I bought this 1993 968 Cabriolet about 12 months ago. It had previously been owned by a women who lives in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. It had been sitting in a lot in Ft. Lauderdale for more than a year. It's was professionally detailed and cleaned up nicely. The car has only 78,500 miles on it. It is a rare green color with a black interior. It has the 3.0L engine with a 4 speed tiptronic transmission.

This Porsche is in very good mechanical shape. I recently had major engine service done to it including the timing belt, water pump, tension rollers, etc. Like many 968's that are more than 20 years old with automatic transmissions, we recently replaced the flex plate auto dampner. This is a rubber part that bolts to the flywheel. Anyone who's a 968 fan knows the expense involved in doing the engine work and transmission repair. Big bucks and big headaches you won't have to deal with. The car runs and drives great! It's fast! Service records are available since I've had the car. The service was done by a great Porsche mechanic in Miami, who only works on 928's, 944's and 968's. The oil has recently been changed. I changed out the front tires with new17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires due to dry rot. The rears are also 17 inch Kumho ECSTA tires. They are in good shape. The car is not perfect and still needs some minor work done. I'm selling the car as is.

The interior is in good shape, however with most cars more than 20 years old the seats will need to be replaced. We recently put on a new convertible top in addition to doing some work with the frame. There is some rubber molding that is missing where the doors and window meet the top. The original Porsche radio needed replacing so we put in a nice Alpine radio with blue tooth.

Cosmetically the car needs some work. The left door handle recently broke. We're working on getting a replacement. The doors and fenders are in relatively good shape. There is some damage to the lower left side right behind the left side door (see pictures). The hood needs a little bit of body work. Both head lights work and go up and down (one front picture of the car were taken before the car went into the shop for service). And the hood and trunk are showing areas of oxidation. It's probably best that the entire car needs painting.

This car is very rare. For those of you not familiar with the Porsche 968 it was an automobile sold by Porsche AG of Germany from 1991 to 1995, and marketed as the replacement for the Porsche 944. When production ceased in the 1995 model year, it represented the end of the line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the Porsche 924.

There were only a limited amount of Porsce 968's built and shipped to the states. Approximately 2000 coupes and 2000 cabriolets were imported to the United States between 1991 and 995. This color combination is very rare. Combined with the tiptronic transmission...maybe 10 in total were manufactured.

If you have any questions or want to see the car I can be reached at 561 414-8477. Only serious buyers please!

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Porsche calling in two Cayennes

Sun, Jan 4 2015

We regularly see recalls addressing all manner of problems (or potential problems) affecting any number of vehicles: hundreds, thousands, even millions. Some are too small to bother reporting, but once in a while one comes along that's so ridiculously small that we couldn't pass it over. Like this latest one from Porsche. "Due to a manufacturing error," says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the notice below, "the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque." The recall affects the 2015 Cayenne... but just how many of them, you ask? Two. Not two hundred, not two thousand, but two: one Cayenne Diesel and one Cayenne S, manufactured between November 26 and... November 27, 2014. That very well might make this the most methodically German recall in the history of recalls. If you happen to be the owner of one of those two vehicles, expect to hear from Porsche with instructions to bring your Cayenne in to have the suspension re-aligned and the screws tightened. RECALL Subject : Front and Rear Alignment may be Incorrect Report Receipt Date: DEC 29, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V824000 Component(s): SUSPENSION Potential Number of Units Affected: 2 Manufacturer: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. (Porsche) is recalling certain model year 2015 Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne S vehicles manufactured November 26, 2014, to November 27, 2014. Due to a manufacturing error, the suspension alignment on the front and rear axles may not have been performed correctly and the screw connections of the camber, toe and caster may not have been tightened with the specified torque. CONSEQUENCE: If the suspension alignment was incorrectly performed, vehicle handling could be reduced, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: Porsche will notify owners, and dealers will perform a front and rear suspension alignment, and check the screw connections for the proper torque, retightening as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification date. Owners may contact Porsche customer service at 1-800-767-7243. Porsche's number for this recall is AF04. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Charles Morgan drives a wicked air-cooled Porsche 911 GT2

Tue, Feb 2 2016

Porsche has made a fantastic array of driver's cars over the years, but few can still drum up the kind of excitement as the first 911 GT2. It launched in 1993, based (appropriately enough) on the 993-generation model to serve as a homologation special, and remains a cult classic over two decades later. So to review one, the blokes at Carfection brought in Charles Morgan, former managing director of his family's sportscar manufacturer. The 993-gen GT2 was the first of its breed, packing a 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat-six cooled by air and good for 430 horsepower, all driven to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. It had a full roll cage, plastic fenders riveted over the wider track, and... little else. It was raw, engaging, and extremely rare. Only 57 road-going examples were made, and these days they're trading hands for stupid money that only investors could afford – but could not afford to drive lest it crash into a write-off. Little wonder that Harry Metcalfe opted for a non-original example that had been brought up to GT2 spec in the aftermarket, and that's what Mr. Morgan is driving here as well. That may make it less authentic, but it still looks like a blast to drive along twisting country roads. See for yourself in the eight-minute clip above, brought to you by the same chaps who used to make the Xcar videos. Related Video:
