1984 Porsche 928 S Recent Paint on 2040-cars
Jasper, Georgia, United States
|
Selling my personal 1984 928S to fund the restoration of a '79 928 5 speed and an '85 928S. Super fun car to drive & turns heads everywhere I go. I've put over 3,300 issue free miles on this car. Shifts smoothly.
Painted in July, 2013. Rated a strong 8 of 10 with minor imperfections showing when you look very closely. $2200 spent on body work and paint. They missed one tiny dent on the roof behind the sunroof the size of a dime. This car was originally bronze & the door jams were not painted black. Recently reupholstered light weight Porsche Recaro front seats. Rear seat bases were removed for speakers. Needs interior restoration in hatch area. Dash is cracked, but has a custom dash cover. Very dependable with a huge stack of maintenance records, including original invoice from Porsche dealer in Alabama. Recent tune-up including plug wires & battery. This is a southern car free of rust having spent most of it's life in Alabama & Georgia. Clear issue free Georgia title in my name. OEM Porsche spare tire & jack included. Car has a few minor electrical issues. Gas gauge & engine temp gauge don't work right all the time. I fill up based on the number of miles I've driven. Climate control fan doesn't work. Power windows work, but the switches are broken and bypassed. Power locks and cruise control don't work. Stereo works fine. I installed new front door speakers, but haven't hooked them up yet. Power steering line has a small leak. $110 for a new line, or repair existing line. I have never tried to open the sunroof, as I don't want it to open & then not close. Brakes are good, but pads are approaching the point of needing replacement. Stops just fine. I drive this car on 75+ mile trips on a regular basis. Headlights open & close as they should & were painted as well. Wipers work fine. Odometer works & was replaced by the previous owner with all zeros. Documentation included. I think the total miles is right around 100,000 based on the documents. Now shows just over 3,200 miles. I drive this car regularly & it has proven to be dependable for a 30 year old car. This is a great weekend car or driver, but not a show car. It is now 30 years old. The original front lower spoiler is still there, but has a few cracks & chips. It sits very low & is vulnerable to damage. If you want a replacement, they are available & easy to replace. It has near new Rikken matching tires with great tread life left. If you want the original power seats, I will swap them back & reduce the price $500.00. I have a set of staggered 17" Porsche Carerra 5 spoke rims with Michelin Pilot (rear tires worn to tread mark) if you'd rather have them, I'll swap them out. I've taken the time to accurately describe this car, but may have missed something. I welcome inspections prior to purchase. Fly to Atlanta & drive this car home. Please understand you're bidding on a 30 year old car! If you'd like a show 928, please bid on one that is twice this price. If you want a cool driver or weekend car consider this one. Note terms of payment and abide by the terms of ebay & this auction. If you don't have any feedback, please contact me prior to bidding. This car is available for sale locally & subject to be removed from ebay prior to auction end. If you really want it, use Buy It Now feature. |

Porsche considering turbo for new GT3 RS [w/poll]
Tue, 03 Jun 2014Some automakers make one hardcore version of a sports car and are done with it. Or at least they make one at a time. Think Ferrari 458 Speciale, Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera (or Super Trofeo Stradale or Squadra Corse) or Maserati GranTurismo MC. But not Porsche. It transforms the 911 into the hard-core GT3, the even harder-core GT3 RS, the you've-got-to-be-psychotic GT2 and the do-you-have-a-death-wish GT2 RS. The RS models take things to a further extreme, but what separates GT3 from GT2 models has traditionally been the use of foced induction: GT3s are naturally aspirated, while GT2s go turbo. But that could all be about to change.
According to the rumors making their round of the webosphere, Porsche is considering using a turbocharged engine for the next GT3 RS. The reason is that, as we all know, Porsche has already pushed the 3.8-liter flat-six in the existing GT3 about as far as it can go, and then some. And buyers expect not only a more bare-bones package with the GT3 RS, but also a bit of extra power.
Given that everything seems to be going turbo these days, the move might make some measure of sense, especially if Porsche wants to avoid with the GT3 RS the spontaneous combustion issues it faced with the GT3. But we can't help but wonder why, at that point, it wouldn't just skip the GT3 RS and go straight for the GT2.
Watch the Chevy Corvette dismiss its Euro rivals at the hands of a Brit magazine
Sat, 08 Feb 2014European auto writers, especially the British, have a bit of a reputation for favoring their own domestic cars over foreign rivals in comparison tests. Just think about how many times you've heard Jeremy Clarkson deify the latest product of UK loins while denigrating an American rival as a hopeless "Yank Tank." However, we have to tip our hats to the folks at Autocar because in its latest video comparing the 2014 Corvette Stingray to the Porsche 911, Jaguar F-Type V8 S and Audi R8, it's actually given the Vette a fair shake.
Autocar has put the Stingray through a battery of tests against what it considers to be the three best sports cars on sale in Europe today. And while the tests that it has chosen are somewhat random and subjective, it has concluded that the C7 can stand up against its rivals, even irrespective of its price. It's one thing to hear about how great the Stingray is from American writers, but it's great to know that not all Brits think we've gone crazy for calling the new Chevrolet "exquisite."

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
