I purchased 2007 Porsche Cayman S in mint-condition in April 2013 from the Mercedes Benz of Pompano but am forced to sell due to a job relocation and the need now for an SUV.

The paint is in excellent condition, save for some minor, contained road rash on the front bumper. The powertrain (transmission, drivetrain, etc.) runs smoothly and without a single issue, known or otherwise. The interior is pristine with no tears in the leather or cracks in the dash.

There are but two small dents on the rear, right quarter panel just above the wheel well - none are present along the clean lines of the sides; and, the Tire Pressure Control System (TPCS) sensors are in need of battery replacement, as verified by the dealership service representatives. So far, these are the only "defects" that came with the vehicle when inspected and purchased. (The headliner was beginning to sag, but the dealership had it replaced before it was driven off the lot.) The standard Porsche User Manual is, of course, in the compartment; but, do note that I received only one key to the car.

While in my ownership, the audio system (Sound Package Plus) has further degraded, and the spring in the spring-loaded hinge that retracts the pilot door handle has slipped - i.e. rendering a loose handle. The car has always been meticulously cared for (in accordance with the full Carfax provided at the time of sale), has never been tracked or over-revved/red-lined, and is completely stock. Since nothing has ever been done to it, as far as factory-installed options are concerned, this Cayman S boasts the Sport Chrono Package w/o PCM, Sport Package 6-Speed plus PASM, Sound Package Plus (terrible, by any measure), and 19" Turbo Wheels. A quick internet look-up will describe these options. The car's exterior is Speed Yellow, as are the factory-painted calipers, and the interior is the Stone Grey Leather. New Michelin P Zero tires were installed by the dealership before purchase, so there is considerable tread left. Though I've had it routinely washed and monitored, this Cayman was my only car as reflected by the posted mileage. For better or for worse, the miles I put on it came from a combination of highway and city driving, which in itself has its merits - trivial road rash despite the association paint pitting has with highway driving, the normal strain of the stop-and-go traffic but without that posed by routine highway "leadfootedness."

I must sell a/s/a/p. Queries will be answered at my earliest convenience, and the purchaser will have to arrange for pick-up/delivery. I am a respected, trustworthy professional, and I'll do my sincerest best to make this transaction as swiftly and painless as possible. Keep in mind that my bank provides a window of 7-10 days for the payment to be processed, paid-in-full letter issued, and the title to be made transferable. Feel free to reach me via "Ask seller a question" or call/text 954-655-7254, should you have any questions or wish to schedule a viewing. (I'll admit, I'm able to respond much more freely/quickly through e-mail; regardless, you will in no instance be in the dark.) Thank you very much for your interest.

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.Â The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

1950s car ads are timeless

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.

Porsche engine wizard Wolfgang Hatz resigns

Tue, May 3 2016

Wolfganag Hatz has resigned from his position as Member of the Porsche Executive Board with responsibility for Research and Development. He has held that title since 2011. Hatz's storied career came to an abrupt end in September when he was suspended pending investigation into the Volkswagen diesel scandal. Before the Porsche job, Hatz was the head of engine and powertrain development for the Volkswagen Group. It has been alleged that he is at the center of the investigation into the company cheating on emissions testing, but so far there has been no direct link made to him, according to Porsche's announcement today. Hatz has worked at a variety of European automakers, including Audi, BMW, Opel, and Fiat. He is considered the father of the BMW S14 engine, which powered the E30 M3, and also developed the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 3.8. He was also very involved in Porsche's motorsports efforts, including the recent return to the prototype class and a short-lived F1 V12 engine project. Ulrich Hackenberg, most recently VW's lead engineer and a board member at Audi, was also suspended at the same time as Hatz and resigned shortly thereafter. It's not clear why Hatz waited so long to do the same, but Porsche claims his resignation was voluntary. Michael Steiner has been named Hatz's replacement as head of Porsche R&D. Steiner has been with Porsche since 2002 and seems like a forward-thinking sort, having headed the innovation and concepts division, lead Panamera development, and, most recently, been in charge of complete vehicle engineering. Prior to his time at Porsche, Steiner held positions at Daimler. The change in leadership is effective immediately. Related Video:
