This is a stock 1989 944 S2 with 79,808 original miles. This car is in great shape inside and out. All service records have been saved. Timing belt, water pump and clutch replaced at 69,000mi. Tires are in excellent shape and are Michelin primacy. The car comes with adjustable Koni front suspension, new rear shocks. New fuel line , hose, fuel pump and filter. K&N air filter, Radiator hose replaced. New ignition wires, spark plugs and distributer. Transmission fluid changed, CAM CHAIN TENSIONER PADS REPLACED (this is very important). Dansk Stainless exhaust with new high flow catalytic converter (nice upgrade to OEM exhaust sounds great, not obnoxious). New front high performance brakes and rotors. Coverking car cover included. Everything in the car works except you cannot open the hatch back using the key, but the switch in the front opens it just fine. I just never took the time to replace the microswitch in the back. It is a simple and cheap fix. The car runs extremely smooth. It does not burn or leak oil. It amazes me how clean the oil is on the dipstick! It has the original Blaupunkt stereo. AC works great and the compressor has been replaced. The car likley had a front passanger fender bender because the bumper and hood are not in perfect alignment. It can be fixed, but it really is not that noticable. I just want to disclose everything up front so there are no unwanted surprises. The car was repainted in 2005. It is a very nice job. I bought the car as a play toy, but I have way to many toys!

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans
Tue, 27 Aug 2013How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.
Audi RS7 vs. Porsche Panamera Turbo, which would you pick? [w/poll]
Wed, 08 Jan 2014We live in a blessed time - a time when you can buy not just one, but two (or three, or four) monstrously powerful, blazingly fast four-doors that can't only keep up with modern supercars, but in some instances, will outperform them as well. Two of the finest are the Audi RS7 and the refreshed Porsche Panamera Turbo, and Motor Trend has been messing around with the both of them in this comparison video.
MT provides a comprehensive and entertaining look at the RS7 and the turbocharged Panamera as they go through a battery of tests, before getting tossed about on both the road and the track. Starring flip-flop aficionado Jonny Lieberman, it's a must-watch, whether you're in the market for one of the two super sedans or merely want to see the former Autoblog editor again.
After having a look at the video, register a vote for the car you'd park in your driveway in our poll. Hop below for the full video from the team at Motor Trend.

This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale.
The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014.
