Due to last two buyers who never paid, and didn't answer correspondence after having their offer accepted, I will only consider accepting an offer if you contact me first. Thank you.

Relisted due to time waster (calfcanyon) who had their offer accepted by me and then didn't pay!

The 1989 Porsche 928 S4 was amazingly technologically advanced for its day. Aluminum body panels, weissach rear axle (passive 4-wheel steering), climate control, central warning panel, digital dash with trip computer, etc. It sold for $75,000 in 1989. Now, 25 years later, I still enjoy the way it handles and holds its own. I had always wanted one of these since I was a kid, so when the opportunity arose I bought one. I drove it to work every day and maintained and improved it regardless of cost. It has always brought a smile to my face. Now it's time to move on.

Owned by me and driven on highway journeys daily (the last 55,000 miles) since September 2009. Always maintained by Porsche specialist (Carl’s Place, Las Vegas) who I can't recommend highly enough - they know this car inside and out. Comprehensive receipts for more than $26,000 in last 4 years - Yes, $26,000! (it made my eyes water when I added it up...)

The genuine Porsche 18” wheels (Carrera III) alone retail for $3,500 if you can find them (I still have the original wheels with tires (one with a nail in it) which are included as part of the sale). 

New rear tires, new battery, recent timing belt (Gates racing belt), Tensioner (Porkensioner), Engine Guardian Water Pump Drive System, PKlamp, silicone vacuum lines, spark plugs, leads, coils, distributor caps, air pump, 928 Motorsports aluminium radiator, 928 Motorsports twin electric fan upgrade, coolant change, thermostat. Air conditioning blows coolish (could probably use a charge for the summer), power memory seats + mirror. Jager Engineering shifter and surround, Bluetooth hands-free stereo, 4-channel amp, upgraded speakers and crossovers (MB Quart – included, but not all fitted yet). Very good quality ceramic tint, custom exhaust.

Reason for sale - I've loved using this as my daily driver for 4 years, but now I have a family and a large dog who just don't understand why I need such a selfish car. So I have bought a 2002 Audi S6 wagon (very nice!) which has replaced this Porsche as my daily driver and doubles as a family/dog-friendly transport. The Porsche has just sat in the garage since, except for a monthly blow through and drive. This is your chance to own a good 928 that has been thoroughly cared for, regularly driven, never abused, and enthusiastically upgraded. Please don't buy one that's been in storage or is much cheaper but has no maintenance history. You'll probably regret it. Don't be put off by the mileage - 154k over 25 years is less than 7k miles per year. I had the block checked with a leakdown test recently and I was told that it was still within factory tolerances for a new engine.

Experian Autocheck - Accident - You will see an accident recorded in June 2009. It was BEFORE I bought the car so I was very particular about checking it out before I parted with my money. The accident was a VERY slow speed rear end so required only a rear bumper repair, including paint and trimmings. The body shop bill was for $1705 (I have a copy of the receipt which lists the parts and labor). The previous owner was a detective in Seattle, Wa.

Condition is good, but this is not a concours or show car (although I have taken it to some Porsche 928 meetings, and occasionally to Cars and Coffee Las Vegas on a Saturday morning where it gets a lot of interest, even amongst Lambos, Ferraris and classic muscle cars, corvettes etc.). I have spent lots of money willingly to keep the mechanicals in good reliable order as I am in the military and not showing up at work due to car trouble is a no no. I have upgraded many components to more modern standards where possible. If you want extra photos of anything in particular, let me know. I have also digitized the history documentation, so I can supply that too. There are some nicely touched up spots on the doors (quarter dollar sized), just below the mirrors, apparently this is quite common. Also, see photos for rear headlining distortion behind passenger seat - it was like that when I bought it. I never tried steaming it to bend it back. I have also included a photo of the front left wheel well liner which is cracked. I just noticed that today when taking new photos.

This car is sold AS IS, no warranty given or implied. However, I hope it goes to a good home, as I get great satisfaction from having preserved and improved one of the great cars to pass on to another enthusiast who should get many years of walking out to a car that will make him or her smile.


New battery fitted. Two new rear tires fitted.

Update April 12, 2014: New photos taken inside and out.

Porsche reveals new 911 Turbo Cabriolets, starting from $160,700*

Mon, 23 Sep 2013

Porsche has come a long way from the days when its entire model line revolved essentially around the 911, but its prototypical rear-engined sports car is still what it's known for best, and still keeps the German automaker pretty busy. With a seemingly endless array of variations on the theme, the 911s just keep on coming until a new generation arrives and then it starts all over again. And what we have here is the new king of the hill (for now, anyway).
Set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show a little less than two months from now are the new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolets. And no, that's not a typo: that's cabriolets, plural, because what you're looking at are two new models. First up is the 911 Turbo Cabriolet, whose 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six develops 520 horsepower, driving the droptop to 60 miles per hour in 3.3 seconds. That's Porsche's claim, and we have a feeling it's a bit conservative. But if that's still not enough, the 911 Turbo S Cabriolet adds an extra 40 hp for a total of 560 to drop the benchmark acceleration run down to 3.1 seconds.
That makes the new topless Turbos 30 horses stronger and 0.2 seconds quicker than the respective models they replace, but the weight penalty involved with replacing a fixed roof with a folding one (and the necessary structural reinforcement) does make the new 911 Turbo Cabs a smidgen more lethargic than their contemporary coupe counterparts, which run the gauntlet in 3.2 and 2.9 seconds in standard Turbo and upgraded Turbo S specs, respectively. They only lose a single tick on the top speed, though, which clocks in at a follicle-tickling 195 mph in either spec. Otherwise the specifications are as identical as you might expect.

World Car of the Year finalists announced

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).

2014 Porsche Panamera 4S Executive

Fri, 09 Aug 2013

If the idea of a Porsche sedan (or, long hatchback) is still off-putting to you, then you might want to look away now. For 2014, the polarizing Panamera has received a midcycle refresh bringing slightly different styling, as well as adding two new models to the lineup, the S E-Hybrid and the stretched-wheelbase Executive. Having focused most of my recent trip to Germany on a First Drive of the intriguing plug-in Panamera, I also got to spend some time with the roomier Executive model.
Offered in both 4S and Turbo guise, the Panamera Executive has been stretched by almost six inches for the sole purpose of improving rear passenger space. Although it's hard to imagine anyone would willingly buy a Porsche and opt to sit in the back seat, I'd have to say that if I'm going to be chauffeured around in a car, why not make it a Porsche? For the most part, though, I'm guessing that many Panamera Executive sedans will be owned by people who want to one-up their buddy driving a stretched BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
