2002 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet Convertible
This 911 has a perfect body. And new tires. Inside is in great shape. The thing is I live in a small town and I'm tired of having to drive 2 hours one way for maintenance. Last year the motor failed. I had a shop sent the motor off. He sent it to Motor Meister in Southern CA which is a horrible place that filed bankruptcy. He replaced the motor with a used one with 41K miles and put an upgraded LN IMS bearing in it. This cost me 13K. The shop I got the work done was not happy about having to replace the motor and because I was to stupid to get the paper work when I picked it up he won't answer my calls about any documents on it or talk to me about it knocking. (He is 3 hours one way from me). I just put new tires on this year and had it aligned. It has always drove and handled like a super car should. I'm afraid to drive it because I'm afraid it will break down in it's current condition. Therefore I won't let anyone test drive it. You can buy it based on it having a bad motor now. If it does not bring what I'm asking I'll fix it. The way I look at it is with a total rebuild from a reputable shop that seems to run $7500-$10000 and the body looking good. You can have a 911 that looks as good as any with a better than new motor. You see I put painted light covers on it to give it an updated look. Which alone makes it look clean and better than most 996's. The top is in great shape and everything else worked when I parked it. You can tell by it conditions that it has been well cared for. The body has just over 100,000 miles. If you bid on it be able to pay for it and pick it up within two weeks. 20% down within 72 hours. Do not call if you are out of the country and have some kind of strange way of paying. I want someone to pick it up with that full payment. Clean title The only trade I would consider is a Lotus Elise in great running shape because my local shop can maintain them. Buy is responsible for pickup 731-607-5266 Thanks |

Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
VW confirms development of 10-speed dual clutch, 134-hp/liter diesel
Fri, 26 Apr 2013Each year, the Vienna International Motor Symposium showcases some of the up-and-coming technologies automakers are engineering for the use in passenger cars, and Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn revealed some big developments VW is working on for its future products. Winterkorn discussed a multi-faceted approach that VW is looking to reduce its fleet fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Some of the bigger news he discussed included a "high-performance" diesel engine that will produce 134 horsepower per liter and a 10-speed DSG automatic transmission. While no specific applications were mentioned, we can only hope this is for the Audi R4 we keep hearing about.
Another topic he touched on that caused us to perk up our ears was had to do with VW's plug-in hybrid technology. While we know the PHEV versions of the Audi A3 and Porsche Panamera are on the way, Winterkorn also said that these two models will be followed up by Golf, Passat, Audi A6 and Porsche Cayenne plug-in models. Scroll down for a press release highlighting the automaker's future fuel-saving initiatives.
Porsche, Hyundai and GM impress in J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, Fiat and Jeep don't
Wed, 18 Jun 2014Consumers continue to struggle with the advanced user interfaces and technologies being fitted to new cars, according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Study. Overall, the industry average for problems per 100 vehicles climbed three percent, to 116 issues reported in the first 90 days of ownership.
Vehicles from the General Motors' family were dominant, with Buick, Chevrolet and GMC capturing more individual IQS segment awards than any other manufacturer. Despite its well-publicized issues, six GM vehicles (Buick Encore, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevy Silverado HD, Chevy Suburban, GMC Terrain and GMC Yukon) were given IQS awards for their respective segments.
Hyundai was ranked the best overall mass-market brand, with just 94 issues in every 100 vehicles reported in the first 90 days. Parent Hyundai Motor Company, meanwhile, trailed GM with five vehicles winning their segments, including the Hyundai Accent, Elantra and Genesis, as well as the Kia Cadenza and Sportage.
