   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

Automakers not currently promoting EVs are probably doomed

Mon, Feb 22 2016

Okay, let's be honest. The sky isn't falling – gas prices are. In fact, some experts say that prices at the pump will remain depressed for the next decade. Consumers have flocked to SUVs and CUVs, reversing the upward trend in US fuel economy seen over the last several years. A sudden push into electric vehicles seems ridiculous when gas guzzlers are selling so well. Make hay while the sun shines, right? A quick glance at some facts and figures provides evidence that the automakers currently doubling down on internal combustion probably have some rocky years ahead of them. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is a prime example of a volume manufacturer devoted to incremental gains for existing powertrains. Though FCA will kill off some of its more fuel-efficient models, part of its business plan involves replacing four- and five-speed transmissions with eight- and nine-speed units, yielding a fuel efficiency boost in the vicinity of ten percent over the next few years. Recent developments by battery startups have led some to suggest that efficiency and capacity could increase by over 100 percent in the same time. Research and development budgets paint a grim picture for old guard companies like Fiat Chrysler: In 2014, FCA spent about $1,026 per car sold on R&D, compared with about $24,783 per car sold for Tesla. To be fair, FCA can't be expected to match Tesla's efforts when its entry-level cars list for little more than half that much. But even more so than R&D, the area in which newcomers like Tesla have the industry licked is infrastructure. We often forget that our vehicles are mostly useless metal boxes without access to the network of fueling stations that keep them rolling. While EVs can always be plugged in at home, their proliferation depends on a similar network of charging stations that can allow for prolonged travel. Tesla already has 597 of its 480-volt Superchargers installed worldwide, and that figure will continue to rise. Porsche has also proposed a new 800-volt "Turbo Charging Station" to support the production version of its Mission E concept, and perhaps other VW Auto Group vehicles. As EVs grow in popularity, investment in these proprietary networks will pay off — who would buy a Chevy if the gas stations served only Ford owners? If anyone missed the importance of infrastructure, it's Toyota.

Another cool projection vid, this time with a Porsche 911

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Porsche has become the latest automaker to take advantage of clever projection technology. The automaker worked up a quick presentation for the 2013 911 Carrera 4S to show off a bit of "motionless driving." The display tracks the sports car from production to back-road caning and city-center cruising, displaying a variety of exterior color choices and wheel options without resorting to a two-dimensional video.
This isn't the first time we've seen an automaker use its new product as a projection screen. Subaru, Hyundai, Lamborghini and others have all done the same, and the trick never fails to be visually interesting.
As you may recall, we got to play with the 2013 911 Carrera 4S back in November and found the machine to be a better daily driver than its rear-wheel drive counterpart. You can check out the projection video below.

The 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster only looks weirder with age

Tue, Mar 1 2016

The 1994 Porsche 911 Speedster is undoubtedly a rare car, and it's even rather quick by the standards of the era. However, the designers weren't at their best when they created the odd shape at this model's rear. MotorWeek remembers this classic Porsche's exciting performance and weird look in its latest Retro Review. The Speedster's design isn't all bad. The front end still looks fantastic thanks to the nose of the 964-generation 911 and a steeply raked windshield. We can even live with the body color wheels. However, things get much worse at the rear where the hard cover, which hides the roof, gives the convertible a hunchback. As MotorWeek shows, fitting the manual top is quite fiddly. Porsche might have been better off from a styling perspective by leaving the back smooth and completely ditching the complicated roof. You can't get a good look at the weird rear from the driver's seat, and MotorWeek says that the Speedster excels once you're behind the wheel. The handling and braking are reportedly especially good. Sport seats grip the driver closely, and even with 247 horsepower, the convertible gets to 60 miles per hour in 5.4 seconds. With the weather starting to warm up, it sounds like a great experience, and you can imagine taking a ride in MotorWeek's latest video. Related Video:
