First, let me say that this is a strong and beautiful car. The exterior is as new, with no issues. Check out the pictures. It runs like a watch and doesn’t burn or leak a drop of oil. I have had it for fourteen years and it has been my daily driver. I would not hesitate to get into it tomorrow and drive it across the country. And I am a fanatic who keeps the exterior amazingly beautiful for a 23 year old car. You will find no better example!
The problem occurred when I moved from Chicago and wasn’t aware of the negative affects of the strong south Georgia sun. The driver seat dried out and cracked as you can see from the pictures. The passenger seat shows signs of wear but is still in good shape. One of the rear seats also needs replacement, although the other rear seat is perfect. The dash is perfect with no signs of wear, shrinking or cracking. The top portion of the leather steering wheel needs to be re-stitched, but the leather is perfect. The body has no rust, no dings, bubbling paint or cosmetic issues, and is as new. The paint is amazing, shiny and looks better than when it came out of the show room. I still get compliments and head turns on it at the grocery store. The tires are Sumitomo HTR Z II's and have about 40% tread left. The wheels are the very expensive upgraded Porshe turbo 18" wheels for this year and are beautiful, with color Porsche crests. There are some minor electrical problems. The passenger side tail light assembly is intermittent, comes on sometimes and not other. The headlights open and work fine but the glass holding the H4 bulbs leaks moisture. They do not need replacement, just to be thoroughly dried out and then re-sealed. The windshield has a crack on the passenger side and the car does run very rough on cold starts until it warms up, then it purrs like a kitten. It fires up normally when warm. My dealer tells me it is a temperature sensor that needs to be replaced. But there are three sensors on the 928 and, since he doesn't know which it is and I live on SS, I do not want to pay the exhorbitant service charges from this Porsche dealer to track down the problem, so I put up with cold starting the car and waiting a few minutes for it to warm up. The car has a computer built into the dash that warns you of all faults. The computer works flawlessly but warns that the rear axle fluid needs to be changed (see pic). This warning is based on time of service rather than any flaw in the axle fluid. My dealer told me to ignore it. The power windows, power sun roof, power trunk opener, 8-way power seats with memory and rear seat A/C work flawlessly. The driver side power mirror and rear wiper need to be diagnosed as they do not work. This has been and still is a nice car, and a head turner. All service records will be included with the sale. With a little patience, some seat reupholstering and minor electrical work, it will provide many more years of service. The Carfax report is clear and clean. I am including the Garmin 4.5" GPS and the original Porsche 2000 page dealer Shop Repair Manual on CD with the car. I am 71 years old and simply don't have the patience to work on cars anymore. But my laziness can profit you greatly in this purchase. I can arrange shipping with a carrier that I trust and have used twice before, with perfect results (at your expense). This is a “no reserve” auction. I require a $500 deposit within 3 days of the auction closing and the balance at pickup, all in certified funds. |

Porsche revisits its remarkable SC East African Safari rally car
Wed, 09 Jul 2014Porsche and motorsports just seem to go hand-in-hand. The brand has defined itself by its ability to compete on the track with the concept that racing bred better road cars. While we are used to seeing 911s speeding along circuits around the world, the rear-engine icon's success in rallying is somewhat less well known. The Porsche Museum aims to fix that by highlighting a 911 SC that competed in the 1978 East African Safari Rally.
The 911 rally car definitely projects a '70s vibe. You wouldn't see too many racecars with a pink brush bar sliding through the stages these days, but it looks amazing. Its bank of spotlights and two, giant, hood-mounted horns definitely give away the car's purpose. Best of all, that fantastic Martini livery defines the looks of Porsche racers from this era.
The 911 SC performed well in the East African Safari Rally, but some suspension damage meant that this particular one never raced again. It's been a part of the Porsche Museum ever since. Scroll down to learn a little more about one part of the brand's off-road legacy.
Porsche Macan spied, all lit up and dodging flurries
Thu, 17 Jan 2013We've seen the upcoming Porsche Macan testing on surface roads and even on the Nürburgring, but here we have our first spy shots showing a disguised prototype doing some winter testing in snowy conditions. Still obscured by plenty of camouflage attempting to mimic its larger Cayenne sibling, we still can't get a clear look at what the Macan's face and rump are going to look like, although it does appear that some details for the front lighting are starting to emerge.
Below the headlights, those are obviously decals trying to look like turn signal lenses, but it appears that there is still some sort of lighting being hidden judging by the small circles cut into the camo. Lower in the fascia, we can also see there are LED running lights not revealed on past prototypes. The entire rear end of this Macan prototype still appears to be tacked-on camo, but the side view appears to be in production form save for the poorly disguised rear quarter windows.
As we've seen in the past, Porsche engineers are still testing the Macan alongside the Audi Q5 with which it shares its platform. There has been no word as to when we could expect to see the Macan in production or concept form, but we'd have to guess that this compact crossover is getting ready to shed its camo very soon.
Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports
Thu, Feb 17 2022It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti. The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.
