Hello-
Im selling my 1986 porsche 928s black on black. I purchased from the original owner and the car has all reciepts since new, a clean title, and even the window sticker. on the cars history it was reg'd in several states but that is because the orig owner moved around and took it with him as evidenced by the receipts i have back to 1986 all with the same name on them. the car is very nice looking it is black, it has small dents and scratches here and there but presents well. no accidents are listed for the car and the car appears to have its original paint other than a small area on the passenger rear qrtr. which looks like a very good small repair there (ie you cannot tell by looking at the car, you have to inspect the passenger door jam and you see a small paint seam.) car has zero rust and was garaged its whole life. the interior is black leather and fully operable. there are no tears in the leather, only very small cracks here and there on plastic knobs, etc. dash is very very clean. interior presents very well. the AT stick for some reason bumps into the sunroof button behind it when you shift into 1st or 2nd. there is zero problems with the transmission, it shifts very well, this is just some of the plastic may be slightly warped. engine runs very well, i drive it daily and have zero issues--I am selling as i imagined id make this into a track car but it is such a nice example i cant bear to alter it, plus its an AT, so i bought a 335i for the track instead. I took it to my porsche mechanic and he says the car is a solid driver and looks nice. the timing belt was replaced 2k miles ago but it was 7 years ago, ive chosen not to replace yet as the cars been driven lightly and s it was just replaced 2 miles ago, but he says if it were him, he would do all the belts to be safe. he also says there is some oil seepage here and there. im sure thats normal for a 1986 car. I have zero oil marks in my garage ever from the car and my level never goes down so you are fine. he also says the front AC does not work but the rear AC does work. (this car was optione with an extra cooling package) . I just tried the front AC and it was indeed working so the front AC may be intermittant. it works for me but porsche mechanic says did not for him. car is great, only has 66k miles on it, looks so so cool turns heads!! you can drive from here to LA no problem, its reliable. I would either drive it as it and/or restore it due to its fully documented history and hell i even have the original valet key and a car cover. I will not ship this overseas, if you are overseas you need to have someone come see me in person and give me cash and take the car. you can come see the car in person in oakland. I do not have time to f around with you driving the car all over, etc. so if you want eyeballs on it, come see it. I feel I have been very honest in my description, and have probably knocked the car harder than it needs to be knocked. its a no reserve auction, if you win you need to send me 1k within 24hrs, and the balance and pick within a week. cheers oh I forgot--I have a set of 1987 s4 staggered wheels on there that i just had re-chromed and BRAND NEW bridgstone RE-11's 225/245 mounted ( : car also comes with its original wheels which are same style but not staggared |

Five reasons to love, or hate, the culture of German cars
Thu, Mar 5 2015A few months back, we took a 500-foot view of the culture of American cars, dissecting prides and prejudices on our way to the conclusion that automotive allegiances can be simultaneously embraced and derided. We had so much fun with the narrative that we decided to do it again, this time taking a look at Germany and its world-renowned lineup of automakers, including the likes of Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen, among others. Join us below as we discuss the points and counterpoints that make or have made the German auto industry what it is today. And remember, Germany did pretty much invent the automobile, after all... The V12 Engine If America is known for the proliferation of the V8 engine, an argument could be made that Germany owns the V12. Yes, of course, other companies have created V12 engines – Ferrari, Jaguar and Lamborghini immediately come to mind – but the big 12-cylinder powerplants from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in particular, have proven to be some of the most effortless, luxurious and downright over-built engines the world has ever seen. These days, having 12 cylinders is more a case of wretched excess than ever before, and yet, you can still stroll into your local BMW or Mercedes dealership and get a brand-new 760i, S600 or even an over-the-top G65 AMG, efficiency be damned. Best of all, since the majority of these German powerhouses depreciate as fast as an anchor sinks, nearly any auto enthusiast who dreams of a dozen cylinders can satisfy their carnal desires. Current Star: 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 View 28 Photos Diesel Engines Remember how we talked about those glorious V12 engines? Well, you can even get one from Audi that runs on diesel. If your compression-ignition fantasies err more on the side of fuel savings, that's no problem, either. Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen have got you covered, with engines starting as small as 800 cubic centimeters (Smart Fortwo). If you want something a little more practical, it's hard to argue with a VW Golf TDI, which will provide plenty of space for you and three of your best friends, plus a fair bit of luggage, all while returning 50-ish miles per gallon. For the purposes of this discussion, we'd rather focus on the asinine levels of torque provided by Germany's high-end diesel engines than the lower-end fuel sippers.
Top Gear drag races VW Golf R against McLaren 675LT and Porsche 911
Thu, Apr 7 2016Top Gear's latest quarter-mile drag race in the collects three very different performance vehicles: the 296-horsepower Volkswagen Golf R, 424-hp Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and 666-hp McLaren 675LT. While each of these cars sit near the top of their segment, they each come from totally different rungs of the sports car price ladder. Spoiler alert, the Golf R doesn't win. But the final results illustrate the diminishing returns of price and performance. For example, the McLaren is only about a second quicker than the Porsche to 60 miles per hour, but the 675LT costs over 2.5 times more that the GTS. Related Video:
Best luxury SUVs of 2022 and 2023
Mon, Sep 12 2022Once upon a time, the idea of a luxury SUV meant a Range Rover, and even that was pretty agricultural by modern standards. Then Jeep Grand Cherokees and Ford Explorers started offering fancy, range-topping versions followed soon by Lexus, BMW and Mercedes dipping their toes in the water. And then the floodgates opened. Today, there is a staggering number of luxury SUVs available in every shape, size and price point. There are electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace, as well as gas-swilling, high-performance SUVs like the BMW X5 M and Cadillac Escalade V. Sports car makers Porsche, Aston Martin and Lamborghini have even dived in. But of this great many, which are the best luxury SUVs? We sat down, scoured our reviews, took some votes, had some discussions and came up with the luxury SUVs we view as the best. They are listed alphabetically within the six segments listed below. Best Subcompact Luxury SUV  |  Best Compact Luxury SUV  |  Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Two-Row) Best Midsize Luxury SUV (Three-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Two-Row)  |  Best Flagship Luxury SUV (Three-Row) Best subcompact luxury SUVs Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class Why it stands out: Outstanding space and versatility; legit luxury interior; amusing GLB 35 versionCould be better: Overwhelming and confusing tech interface Most subcompact luxury SUVs are a dubious value, with cramped interiors of marginal quality and unrefined driving dynamics. You'd be much better off paying less money for a loaded, non-luxury compact SUV. The Mercedes GLB is different, though. Its boxy design provides space few other subcompact SUV can match (luxury or otherwise), while its cabin design and feature content are in keeping with pricier Mercedes models. The quality's not exactly up to GLC standards, nor is driving refinement, but the difference is appropriate for how much you're saving and still perfectly acceptable. There's nothing dubious about buying a GLB.   Volvo XC40 Why it stands out: More features for the money; spacious and versatile interior; distinctive design; electric versionCould be better: Fuel-efficient base engine only available with FWD Most subcompact luxury models feel a bit like cheap knockoffs of their bigger, pricier brand mates. The XC40, by contrast, is a break from the Volvo norm in a good way.
