For Sale is my 86.5 Porsche 928. Car is very clean and runs Excellent! I have owned the car for about 8 years and it has been a great car. I believe I am the 3rd owner of the car and the Odometer shows 56,705 although it stopped working shortly after I purchased the car. The speedometer functions perfectly, only the odometer has stopped. This is very common on the older gear driven speedometers, so chances are if you are looking at an older 928 it has had this issue at some time in its life. In any case, I drive this car less than around a 1000 miles a year, so the car probably has in the low to mid 60's on it at this time.
Upgrades include a set of RH 18" wheels which cost around $3500.00 and a set of Dunlop Sport tires ( almost $1000.00). Wheels and tires have around 2000 miles on them and are in excellent shape and show no tread wear or curb rash etc. I have changed the oil religiously yearly with Mobil 1 and is always covered and stored correctly when not in use. The timing belt was replaced before I purchased the car at around 50,000 miles per conversation with prior owner before I bought it, although I don't have any paperwork on it ,but I believe him as he was very mechanical and kept the car in good running order. 2 years ago I had the car gone through by an independant Porsche mechanic, replacing bad vacuum lines as well as a full tune with new plugs filters, etc as well as misc.other things and have a receipt totaling around $2600.00. At that time timing belt was checked and retensioned and had a clean bill of health. I also had the windshield replaced about 2 years ago and is perfect with no chips or pitting. Car passed Colorado emissions last year as well as in all previous years, and as noted before runs excellent. The transmission shifts firmly and perfectly and has never had any issues. Air conditioning does NOT blow cold and I have never had the issue addressed so don't know if it's as small as a recharge or if it is more complex. It is not typically hot enough here in Colorado for air most of the time so I never looked into it as it was not a priority. All windows function properly and electric seats function although drivers side seat needs a seat switch cover as the front one is missing.
The factory stereo had been replaced with a Pioneer head unit, and there is a sub box in the back with an amp and 2 12" subs, although that can be removed easily if you are not into that sort of thing. I must say that it does sound extremely good though! Interior is in very clean condition, with all leather in good shape,with no separation or tears and only slight (and I mean very slight) wear on the drivers seat bolster. Carpet is excellent as well. Dash has a couple of typical small cracks and the car currently has a dash matte cover. I would rate the interior at an 8.5 or 9 on a scale of 1 - 10 with 10 being the best. Exterior of car is still in original paint and very nice for its age. It does however have some small rock chips and pitting on the front bumper area, and a couple of small dings on the hood that were there when I purchased the car ( see photo) they are not very large and are only noticeable when you are close, but I did want to disclose them. The car overall is very straight, but it has a very small door ding on the passengers door (again only can see up close and at certain angles) The only other surface defect is on the left rear quarter above the rear wheel well there is a very small dent and a 1-2" long surface scratch, again not major but I am trying to describe the car best as possible. I would rate the exterior at about a 7.5-8 with 10 being perfect. Overall car is considerably better than average.
I have been around 928's for quite awhile, and this is the third one that I have owned and the best one of the three. If you are looking for a reasonably nice 928 for a reasonably good price, this should end your search. Is the car perfect? No, there are Very few of those and you definitely won't find one for under 10 grand, but this one is about as nice of one as you will find in this price range. I have decided to sell this and move on to something else, and it should make someone a very good car for quite some time. I am including several pictures, as the old adage goes that a picture is worth a thousand words is true here. I have watched the 928 market for some time and am pricing mine at what I feel is a realistic price for what it is worth, although I am open to serious offers. I am not interested in giving the car away as it is much too nice to do so, so only reasonable and serious offers will be considered.
If you have any questions I can be reached by phone at (970) 310-8861 and I would be happy to answer any or all questions. I have a free and clear Colorado title in hand, and will require a $500.00 deposit Via Paypal within 24 hrs of purchasing and payment in full within 7 days or at time of pickup, whichever comes first. Final payment will be via certified funds or cash. Buyer will be responsible for shipping and transportation of the vehicle, although I will assist as much as possible on this end. I am located in Loveland Colorado about an hour north of Denver, and vehicle is available for inspection at any time. Again thanks for looking, Mark

Porsche 911: Big in Taiwan
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Porsche is continuing celebrations for the fiftieth anniversary of its iconic 911. In its latest video, it's gone to Taiwan, to interview some of the folks that have grown passionate about the rear-engined sportscar over the years.
By and large, the views expressed in this video could have come from anywhere in the world. The 911 is a great car and that doesn't change from country to country. These enthusiasts have the same passion that fans in England, the United States or Germany have for the Carrera. Take a look below at the full video, to see what the 911 enthusiasts of Taiwan love about their 911s.
2014 Porsche 911 Targa takes its crop-top off in Motor City
Mon, 13 Jan 2014Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.
These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years
Thu, Nov 19 2020The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles — and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount — the least amount of money lost after five years — indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.
