**I'm relisting as the Buyer (after 9 bids) closed his ebay account once he won. I really don't know why you would do this but please only bid if you're 100% sure**
Up for sale is a my 2006 911 Cabriolet. She's Basal Black Metallic and shines beautifully.
I've had the car for only 8 months but I've decided to sell as I need to purchase an SUV pretty quick and do not have room . I've only put about 2000 miles on it (if that) since purchased from the manager of a large Car Dealership. In that time I've done the following upgrades:
- 36K mile service done at Beverly Hills Porsche
- Red OEM seatbelts installed at BV Porsche (always liked that look)
- Had a full detail at the cost of about 900.00 to make her look like new about 3 months ago
- Installed an Alcantara steering wheel with red stripe
- Installed an Alcantara shift boot and knob to match with red stitching
- Installed a carbon fiber cold air intake from fabspeed to improve the sound and a little more power
- installed clear front reflectors to replace the stock yellow ones
Tires are about 60% if not better, rims are perfect without even a knick. Motor looks like new and all stock other then the intake. She runs perfect, looks amazing and everything works like new.
Stock options include heated seats, Bose sound system, red calipers, 6 speed manual transmission, cruise control, xenon lights, etc. Also comes with a car cover and the original intake. Exhaust is stock.
Overall she shines like new, runs perfect and looks great.
Only imperfections I would like to point out is a few small rock chips on hood which can be expected with a used car, a small bit of rub marks under the front facia from steep driveways and a very small rub on the front right wheel arch on the nose portion. The picture looks worse then it is and honestly, I'm a perfectionist but didnt even notice it until I was snapping some pictures. I think it happened at valet here in santa monica as I don't recall ever rubbing it. I'm sure it would cost next to nothing to fix, very minor and again, on the rubber nose portion.
Mechanically, everything works great and drives perfectly. Only couple of things I would like to point out is that the inside driver door handle became a tad loose last time I drove it and its probably just a matter of adjusting the spring but i can't find the time to get to the dealer and not allowed to work on my car in my building (unfortunately). Two, I've never used the Navigation and noticed after I bought it that it did not come with the DVD. I really don't use Nav so I haven't bothered going through the motions.
I love this car, had a 911 turbo in the past, a 360 modena, an M6, bunch of cars and bikes but this is one of my favorites...just can't find the room for her right now and won't park it on the street. Interior is perfect but the heater button has the typical wear of the paint wearing off...I've seen that on every used porsche, suppose it could be touched up.
Thank you for looking, I have it listed locally as well and reserve the right to end the auction early if needed. Its financed through Wells Fargo so you'll need to allow me time to pull the title.
It only had one key when I bought the car, I bought another from BV Porsche, had it programmed and spent another 500 or so on that :(
Few more points:
Miles are closer to 38725 to be exact, just took her to the wash again
Added a photo of the small rub in front of the passenger wheel on the nose pc, again, not terribly noticeable.
Had the car fully inspected when I first purchased at Bev Hills Porsche. Had zero issues and that's when I had them install the red seatbelts, handle the service, etc.
I'd be more then happy to install the stock intake for you. This one ran about 700 or so and has only been on for about 500 miles. Neighbor has it on his R8, I liked the sound as I wanted to stay away from aftermarket exhaust and it works great, sounds nice when you get on the freeway.
Rims are 19"
Thank you very much and good luck!

Okay, let's be honest. The sky isn't falling – gas prices are. In fact, some experts say that prices at the pump will remain depressed for the next decade. Consumers have flocked to SUVs and CUVs, reversing the upward trend in US fuel economy seen over the last several years. A sudden push into electric vehicles seems ridiculous when gas guzzlers are selling so well. Make hay while the sun shines, right? A quick glance at some facts and figures provides evidence that the automakers currently doubling down on internal combustion probably have some rocky years ahead of them. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is a prime example of a volume manufacturer devoted to incremental gains for existing powertrains. Though FCA will kill off some of its more fuel-efficient models, part of its business plan involves replacing four- and five-speed transmissions with eight- and nine-speed units, yielding a fuel efficiency boost in the vicinity of ten percent over the next few years. Recent developments by battery startups have led some to suggest that efficiency and capacity could increase by over 100 percent in the same time. Research and development budgets paint a grim picture for old guard companies like Fiat Chrysler: In 2014, FCA spent about $1,026 per car sold on R&D, compared with about $24,783 per car sold for Tesla. To be fair, FCA can't be expected to match Tesla's efforts when its entry-level cars list for little more than half that much. But even more so than R&D, the area in which newcomers like Tesla have the industry licked is infrastructure. We often forget that our vehicles are mostly useless metal boxes without access to the network of fueling stations that keep them rolling. While EVs can always be plugged in at home, their proliferation depends on a similar network of charging stations that can allow for prolonged travel. Tesla already has 597 of its 480-volt Superchargers installed worldwide, and that figure will continue to rise. Porsche has also proposed a new 800-volt "Turbo Charging Station" to support the production version of its Mission E concept, and perhaps other VW Auto Group vehicles. As EVs grow in popularity, investment in these proprietary networks will pay off — who would buy a Chevy if the gas stations served only Ford owners? If anyone missed the importance of infrastructure, it's Toyota.

As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.

Toward the end of February it got leaked that Porsche CEO Matthias Muller was being promoted to Volkswagen's supervisory board. Muller's credentials and his success over 36 years at the VW Group have, for observers, put his name in the pool of potential candidates to succeed current group CEO Martin Winterkorn when Winterkorn retires in two years. But the 61-year-old Muller told German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung earlier in February, "It's no solution to put a 63-year-old at the head of Volkswagen," and the statement was taken to mean he wasn't considering the job. Muller now says the quote was misunderstood. In a report in Automotive News, the newly minted board member says he was commenting on what it would mean for the supervisory board and the Group if they nominated a 63-year-old to replace a 69-year-old - that it wouldn't result in a "generation change." However, if that's what they choose to do, Muller feels great: "I stand ready to take over any assignment," he said. Muller's name re-enters the candidacy pool, but we still have no idea who leads the running for the role and Winterkorn isn't saying a word. It could be three years before we know: Winterkorn's contract concludes at the end of next year but there is speculation he'll re-up for two years to see out the end of the Strategy 2018 initiative.
