I purchased this car on September 2013. The previous owner had the car in New Jersey since 2001. He purchased it used with 83,952 miles. The prior owner had it from new but I don’t have that history. It was purchased new in Massachusetts.
Both owners were enthusiasts and took very good care of the car. All the regular maintenance has been performed. Mechanics No known issues. The car runs good. Smooth idle, no smoke, no odd noises or clunks, no leaks. Good acceleration and performance. The car was maintained by Powertech in Rockaway, New Jersey where the timing belt and water pump were replaced in October of 2012.
Body The car has not suffered any severe damage. The previous owner said there were two minor accidents requiring body work. The repairs were done professionally and are not noticeable. In October 2013 I had the rear quarter windows and rubber seals replaced along with the windshield. The windshield was showing some slight pitting and the rear quarter windows had some spots that would not come off. The rear section from the door back were repainted along with the front and rear bumpers which had some dings. The work was done by Sports Car Collision in Ferndale Michigan, one of the best body shops in the country. The paint match was spot on and the work looks great. The rest of the body and paint is in good shape for a 20 year old car. It’s not perfect. On a scale of 1-10 I’d give it a 7. Hatch struts work fine. Front spoiler is not cracked or broken.
Interior No tears or cracks in any of the leather. Leather is still soft and looks great. No cracks in the dash. There’s a screw hole in the side of the console where the PO mounted an early cell phone but it’s not too noticeable. The luggage cover is starting to fade but the elastic is still good. The carpet is in good shape with no stains but it is starting to look old. There’s one of those tube subwoofers and an amp mounted on the rear deck. It sounds good but takes up space. It has Pioneer speakers which all work fine. All the interior lights work as they should. The new Clarion NX503 has rear camera capability but there is no camera.
I like this 93 GTS and would keep it but my expanding business leaves no room to keep it or time to enjoy driving it. I have a 1991 928 S4 that I plan to keep and tinker with.
I’ve tried to be upfront on the condition of the car but I’m sure they’ll be questions. I can be contacted via email bob@classic9leathershop.com
The car is available for inspection in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. A Pre Purchase Inspection is welcome but you’ll have to make your own arrangements. Serious inquiries only. I am not interested in any trades, investments, or business opportunities |

Porsche reportedly working on new turbocharged flat-four boxer engine?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013These days, we've seen just about every automaker dropping cylinders in an effort to appease tightening fuel economy and emission standards - and Porsche is no exception. Nearly three years after introducing an all-new V6 powerplant under the front hood of its Panamera sedan (launched with a range of V8 engines) comes word that Porsche is working on an all-new turbocharged flat-four boxer to replace the flat-six engines mid-mounted in its Cayman and Boxster models.
Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six (shown above) found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm. Initial indications say that Porsche will only offer the new engine with its seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, tuned to take advantage of the low-end torque, but a traditional six-speed manual gearbox has not been ruled out. Despite the loss of two cylinders, enthusiasts will likely embrace the new engine as it promises to be lighter, more fuel efficient and more powerful than the 2.7-liter and 3.4-liter sixes in the Cayman/Boxster today.
Even though Porsche has been using Volkswagen Group engines for years (e.g., Cayenne V6, Cayenne Diesel and upcoming Macan), all indications are that the new flat-four will not be shared. Instead, it will be kept in-house for the automaker's sports cars and possible future fitment in an entry-level 911.
Roger Rodas' widow suing Porsche over Carrera GT crash
Tue, 13 May 2014
Investigations undertaken by local law enforcement may have vindicated Porsche from any wrongdoing in the crash that killed actor Paul Walker and racing driver Roger Rodas last year, but the latter's widow is apparently not convinced. According to emerging reports, Kristine Rodas has filed a lawsuit seeking unspecified damages from Porsche Cars North America.
In her suit filed with the Los Angeles Superior Court, Rodas' attorney Mark Geragos reportedly disputes the findings of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which asserted that the vehicle was traveling at an unsafe speed of 90 miles per hour on city streets, identifying the speed as the cause of the accident. Instead the lawsuit claims that the vehicle was only going 55 mph and that the cause of the crash was improper equipment - namely a faulty right rear suspension and the lack of a crash cage and proper fuel tank.
Car companies may need to start curbing model proliferation
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Looking at the current automotive landscape, especially from German makers, you quickly get the impression that less definitely isn't more. BMW alone offers its 3 Series platform in practically every segment possible, including the regular sedan and 4 Series Gran Coupe, which would seem to be direct competitors. Porsche might be the winner, though, with 20 different variants of the 911 listed for sale on its US website. However, some of this model madness might be reaching an end as companies begin cutting back spending or shifting money to other priorities.
According to Yahoo Finance, the offerings from the German automakers are up 25 percent over the past three years to over 200 models in Europe. The peak is expected to come around 2018 at 230 separate vehicles, according to consulting company PwC.
Amazingly, BMW, which is among the poster children for this model explosion, might be changing its tune. "I'm sure there will be points in the future where we look at certain cars and say, 'Maybe we need to think differently now,'" said head of sales Ian Robertson in an interview, according to Yahoo Finance. The statement certainly sounds shocking coming from a company rumored to have 23 front-wheel-drive vehicles all using a single platform on the way.
