1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet

Polar Silver, Medium Gray Leather Interior, Black Convertible Top, 40,500 miles, see Options Sticker Photo - Absolutely no work required on this car

This car is in immaculate condition (as evidenced by the photos) and is near concours condition (if not already).  I have owned it for the past 15 years (I’m the second owner) and have put less than 6,000 miles on it.   It has been garaged and stored in winters and has not even been driven in the rain since I bought it.  No one has driven it but me as I had planned on keeping it forever but as most Porsche owners experience, space has run out as I have 3 Porsches now.  This was my first 968 after owning four 944s (which were my daily drivers).  I’ve been a PCA member for over 25 years and truly appreciate these cars.  This one is an outstanding color combination and has been meticulously maintained.

It is completely original except for:

·         B&B Cat Back Exhaust – Stainless Steel – cost over $1600.00

·         Gemballa 3 Piece Wheels with Yokohama Performance Tires with less than 3000 miles (see photos) – cost over $6000.00

·         Professionally installed sound system (ABT Electronics) – Kenwood Head unit, Xtant Amplifier, MB Quart 2-Way, 4 Piece speakers with crossovers, low pass filters, high-end wires – cost over $4000.00

I still have the original Cup Wheels with Yokohama tires, original head unit and the original cat back exhaust and muffler all in great shape.

Mechanicals:

·         Complete tuning with all new fluids: engine, transmission, antifreeze, etc. less than 2000 miles ago

·         Distributor cap, wires and thermostat have less than 5000 miles

·         New timing chain (preventative due to age) at 38,000 miles

·         Brakes have less than 7000 miles on them and bearings were repacked at the same time

·         Only Mobil 1 synthetic oil utilized since my acquisition

·         Engine and mechanicals (other than exhaust) are 100% original.  There have been no breakdowns or repairs made to this engine or drive train other than preventative. 

The car runs phenomenal, it sounds amazing with the B&B, the transmission is outstanding and overall this car is an 11 out of 10.

Exterior:

The entire vehicle is original with no body work, no paint, no fading and there are no dings anywhere.  There are 2 small stone chips on the hood that can easily be repaired.  The wheels flawless as they are brand new and tires still have the nubs as they have less than 3000 miles on them.  The black convertible top is still like new with no fading, no tears and no leaks.  Like most all cabs, the back vinyl window, while not faded, has surface scratches that can be buffed out.  The electric convertible top mechanism works perfect.

Interior:

The medium grey leather sport seat interior is outstanding with no scuffs, tears, abrasions and limited to no creases.  The dashboard is perfect with no cracks.  I had custom seat covers made for the car (see photos) which have been on the car at all times to protect the leather seats.  The covers are a waterproof wetsuit material and will come with the car.  All of the lights, gauges and electronics are in perfect working order.  As noted above, I had a professionally installed, high-end sound system put into the car (which I will sorely miss).  See photos.

Other:

Please email me with any questions.   As a long time PCA member and long time EBay member with 100% rating, I value honesty and integrity.  The car is listed elsewhere across the US and so I reserve the right to terminate the auction at any time.  Test drives only for serious bidders.  Although it goes without saying, so there's no confusion, this vehicle is being sold "as-is".  Verbal agreements on price / purchase must be followed up via payment on a priority basis or other buyers may take precedence.  I have many additional photos if desired.

The vehicle is located in a northwest suburb of Chicago 10 minutes from O'Hare airport.  I will provide transportation to/from O'Hare for visits but the buyer will need to arrange for pickup/shipping of the vehicle at his/her own expense.  A $500 deposit via PayPal is due within 48 hours of the end of the auction with no exceptions and I will reject the winning bid if that deposit is not made on time.  Balance of purchase price is due with seven (7) days of the end of the auction. 

 Thank you very much for looking!!!

 

 

 


On Oct-16-13 at 12:01:13 PDT, seller added the following information:

I'm so confident that this vehicle is better than its description that if for any reason the winning bidder is not completely satisfied with this vehicle upon inspection, I will promptly refund his/her deposit without question.

Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid gets $3,400 price cut in Canada

Tue, Nov 10 2015

It's about $2,560 to you and me, pilgrim. Porsche is cutting the price of its Panamera S E-Hybrid by $3,400 for our neighbors to the north. In US dollars, that's a haircut of about $2,560. Of course, the premium SUV plug-in hybrid is no bargain, even in Canadian dollars. The sticker price now comes in at C$106,000 for the parallel plug-in hybrid. Granted, the car is a beast, and represents one heck of an effort for the German luxury-vehicle maker to hop aboard the green-car train, however little sales they derive from it. The model delivers 416 horsepower from its V6 gas-powered engine and electric motor. So while that's good for a fuel-economy rating (here in the States, at least) of 50 miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe), the car also has a top speed of 167 miles per hour. Think Montreal to Toronto in two hours and change, if the roads are empty. And not frozen. And have no speed limit. Stateside, the plug-in Panamera has been selling in pretty low volumes. The model, including the gas-powered version, moved about 4,200 units through the first 10 months of the year, or about 10 percent of Porsche's total. Through October, sales of the plug-in only were down 55 percent from a year earlier to just 358 units, so one shouldn't expect a flood of them to be sold because of the three-percent discount. Still, a price cut certainly beats a snowshoe to the head. Take a look at Porsche's press release below. Porsche Canada realigns pricing of its plug-in premium sports sedan 2016 Panamera S E-Hybrid now starts at $106,600 MISSISSAUGA, ON, Nov. 9, 2015 /CNW/ - Porsche Canada announced today that it had lowered the starting price of the Panamera S E-Hybrid for 2016 model year, effective immediately. The first plug-in hybrid vehicle in the luxury segment will now be offered starting at $106,600 – a reduction of $3,400 compared to the 2015 model year. This adjustment effectively brings the price in alignment with that of the Panamera S. Now, the Panamera S E-Hybrid represents an even more compelling choice in the segment, offering such quintessential Porsche traits as style, performance, quality, and impressive efficiency of its advanced powertrain. The hybrid tradition at Porsche extends back to the year 1899 and to the Lohner Porsche – the world's first vehicle to have a battery-powered electric drive as well as a combustion engine, which was designed and built by Ferdinand Porsche.

VW may move production because of Russia's cutoff of natural gas

Sun, Sep 25 2022

Volkswagen AG is exploring ways to counter a shortage in natural gas, including shifting production around its network of global facilities, signaling how the energy crisis unleashed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine threatens to upend EuropeÂ’s industrial landscape. Volkswagen, EuropeÂ’s biggest carmaker, said Thursday that reallocating some of its production was one of the options available in the medium term if gas shortages last much beyond this winter. The company has major factories in Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which are among European countries most reliant on Russian gas, as well as facilities in southern Europe that source energy from elsewhere. “As mid-term alternatives, we are focusing on greater localization, relocation of manufacturing capacity, or technical alternatives, similar to what is already common practice in the context of challenges related to semiconductor shortages and other recent supply chain disruptions,” Geng Wu, VolkswagenÂ’s head of purchasing, said in a statement.  RussiaÂ’s decision to throttle gas supplies to Europe has raised concerns that Germany might be forced to ration its fuel. Recent news that gas storage levels hit 90% ahead of schedule has soothed fears of acute shortages this winter, but Germany faces a challenge in replenishing depleted reserves next summer without contributions from Russia. Southwestern Europe or coastal zones of northern Europe, both of which have better access to seaborne liquefied natural gas cargoes, could be the beneficiaries of any production shift, a Volkswagen spokesman said by phone. The Volkswagen group already operates car factories in Portugal, Spain and Belgium, countries that host LNG terminals. Labor hurdles To be sure, any major production shift away from EuropeÂ’s biggest economy would face significant hurdles. VW has some 295,000 employees in Germany and worker representatives account for around half the companyÂ’s 20-member supervisory board. Any shift in production would likely involve a limited number of vehicles rather than wholesale factory shutdowns. While gas supplies for VWÂ’s plants are currently secured, the company has identified potential savings at its European sites to cut gas consumption by a “mid-double-digit percentage,” said Michael Heinemann, managing director of VWÂ’s power-plant unit. Still, the carmaker said it was concerned about the effect high gas prices could have on its suppliers.

12 new cars that will never go out of style

Tue, Nov 23 2021

Some cars never go out of style. It’s rare, but it happens. They get old. They get depreciated. But they never stop looking cool.  Some might call them modern or instant classics. Within a few years theyÂ’re no longer the latest and greatest, no longer the flavor of the month, but they remain special. Eternally special. Timeless.  These cars arenÂ’t necessarily going to be worth a fortune someday. However, some may not depreciate as rapidly or as far as other models. But thatÂ’s not what weÂ’re talking about here. These are the cars that enthusiasts will always find desirable from the curbside. TheyÂ’re the cars you end up shopping on eBay late at night 10 years later because you canÂ’t get them out of your head. TheyÂ’re the cars that will forever excite you when you spot a clean one in traffic or in a parking lot.  There are plenty of recent examples over the past couple of decades that could count as instant design classics. But then we got to thinking, what 2021 models will be forever cool to stare at? Which new cars and trucks on sale today will we be shopping on eBay late at night in the 2030s? We kept supercars and other ultra-expensive cars off the list to keep things within the realm of attainability, and ended up with 12 total cars. Lexus LC WeÂ’re not applying a numerical ranking to any of the cars on this list, but if we were, the Lexus LC would be No. 1. There isnÂ’t another car design out there that can stir our emotions the way an LC can when itÂ’s just standing still. This car is a concept design come true in the most beautiful of ways, and itÂ’s a shoo-in winner for Concours events decades into the future. All of this heaping praise, and we havenÂ’t even gotten to the LC 500Â’s intoxicating 5.0-liter V8. It doesnÂ’t win drag races. It wonÂ’t be the fastest around the track against any similarly-priced competition. But none of that matters. ItÂ’s quite possibly the best car you can buy new, and that says it all when it comes to the LC. Chevrolet Corvette It might not be the stunner that the Lexus LC is, but the new C8 Corvette is and will always be a special vehicle. ItÂ’s the first mid-engine Corvette, which instantly cements it into an automotive hall of fame section of sorts. All of the performance stats and specs are there to back up its supercar-like looks, and it remains the best performance bargain on sale today.
