944s usually come in one of two categories: the 0 mile $20,000 cream puff that you might see being trailered to the Concours and the 200,000 mile $3,000 used, abused and molested type you might see doing burnouts in the Taco Bell parking lot after school. This one is from that rare third category: clean, well cared for, usable and with reasonable mileage. This car has spent its entire adult-owned life garaged in Southern California and Colorado and is completely rust free. I'm selling it because I haven't enjoyed it in years anyway and recent financial issues are forcing me to pay off an old student loan- and because the license plate fees are due again and I don't want to pay them.
WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- Super clean inside and out
- 119,800 professionally maintained miles
- Unlike just about every other 944 in the world, this one has a front spoiler and fog lamps that haven't been destroyed by dips & parking blocks
- Fresh ignition system tune up
- Passed strict Southern California emissions test with flying colors in 2007 and has barely been driven since
- Over 50% remaining on all brake linings
- Stationary race style headlamp fixtures, the factory pop-up lamps are included but will require touch up and installation (see photos)
- Battery is less than 1 year old and hasn't even been hooked up yet
- Tires only have about 100 burnout free miles on them
- 1985 1/2 designation makes it a 1985 model year with the 1986-1993 interior features, dashboard and gauges
- Rare factory option "Sport" front power seats with large side bolsters, like 911 Carrera models. The front seats have a fresh upholstery job
- Professionally installed short shift kit
- High power stereo system with hidden amplifier and brand new Blaupunkt CD deck with remote and Ipod port neatly hidden in center console
- Removable/ tiltable power roof panel
- Very dark professional window tint
- Power windows
- Power mirrors
- Power sunroof/ removable roof
- Still has that new Porsche smell, believe it or not
- Factory cruise control that still works just fine
- Factory alarm option (key is missing)
- 15" "Phone Dial" wheels with locks/ key
- Hood and hatch struts still actually work
- Very tight suspension and excellent handling
- Original, unused spare tire, compressor and tools included
- Comes with clean, clear title, original headlamps/hardware, Hayne's manual, owner's manual packet in near mint condition and even an expensive official Porsche factory service manual on CD ROM
- Paint is still very glossy and is about an 8.5/10 (dusty in photos)
- Interior condition is a 9/10
WHAT'S NOT GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- There is a 3" dent in the nose panel, not real deep or noticeable, but it drove me crazy. I was going to replace the panel with a new vented panel. See photos
- The sunroof is totally functional, but the switch is stubborn sometimes
- I would recommend replacement of fluids, they've got less than 100 miles of use, but haven't been changed in about 5 years
- The fuse/relay block got water intrusion at some point before I owned it and sometimes needs a good whack- usually not an issue, new blocks are available
- The transmission input center bearing makes noise when cruising without load. Its not an immediate problem, but will require replacement in the near future- a common 944 issue
- Factory A/C needs R134 retrofit to be practical and usable
- Glove box catch and light fixture are missing
- Hood latch needs alignment
NOTE: in the close up photo of the right rear corner, it looks like a white wishbone shaped scuff near the side marker, but its actually only the reflection of a white step stool in the garage.
That's about as thorough a description as I can come up with. Its not 100% perfect, but a very nice old Porsche at a reasonable price and the things it could use are relatively minor. I'm hoping to sell the car to a fellow experienced antique sports car enthusiast or collector who knows what it is, why it deserves respect, how to treat it and how to take care of it. Please, if you're not completely clear as to what it takes to properly care for a 30 year old Porsche, this probably isn't the car for you.

We'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.

Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.

As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.
