This car technically belongs to my mom, but I purchased it originally in July 2006. I picked the car up in Fort Wayne, Indiana for $6,500 and drove it 13 hours straight to Richmond, Va. Incredible experience! We had a fantastic first year together, in which I had the pedal assembly rebuilt with a new master cylinder and updated brake cables etc. Had zero issues.
In 2007, I decided to "reward" the faithful 912 with a motor rebuild. I picked the wrong guys to do the engine work (took 3x as long as promised, $1,000+ additional, etc). So I had a different mechanic install a rebuilt transmission. All of this put us without the car for almost the entire year. Horrible. When I finally picked it up with the new motor and transmission, we made it only about 2 hours before the motor seized (no oil!). I could never prove which mechanic was ultimately to blame. Out of money and frustrated, we parked it.
For the next couple of years or so, we slowly replaced and/or repaired the damaged parts (with mechanics' consultation) and gathered what I believe to be all of the necessary pieces to rebuild the motor. Simultaneously, we took the car to a guy in Martinsville, VA to repair rust etc and paint the 912. It has barely seen the light of day since the body work. Until January, we kept it in a storage unit. It has been in my parking lot under a car cover for the past few months.
The interior would be ok with a good cleaning, but there are a few scratches and such as I have only done "necessary" repairs. We will include some updated seatbelts, still in the box. Also cool, is that I had a cd player concealed in the glove box back in 2006 with some MB Quart speakers in the doors.
Today, the 912 is physically in solid shape. The motor is somewhat if not completely "all there", with ASSEMBLY REQUIRED. The transmission has only a couple of hours on it. Wipers, motor, transmission, exhaust, are out of the car, but will be included. Heater boxes are rusted out, but I'll include them for whatever that is worth. Actual mileage is unknown.
Selling this car breaks my heart after everything we've been through. Not to mention that we will never recover the time and money invested. But we are out of time and money (at least for now), and must sell. I sincerely hope our 912 finds a good home.
Best,
-Curtis

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
2015 Porsche Cayman GTS
Thu, 29 May 2014The Porsche Boxster and Cayman will forever nip at the heels of their big brother, the 911 Carrera, and perpetuating this tradition are the latest GTS variants, which add yet another arrow to the quiver of the plucky mid-engined platform.
The GTS' performance enhancements boost horsepower by a mere 15 and shave a tenth from 0 to 60, but Porsche's clever product planners and engineers have stuck to their familiar formula in making the Cayman GTS more desirable than the Boxster for dyed-in-the-wool performance enthusiasts. More on that shortly.
Laps around Spain's Circuito Mallorca RennArena and the nearby Serra de Tramuntana mountain range would shed further light on how the GTS differentiates itself from lesser Caymans.
2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man
Thu, 21 Nov 2013In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.
