I'm selling my 1983 Porsche. It is in very good condition. I am the 3rd owner of the car. The original owner sold it to a colleague at work in 1989, and I bought it from him this past April. I have not owned the car long, but I have drove it almost 10K. I would trust this car to drive anywhere for any distance. It had 86K on it when I purchased it. I have the name, number and address of the mechanic and shop who serviced this vehicle since new. I just had the timing belt, and water pump done last month.

There are no leaks of any kind that I have noticed. The car does not burn oil, clutch is as it should be, and all gears are as they should be. The AC works, but could use some more R12. It's cool, but not cold. Heat works awesome. Mechanically everything is sound.

Tires are Michellins with 85% tread left on each. No uneven wear. Alignment is straight. Brakes are good. I put new hood supports in as well. I have changed the oil every 3500 miles with Mobile 1 synthetic 10/30. New fuel filter installed as well. And new air filter.

There are some rock chips in the paint, but nothing excessive and not a lot considering the 31 year age of the car. Small dent in drivers door. It could be popped out by removing inside door panel, but it's not bad, so I wasn't concerned with it. Small dent under right side tail light, not very noticable either. No rust. Paint is very glossy and sharp looking. Has aftermarket cd player, single disk. Some cracks in the dash, but not bad. Couple pix show what's there.

I average 27 mpg and use 87 octane fuel.

Overall, mechanically and cosmetically this car is very good. Low miles for the year, and has been kept in great condition. I do have the main records for the maintenance as well. I called the original mechanic after I purchased the car to check when things such as timing belt and water pump were done, and if any major issues were fixed. Nothing major done, just routine timing, water pump, etc.

I also did a full tune up on the car when I bought it a few months ago. New plugs, cap, rotor, wires.

Again, I would trust this car to drive anywhere in my opinion. I use it as a daily driver and have not had any issues. Fun car that gets great gas mileage. Please ask any questions if you have any. This is a 4 seater. The front has plenty of room...the back seats, not so much! I usually leave the back seat folded down for larger cargo area. Front seats have some tears mainly along some of the seams, but are in very good shape. I have heavy duty seat covers on them to protect them.

The car is also for sale locally so seller has the right to end auction if the vehicle is no longer available. This is a no reserve auction, so high bidder will receive the car.

China bans military license plates on luxury autos

Wed, 01 May 2013

Driving a vehicle with a military license plate in China provides many privileges. Legally reserved for official vehicles only, the designation apparently allows drivers to enjoy special liberties on the roads, including breaking traffic laws, filling up with free fuel and receiving light-and-siren escorts through congested cities. So attractive are the benefits that there is a secondary market for used legal and counterfeit plates - especially among those wealthy enough to afford luxury cars. But all of that is reportedly coming to an end, as President Xi Jinping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, is on a mission to fight corruption in his country.
A new license plate system goes into effect today, and it is designed to "maintain social harmony, stability and the reputation of the military," says the PLA Daily, the armed forces' official newspaper. While the abuse has been going on for many years, the internet has put the spotlight on the bad behavior, and the negative press does not represent the morals and true colors of the armed forces, say officials.
While military-plated Porsche drivers have been singled out as offenders, Bloomberg notes that all vehicles with engine displacements above 3.0 liters and with a sticker price in excess of about $73,000, will be banned from receiving military plates. This includes vehicles from Audi, Cadillac, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lincoln and the Volkswagen Phaeton. Even if drivers are savvy enough to circumvent the new issuing system, the military has put technology at toll gates to catch users of counterfeit plates. There has been no word on the punishment if caught.

Ford Mustang outsold Audi TT and Porsche 911 in Germany

Fri, Apr 8 2016

Despite being the antithesis of the cars Germany is known for, the new Ford Mustang was the best selling sports car in the land of schnitzel and beer last month by a whisker. The Mustang beat out the Audi TT by 780 units to 708, and it beat Germany's best known performance car, the Porsche 911, 780 to 752. That makes some sense, right? The Mustang has to be cheaper than those competitors, right? Not really. Both the EcoBoost and V8-powered Mustang have higher starting prices than the equivalent TT. The 2.3-liter, EcoBoost-powered Mustang starts at 38,000 euros (around $43,300 at today's rates), while the front-drive Audi TT starts at 35,950 euros (about $41,000). The V8-powered Mustang GT, meanwhile, starts at 43,000 euros (about $49,000), which is just 2,550 euros more than the Quattro-equipped TT. When 310 horsepower or 435 hp can be had for just a couple thousand more than 220 hp, it's easy to understand the Mustang's success. The 911, of course, is a lot more expensive than the Mustang. You can buy two Mustang GTs for the price of a single Carrera. But Ford also managed to beat out the Porsche's smaller siblings, the Boxster and Cayman twins, which sold a combined 642 vehicles. Again, the pony car is significantly cheaper, but that doesn't do much to lessen the impact of the Mustang's victory. If you're in Germany and are concerned about this American invasion, you shouldn't be (yet). The TT is Germany's best-selling sports car from January through March, with 2,299 to the Ford's 1,823. Porsche is breathing down the pony car's neck, too, with 1,811 units in 2016. It'll be interesting to see if Ford's successful March carries on into the rest of 2016. Related Video:

Porsche busts out new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS

Wed, 19 Mar 2014

Baby 911. The poor man's Porsche. That's what they called the Boxster when it debuted some 20 years ago. They said the same of the first Cayman when it arrived a decade later, but they stopped saying it when the latest iterations hit the scene two years ago. That's because Zuffenhausen's entry-level models have long since stepped out of their big brother's shadow and into their own. And that's all the more true of the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe - representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
Those disappointed by the unavailability of a manual transmission in the fire-prone 911 GT3 will be pleased to note that a six-speed manual comes standard, but those enamored of letting a pair of clutches shift themselves seamlessly will want to spring for the optional seven-speed DCT. So equipped and with launch control engaged, the Boxster GTS will rocket from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds, while the incrementally lighter, more powerful Cayman will hit it in 4.6. Either way you're looking at a third of a second quicker than the Boxster/Cayman S. There's also a 20-millimeter lowered suspension on offer for track-day enthusiasts.
