This is a really nice 968 with 91,000k. 


What is good. 

This car is a two family car. Original owner was a doctor in California. He passed away and left the car to his daughter and she sold it to my father IN 2003. The car has always been stored inside a garage. The body is very nice. I would give it a 9 out of 10. The only problems are small chips of a 21 year old car. Pictures show chips. The interior is even better. The seats are black leather and could not be better for the age. I removed the original tape deck and installed a touch screen with navigation. I still have the original parts if you like it original. The engine runs perfect and is strong. This car is an automatic. The tires are 85%. This is a great 1992 Porsche 968! You will have a hard time finding a car 21 years old that is this nice. NADA guide says this car is worth $9200 - $17,300. Look it up. I think it is a 8 or 9 out of 10. I'm starting the bidding at $8,900 with a reserve at $9000. I'm only selling this Porsche because I have a 3 car storage space and I have 4 cars at the moment. I just bought a new toy. Someone is going to get a good deal on a nice car. $500 down within 24 hours the end of bidding. I will be happy to assist with shipping for an out of town buyer. Shipping or pick up is at the cost of the buyer.
 
What is bad. 

The car has small chips in the paint. I show chips in the pictures. There are only a few. The "Check Break Pads" light has been on for years even though the pads have been changed. Im not sure if the light is broken or if the light was not reset when fixed. The drivers side interior door has a small rip in the leather. Maybe one inch or less and has a glue patch. Its not getting worse. The biggest problem with the car in my opinion is that the drivers side seat, electric seat does not move back. The seats have 6 way controls and only the seat "back" doesn't work. This was never an issue for me because I was the only person who drove it and I never had to move it. I know the motor to move the seat back still works because its the same motor that move it forward and that works fine.Im sure its just the wiring but I haven't messed with it. That is really all I can think of. 

This has been a great car in the 10 years or so we have had it in our family. It would make a good Sunday car for cruising or an everyday driver.

Volkswagen Group's Vision 2030 strategy could bring revolution to the brands

Sat, May 11 2019

One would expect a corporate plan called "Vision 2030," looking 11 years ahead through wildly tumultuous times, to involve great change and numerous forks in numerous roads. According to Automobile's breakdown of Volkswagen's path forward, though, the plans contain some lurid potential surprises. The ultimate aim is return on investment, and that means ruthless reorganization of a conglomerate with eight primary car brands, two car sub-brands, and Ducati motorcycles. The first two Vision 2030 cornerstones Automobile mentions are near boilerplate: Production network restructuring, and "streamlining of key technologies." The latter two are the ones that could upend what we know as the Volkswagen Group: focusing on the Group's core brands — meaning Audi, Porsche, and VW — and transitioning to EVs, autonomy, and other mobility solutions. Based on the report, a quote from Audi's CTO referring to the Audi brand could cover how the Group plans to handle all of its brands: "We need to find a sustainable solution for the indefinite transition period until EVs eventually take over." The boutique divisions adjacent to carmaking, Ducati and Italdesign, look likely to be spun off. For the halo car brands — Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini — apparently shareholders want double-digit returns on investment, and the trio doesn't have long to hit the target. One eyebrow raiser is when the report states, "Bugatti is tipped to be gifted to [ex-VW Group Chairman] Ferdinand Piech." Piech fathered the Veyron during his tenure at VW, and it was thought he commissioned the La Voiture Noire, but he's lately stepped so far back from VW that he sold all his shares in the Group. Automobile quoted a senior strategist as saying of money-losing Bentley, "Why invest on a backward-looking enterprise when you can support a trendsetter? A proud history and excellent craftmanship alone don't cut it anymore." We guess no one at Ferrari, McLaren, or even Porsche got that memo. Bentley is reportedly close to being put in time out, and if brand CEO Adrian Hallmark can't right the Crewe ship, the hush-hush Plan B is to prop the Flying B up enough to lure a buyer. As for Lamborghini, caught between two masters at Audi and Porsche, even record-breaking numbers at the Italian supercar maker barely staved off sacrilege. It's said that VW brand CEO Herbert Diess considered putting a 5.0-liter Porsche V8 into the Aventador successor.

'Latest production version' of Porsche 918 shown off on Twitter

Fri, 16 Aug 2013

Porsche posted a picture of what it is calling "the latest production version" of the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder on Twitter. It looks like the gasoline-hybrid supercar is being driven sportively on some California back roads during Monterey Speed Week.
Whatever updates were made to this version aren't visual (except for the paint), as the one Chris Harris drove last spring and another seen hot-weather testing in Nevada both had production bodies. We presume the changes are relatively minor and more than skin deep - perhaps brake calibration, suspension tuning or tweaks to the powertrain - but Porsche didn't release any more information.
The 918 Spyder is Porsche's latest supercar, which will compete with the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1 hybrid supercars. The Porsche may be the underdog of the group when considering horsepower, acceleration, top speed and price, but the 887-horsepower brute has the most advanced hybrid drivetrain of the three.

Porsche sells 919 Hybrid mockup for $100k on eBay

Mon, Jun 29 2015

Want to spend $100k on a new Porsche? Your local dealership will gladly sell you a new 911, Panamera, or Cayenne in the right trim level and spec, with all the right boxes ticked. But one buyer in Singapore recently spent that on a Porsche he (or she) couldn't even drive. The non-functional vehicle in question was a full-scale replica of the 919 Hybrid – just like the ones that just took a one-two finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Only this one was based on the 2014 spec that brought Porsche back to the forefront of endurance sportscar racing. Oh, and it has no running gear - electric or conventional. Porsche made a baker's dozen of these replicas to serve as showpieces and development models where a fully functional example wouldn't be needed. They're seldom sold, but Porsche Asia Pacific was given the green light to auction one off. Proceeds went towards charities helping disadvantaged children and the disabled. The fortunate collector ended up paying precisely $106,100 – that's in US dollars, not Singapore's – on eBay for the opportunity to put an all but completely authentic 919 Hybrid in his garage. Said collector won't be able to drive it, of course, but unless he was put through the kind of training that Mark Webber and Nico Hulkenberg have been, we doubt it'd be of much use anyway. And that's assuming Porsche were ever convinced to part with one of its high-tech, all conquering prototypes, which it likely won't for many years to come.
