent this car has had little exposure to the elements. There is no rust proofing or undercoating hiding the underside. This is a great way to verify how little the vehicle has been out in the weather.

This vehicle is being sold AS IS and without a warranty, unless otherwise stated.


Information about serial numbers, engine numbers, and any other codes does not guarantee a vehicle’s authenticity. These codes and numbers are not guaranteed to be the same as the information on the vehicle ID or vin, trim tag, engine block, cylinder heads, transmission, differential, or other components within this vehicle. Auto Connection does not guarantee documentation, authenticity, repairs, mechanical work, titles, odometer discrepancies, matching numbers, stamped engines, casting numbers, or any other codes, tags, or numbers. The potential for reproduction paper documentation exists, as well as restamped engines and reproduced trim/data tags.


Auto Connection has described this vehicle to the best of their knowledge, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the description. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection of the vehicle in person, or through a qualified third party inspector/appraiser. We welcome inspections and even have an 8 page professional vehicle inspection form you or your appraiser can use.


The vehicle will remain for sale until a buyer has placed a deposit on it. This deposit is nonrefundable with the exception of the vehicle being severely misrepresented by Auto Connection or the seller, or stipulated in the Bill of Sale.


It is possible that this vehicle will be sold at a higher price than the highest bid (before or after the auction ends), if the reserve is not met.

For the most part, the vehicle for sale is not “perfect”. It is unreasonable to assume that every single flaw in the paint, body, engine, etc. or any minor mechanical items (such as a light not working) be considered a reason to refuse the vehicle.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
