Many Upgrades, Over $50k In Receipts on 2040-cars
Baltimore, Maryland, United States
|
My wife and I recently moved from San Diego, CA to Baltimore, MD. I went from having a two car garage to a one car garage, and, now, a baby is on the way.
My loss is your gain. The last owner of this car never intended sell it. He spent a lot of money on it, but he was hurt bad in the housing crisis and so I bought it off him in 2009. I am willing to sell it for the same amount I paid for it even though I have over $15k in my own receipts since purchase. I am an engineer by background, and I have a fair amount of OCD when it comes to my projects. I just kept addressing every little thing that I could find. I think that comes through in how I represent the car. This is a California car. The maintenance receipts dating back to 1985 demonstrate the desert provenance of the car, and the VIN report shows emission checks in arid southern California. It has never seen salt or ice. It has no rust. I have over $50k in receipts for the last 14,000 miles on the car. The car also comes with receipts dating back to 1985. The mileage listed is since the engine rebuild. Here are the big ticket receipts: Major Engine Rebuild (14k miles) - Mild performance upgrades including ported and polished cylinder head, compression and cam - Custom chip programmed on the dyno reaching 208hp at the rear wheel Complete Transmission Rebuild (6k miles) - Fast Shift Synchros - Wevo Linkage, Wevo PSJ, Wevo Spring Kit, Wevo Extended Handle Suspension Upgrades (5k miles) - 24mm Hollow Elephant Torsion bars up front, 33mm Hollow Elephant Torsion bars in the back - Bilstein Sport Shocks, Corner Balanced Complete Interior Refurbishment - New leather, new carpets, new dashboard, new door panels - The pictures show it well This car is absolutely reliable. It leaks zero fluids. It has excellent rubber trim all the way around, great heating, and ice cold A/C. You could certainly use it as a daily driver without any issue and not have the guilt of devaluing a low mileage car. I can refer you to Black Forest Porsche in San Diego to ask about my maintenance history with the car and how persistent I was about addressing every little thing I could find. Give them the VIN so they can pull their records and ask for Jeff, or you could just look at my book of receipts. There is just over 268,000 miles on the odometer. The paint is the original single stage treatment from Stuttgart. It has nicks and chips commiserate with its age. It looks great in sunshine but a bit faded under artificial light. The next owner might consider repainting if you can find someone near you who will perform a single stage application correctly. Please don't mess up this beautiful car with clearcoat. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction should another transaction occur. Serious bidders only please. Thank you for your time in reading my ad and good luck bidding. |

Porsche teams with Delta airlines to woo VIP passengers
Sun, 15 Sep 2013The next time you're waiting for a flight at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, see if you can spot a Porsche Cayenne or Panamera zipping between aircraft on the busy tarmac. The high-performance German vehicles aren't there practicing for an upcoming autocross; they are tasked with whisking some of the airline's most important customers between flights so they can keep their busy schedules intact.
Launched nearly two years ago, the program has proven popular with the automaker, airline and passengers as all benefit from the unique arrangement. Atlanta-based Porsche is able to showcase its cars to Delta's frequent-flying Medallion members, the airline is recognized for providing unusual perks to its high-value customers and those fortunate enough to be surprised with a quick lift are able to make connections without a stressful run through the terminal. Based on its success, the airline is rolling our similar programs in New York, Los Angeles and Minneapolis this month.
And don't think Porsche is the only automaker working with an airline to entice its frequent flyers. Mercedes-Benz ran a program over the summer that offered purchasing and leasing incentives to MileagePlus Premier members of United Airlines, and the two are currently shuttling top fliers around Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in the automaker's S-Class and GL-Class models.
$1.4B hedge fund suit against Porsche dismissed
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Investors have canvassed courts in Europe and the US to repeatedly sue Porsche over its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen in 2008 (see here, and here and here), and they have repeatedly failed to win any cases. You can add another big loss to the tally, with Bloomberg reporting that the Stuttgart Regional Court has dismissed a 1.4-billion euro ($1.95B US) lawsuit, the decision explained by the court's assertion that the investors would have lost on their short bets even if Porsche hadn't misled them.
Examining the hedge funds' motives for stock purchases and the bets that VW share prices would fall, judge Carola Wittig said that the funds didn't base their decisions on the key bits of "misinformation," and instead were participating simply in "highly speculative and naked short selling," only to get caught out.
With other cases still pending, the continued streak of victories bodes well for Porsche's courtroom fortunes, since judges will expect new information to consider overturning precedent. If there is any new info, it could come from the potential criminal cases still outstanding against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking and CFO Holger Härter, who were both indicted on charges of market manipulation.
Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:
