Porsche 928 S4 1991 Black/grey Automatic Beautiful. on 2040-cars
Bainbridge, Georgia, United States
|
First, let me say that this is a strong and beautiful car. The exterior is as new, with no issues. Check out the pictures. It runs like a watch and doesn’t burn or leak a drop of oil. I have had it for fourteen years and it has been my daily driver. I would not hesitate to get into it tomorrow and drive it across the country. And I am a fanatic who keeps the exterior amazingly beautiful for a 23 year old car. You will find no better example!
The problem occurred when I moved from Chicago and wasn’t aware of the negative affects of the strong south Georgia sun. The driver seat dried out and cracked as you can see from the pictures. The passenger seat shows signs of wear but is still in good shape. One of the rear seats also needs replacement, although the other rear seat is perfect. The dash is perfect with no signs of wear, shrinking or cracking. The top portion of the leather steering wheel needs to be re-stitched, but the leather is perfect. The body has no rust, no dings, bubbling paint or cosmetic issues, and is as new. The paint is amazing, shiny and looks better than when it came out of the show room. I still get compliments and head turns on it at the grocery store. The tires are Sumitomo HTR Z II's and have about 40% tread left. The wheels are the very expensive upgraded Porshe turbo 18" wheels for this year and are beautiful, with color Porsche crests. There are some minor electrical problems. The passenger side tail light assembly is intermittent, comes on sometimes and not other. The headlights open and work fine but the glass holding the H4 bulbs leaks moisture. They do not need replacement, just to be thoroughly dried out and then re-sealed. The windshield has a crack on the passenger side and the car does run very rough on cold starts until it warms up, then it purrs like a kitten. It fires up normally when warm. My dealer tells me it is a temperature sensor that needs to be replaced. But there are three sensors on the 928 and, since he doesn't know which it is and I live on SS, I do not want to pay the exhorbitant service charges from this Porsche dealer to track down the problem, so I put up with cold starting the car and waiting a few minutes for it to warm up. The car has a computer built into the dash that warns you of all faults. The computer works flawlessly but warns that the rear axle fluid needs to be changed (see pic). This warning is based on time of service rather than any flaw in the axle fluid. My dealer told me to ignore it. The power windows, power sun roof, power trunk opener, 8-way power seats with memory and rear seat A/C work flawlessly. The driver side power mirror and rear wiper need to be diagnosed as they do not work. This has been and still is a nice car, and a head turner. All service records will be included with the sale. With a little patience, some seat reupholstering and minor electrical work, it will provide many more years of service. The Carfax report is clear and clean. I am including the Garmin 4.5" GPS and the original Porsche 2000 page dealer Shop Repair Manual on CD with the car. I am 71 years old and simply don't have the patience to work on cars anymore. But my laziness can profit you greatly in this purchase. I can arrange shipping with a carrier that I trust and have used twice before, with perfect results (at your expense). This is a “no reserve” auction. I require a $500 deposit within 3 days of the auction closing and the balance at pickup, all in certified funds. |

Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental
Wed, 25 Jun 2014In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
Porsche busts out new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Baby 911. The poor man's Porsche. That's what they called the Boxster when it debuted some 20 years ago. They said the same of the first Cayman when it arrived a decade later, but they stopped saying it when the latest iterations hit the scene two years ago. That's because Zuffenhausen's entry-level models have long since stepped out of their big brother's shadow and into their own. And that's all the more true of the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe - representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
Those disappointed by the unavailability of a manual transmission in the fire-prone 911 GT3 will be pleased to note that a six-speed manual comes standard, but those enamored of letting a pair of clutches shift themselves seamlessly will want to spring for the optional seven-speed DCT. So equipped and with launch control engaged, the Boxster GTS will rocket from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds, while the incrementally lighter, more powerful Cayman will hit it in 4.6. Either way you're looking at a third of a second quicker than the Boxster/Cayman S. There's also a 20-millimeter lowered suspension on offer for track-day enthusiasts.
Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe vs Porsche Panamera Turbo S in unusual lux showdown
Fri, 07 Nov 2014We'll admit it, we're really looking forward to more time with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. Compared to other high-dollar luxury coupes - we're looking at you Bentley Continental GT - it's more stylish, easily more affordable, and since it's a Mercedes, lacks the sense of fragility that comes with a more exotic name plate.
Auto Express has taken a whack at reviewing the new two-door S-Class, and for some reason, the British mag is comparing it with a Porsche Panamera. Now, while comparing the looks of an S-Class Coupe and a Panamera is a bit like holding a beauty contest between Kate Upton and Medusa, this isn't as bizarre a pair as you might think, particularly when you opt for the high-dollar S63 AMG Coupe and the Panamera Turbo S.
The two offer similar power outputs from their force-induced V8s - 577 horsepower in the Benz and 570 horsepower in the Porsche - and are even similar in terms of interior and exterior dimensions. The S-Class actually has an extra inch between the axles and is 1.2 inches longer overall (it's also about 300 pounds heavier). In the cabin, the S-Class also has a tiny bit more rear legroom, with 33.4 inches to the Panamera's 33.3.
