No Reserve: Two Owners, Parked In Storage 19 Years. Never Restored,112,831 Miles on 2040-cars
Fall Creek, Wisconsin, United States
Winning Bidder of the auction (when listed two weeks ago) claimed wife had seizures the night before the auction ended and so he was distraught and could not follow through with the purchase. Then a few days later he offered me $1000 instead of what he had bid for the closing bid (almost $4000) (His reasoning was because he would have to buy an airline ticket to come and pick up the car)...his user name is ncgems57, he will be blocked from bidding on any future auctions. The Porsche 928 won the European Car of the Year award for
1978, It came with aluminum doors which were galvanized for protection. Porsche
upgraded the V8 engine to the 295 Horsepower engine in 1980, this has always
been what created the name in performance for Porsche. If you read any of the
blogs of 928 owners, they all say it is simply an amazing car, with amazing
handling, and amazing speed. This Porsche originally sold for $37,930 Low Retail (by NADA standards) is $8,100 Average Retail is $11,400 While High Retail is $15,200 In its current condition this car is between Low and
Average Pricing by NADA standards. A new owner will NOT be disappointed! This car’s details: This is a beautiful 1980 928 Porsche that is still original,
never having undergone a restoration. The car has had two titled owners, with
the second buyer purchasing the car in 1985 and then changing the color from
Porsche brown to Porsche red. It was done very professionally which is still
apparent. Please note, there are some waterspots in the pictures, it had just rained shortly before I took them. Those are not flaws in the paint. Electric Windows & Seats & Locks. The Porsche has been parked inside storage now for almost 20
years, and is in excellent condition…but of course cannot be expected to be in
perfect condition. I will attempt to list the flaws I have found. First of all,
the car will require a new exhaust system (but truly sounds fantastic without
it). The car starts and runs would expect, before it would start the fuel pump
had to be changed from being stored for so long. It goes down the road just as
would be expected, and stops without problems…the headlights even go up and
down as would expected. The only four things that I can find that it needs
mechanically (besides the exhaust) would be better clean up under the hood to
include either cleaning or adding an additional spring to the throttle. Most of
the time it will pull back all of the way when you let it off the gas, but
sometimes it doesn't travel that last 1/8th of an inch for 15-20
seconds. The passenger window also doesn't go down (Electric windows, driver’s
works great). The electric antennae will also have to be replaced when a stereo
is added, there is no stereo currently. I do not remember if it has AC, I think
it does, but I know it is not charged, and I did not see the tach work when I drove it. As for the body as you can see in the pictures this car is
very clean…the only actual rust spot I could find is a dime size spot below the
rear window on the driver’s side. I also took pictures of the bottom of the
driver’s door which looks as if there eventually might be some paint peeling…the
door is galvanized, so I do not think it is due to rust, and the bottom of the
door is extremely clean. Again, I am simply trying to list everything I can
find so a new owner will not in any way be disappointed. Next, on to the interior…everything is leather, and for an
obvious reason this was one of the only years they also did the dashboard in
leather. As you can see in the picture as the leather dries it pulls at the
seams of the dash, and this one is no different. The interior also smells like
dry leather. The driver’s seat is comfortable, but you can tell the leather is
harder than it should be…the passenger one is even drier. I put leather
treatment on it, but do not really see a lot of difference. In the back seat,
one side has had a baffle replaced, and there are extra baffles that go along
with this auction. The center armrest in the backseat also has some leather
that has cracked and separated. All in all for an original car this is in excellent
condition, but it is also important to realize that it is not in perfect
condition. It will certainly make a collector proud, especially after giving it
a little TLC…but all of the TLC is minor stuff. I am not sure what else I can
say about the car, between what I have listed and what the pictures show…you
can certainly contact me if you want additional questions answered. |

Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
2015 Porsche Panamera Exclusive Series is a seriously quick way to spend $260k
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Porsche is usually associated with being a sports car brand, but with vehicles like the Cayenne and Panamera it takes a step into the world of luxury against firmly established players like Mercedes-Benz. One way for the company to poke its head above the high-class fray is by taking things further, and in the case of the Panamera Exclusive Series at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it means pushing grandeur to extreme levels.
Coming in at an absolutely eye-watering $263,900, plus $995 destination, the Panamera Exclusive starts its life as the already sumptuous Panamera Turbo S Executive with a 4.8-liter, twin-turbo V8 making 570 horsepower on an extended wheelbase. To help justify the extra $63,000 for the Exclusive, though, the model gets 20-inch black Sport Classic wheels and an interior in swaddled in Nappa leather with dark walnut and piano black trim. Rear passengers also get 10.1-inch touchscreens mounted on the back of the front seats. A set of fitted Poltrana Frau leather luggage is included with each one, as well.
The luxurious sedan earns it Exclusive moniker because just 100 of them are being made worldwide. Scroll down to read about Porsche's ultimate limousine.
New J.D. Power Initial Quality Study puts Porsche, GM in spotlight
Wed, 19 Jun 2013J.D. Power and Associates has released its annual Initial Quality Study, and this year, Porsche and General Motors took the spotlight. The study, which asks new car owners to report problems experienced during the first 90 days of ownership, found that overall, the industry averages 113 problems per 100 vehicles.
Porsche managed a score of just 80 problems per 100 vehicles, while GMC took the second spot on the podium with 90. Lexus filled out the top three with 94 problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Infiniti at 95 and Chevrolet at 97. The study also looks at specific models, and found the Lexus LS to enjoy the best initial quality at 59 problems per 100 vehicles.
Interestingly enough, the report found that around two-thirds of most owner problems experienced in the first 90 days are attributable to vehicle design instead of mechanical failure. Specifically - echoing a refrain we've been hearing for the last few years - owners are having a hard time figuring out how to use the technology present in their new vehicles. Head over to the J.D. Power site for more information, or scroll down below for the company's related press release.
