1991 Porsche 944 S2 Coupe 2-door 3.0l on 2040-cars
Cottage Grove, Minnesota, United States
For sale is a very presentable '944 S2 that has been my summer daily driver for the past several years. Not a concours show car, but a useable car to be proud of. 1991 was the final year of 944 production. The S2 engine option is about 35% more powerful than a NA version. 510 S2s were imported into the U.S. in 1991. This particular car had an MSRP of $45459. The Titanium Metallic paint was a $765 option. Included with the car is the original jack & handle, original air pump in the original case, the first aid kit, original plastic gloves, the complete original tool kit in its case, the owners manual & warranty book in its leather binder, the original window sticker, the original never-mounted space-saver spare tire/wheel, the original cargo cover & sunroof case, a fitted car cover and a service manual CD. I believe everything on the car (A/C, heater, power seats, windows, locks, sunroof,alarm, mirrors etc. work, but the cruise control sometimes takes a few tries before it engages. Once engaged, it functions properly. The car has had regular oil changes (Mobil 1) and the timing and balance belts were changed at 135K. Cosmetically, the car is good to excellent. No flaws are obvious in a walk-around. I think it's far better than a 20 footer. The interior shows good carpet with Porsche floormats, but the drivers seat bottom has a small tear in an inconspicuous place (near the seat back) and a small seam separation. The dash shows a few small cracks, but no separations. Though not a show car, this car is much too nice to become a track car and is a very pleasant driver. Delivery will be the buyer's responsibility, but if one chooses to fly & drive I will be happy to make a pick up at the Mpls/St. Paul airport. Please contact me with questions and bid high & often.

Porsche 911 and Citro"en DS lovechild would look like this
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The early Porsche 911 and the Citroën DS were two cars produced in the same era (though the DS launched in 1955, nearly 10 years before the 911), but they were vastly different from each other. The 911 was a uniquely German, pure-bred sports car, while the French-built DS had four doors and focused more on ride quality than sporting intentions. That made it all the more surprising when we came across the 911DS, a creation that binds the rear half of the Citroën to the front of an early, longhood 911.
The folks at Brandpowder are behind the creation, which we surmise was an exercise in design rather than an actual, completed project (some of the images look Photoshopped), but it's compelling nonetheless, with a turbocharged flat-six providing 260 horsepower. We hope someone builds it - though we're sure if that happened the early 911 crowd would cry afoul at one of its increasingly rare and valuable Porsches being grafted onto an old French car.
But as Brandpowder points out lightheartedly, perhaps the creation could transcend popular car culture: "The 911DS represents the effort of two countries, a genuine attempt to join their energy and talent into one thing. We hope Germany and France will be inspired by Brandpowder's story, as a metaphor for a better and greater Europe."
Automakers paying Chinese dealers for lower-than-expected sales
Sat, Jan 10 2015The Chinese dealers vs. foreign manufacturers story won't quit. It began with a story on the struggles faced by FAW-Toyota joint venture dealers, with supposedly 95 percent of the showrooms losing money, and 10 percent of them doing so poorly that they'd have to exit the business. The problem is mandated sales targets, most set when the country's economy was racing. Now that things have slowed, China's dealers are swimming in unsold cars and the costs to keep them. In the case of FAW-Toyota, dealers asked Toyota to hand over 2.2 billion yuan ($355 million) to help address the situation. That was followed by a report noting the issues that Honda, BMW, and Nissan dealers are having with the same issue, revealing that the Chinese Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) had taken the highly unusual step of writing to the Chinese government to complain. Now Reuters reports that CADA is not only pressing its case even harder, it's being open about it: it announced that BMW agreed to pay dealers 5.1 billion yuan ($820 million) to alleviate poor profits last year. Unnamed sources said Audi has thrown 2 billion yuan into the kitty for subsidies, and Daimler has contributed "about 1 billion yuan" to its dealers. The battle isn't just about 2014, but how business will be run in 2015 as well: Chinese Porsche dealers have requested the automaker lower its 2015 target of 64,000 cars, which would be a 40-percent increase on its 2014 sales of 46,931 vehicles. One analyst called it "shocking" that the CADA has taken its fight public, while CADA comments continue to imply that dealers have been railroaded to the cliff's edge without recourse. "Due to the difference in status," it's deputy secretary said, "individual dealers are not willing to, or don't dare to, talk frankly with the carmakers...." Both parties need one another, so they'll figure out a way to make it work – but that could mean acknowledging the Chinese market is behaving more like a mature one, not an emerging one.
