944s usually come in one of two categories: the 0 mile $20,000 cream puff that you might see being trailered to the Concours and the 200,000 mile $3,000 used, abused and molested type you might see doing burnouts in the Taco Bell parking lot after school. This one is from that rare third category: clean, well cared for, usable and with reasonable mileage. This car has spent its entire adult-owned life garaged in Southern California and Colorado and is completely rust free. I'm selling it because I haven't enjoyed it in years anyway and recent financial issues are forcing me to pay off an old student loan- and because the license plate fees are due again and I don't want to pay them.
WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- Super clean inside and out
- 119,800 professionally maintained miles
- Unlike just about every other 944 in the world, this one has a front spoiler and fog lamps that haven't been destroyed by dips & parking blocks
- Fresh ignition system tune up
- Passed strict Southern California emissions test with flying colors in 2007 and has barely been driven since
- Over 50% remaining on all brake linings
- Stationary race style headlamp fixtures, the factory pop-up lamps are included but will require touch up and installation (see photos)
- Battery is less than 1 year old and hasn't even been hooked up yet
- Tires only have about 100 burnout free miles on them
- 1985 1/2 designation makes it a 1985 model year with the 1986-1993 interior features, dashboard and gauges
- Rare factory option "Sport" front power seats with large side bolsters, like 911 Carrera models. The front seats have a fresh upholstery job
- Professionally installed short shift kit
- High power stereo system with hidden amplifier and brand new Blaupunkt CD deck with remote and Ipod port neatly hidden in center console
- Removable/ tiltable power roof panel
- Very dark professional window tint
- Power windows
- Power mirrors
- Power sunroof/ removable roof
- Still has that new Porsche smell, believe it or not
- Factory cruise control that still works just fine
- Factory alarm option (key is missing)
- 15" "Phone Dial" wheels with locks/ key
- Hood and hatch struts still actually work
- Very tight suspension and excellent handling
- Original, unused spare tire, compressor and tools included
- Comes with clean, clear title, original headlamps/hardware, Hayne's manual, owner's manual packet in near mint condition and even an expensive official Porsche factory service manual on CD ROM
- Paint is still very glossy and is about an 8.5/10 (dusty in photos)
- Interior condition is a 9/10
WHAT'S NOT GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- There is a 3" dent in the nose panel, not real deep or noticeable, but it drove me crazy. I was going to replace the panel with a new vented panel. See photos
- The sunroof is totally functional, but the switch is stubborn sometimes
- I would recommend replacement of fluids, they've got less than 100 miles of use, but haven't been changed in about 5 years
- The fuse/relay block got water intrusion at some point before I owned it and sometimes needs a good whack- usually not an issue, new blocks are available
- The transmission input center bearing makes noise when cruising without load. Its not an immediate problem, but will require replacement in the near future- a common 944 issue
- Factory A/C needs R134 retrofit to be practical and usable
- Glove box catch and light fixture are missing
- Hood latch needs alignment
NOTE: in the close up photo of the right rear corner, it looks like a white wishbone shaped scuff near the side marker, but its actually only the reflection of a white step stool in the garage.
That's about as thorough a description as I can come up with. Its not 100% perfect, but a very nice old Porsche at a reasonable price and the things it could use are relatively minor. I'm hoping to sell the car to a fellow experienced antique sports car enthusiast or collector who knows what it is, why it deserves respect, how to treat it and how to take care of it. Please, if you're not completely clear as to what it takes to properly care for a 30 year old Porsche, this probably isn't the car for you.

We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.

Back in 1965, Porsche invented the 911 Targa as a matter necessity. Believing that a finicky National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was prepared to outlaw convertibles, the innovative automaker created the half-open car as a way to keep wind rushing through owners' hair. Though far removed from those formative days, it seems as though the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa has come to the Detroit Auto Show with a new-school version of some old-school tech.
While the last Targa featured a trick sliding glass roof at the touch of the button, the new car dramatically swallows a traditional-looking panel via an exceptionally complex-looking mechanical operation. The net result is "the same fun factor and freedom" that can be had with a complete convertible, though with slightly more open-driving protection while underway.
And, as is the case with all of the current 911 range, getting underway can be done with reasonable rapidity. The entry-level Targa 4 rocks a 350-horsepower, 3.4-liter flat-six engine just behind the rear axle, making that car good for 175 miles per hour at the top end (with the seven-speed manual, 174 mph with PDK) and a 0-to-60 sprint of 4.6 seconds. The Targa 4S, meanwhile, offers 400 horsepower from 3.8-liters of boxer six, runs to 60 in 4.2 seconds and hits a top "track speed" of 183 mph.

EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
