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 GT3 dukes it out with MP4-12C on track and GT-R on spectacular roads
Thu, 22 Aug 2013The Porsche 911 GT3 has always been a favorite among auto journalists and car enthusiasts alike, but with the introduction of the new 991-generation GT3, which is the first GT3 with electric power steering and no manual gearbox option, how does it stack up to the competition from McLaren and Nissan?
Evo's Jethro Bovingdon attempts to answer that question by pitting the rear-engine Porsche against the mid-engine McLaren MP4-12C on a racetrack and the front-engine, all-wheel-drive Nissan GT-R on some amazing, twisty European back roads. We won't give away the victor of either comparison, but we will say that, in Evo's test, the McLaren's 141-horsepower advantage doesn't give it as much of an edge over the Porsche on a racetrack as one might think, and the lack of a manual gearbox and the inclusion of electric power steering on the GT3 isn't detrimental to enjoying the car on a back road.
Watch the video below to find out which car Bovingdon prefers on road and track - we think you'll be happy to see him drift around turns every chance he gets.
Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.
Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector
Mon, 21 Oct 2013While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.
