This car is perhaps one of the best examples of a 944 Turbo you've seen. This auto has been maintained using well known Porsche shops and OEM parts to maintain the reliability and performance. Adult owned and maintained, previous owners have used Eurosports, Fischer Motorcars or EuroWorks Ltd. for maintenance and service. The 30K service included replacement of: Clutch, Timing Belt, Rollers, Brake Master Cylinder. At 46K motor mounts, steering rack, water pump and AC were replaced. Mobile 1 oil since new. Around 58K I had the transmission and rear end oils changed with a routine oil change. Most recent services at 63K included; Timing Belt, Rollers, Water Pump, Thermostat, Timing Gear and Tensioner and All Drive Belts. This was done as preventive maintenance. New Battery and oil 1 were changed at 67K. The engine, turbo, transmission all run smooth and strong as they should, no noises or excuses. Anything that has needed attention this car received. I have most of the service records since new.
With an accident free, no rust, and low miles and major services accomplished; this truly is one of the best 944 Turbos you will find. To help you visualize the condition, I will try to outline the condition of various areas on a scale, 1 to 10 being the highest. Tires 10/10 Installed less than 500 miles ago;a new set of Yokohama 580 tires. Rims 8/10 Paint 9/10 Windshield 10/10 Dash 10/10 Front Seats 9/10 Rear Seats 9/10 Carpet 9/10 Headliner 9/10 I have taken extra pictures to show you the various items mentioned above. If you have any questions, please e-mail me before bidding, I will respond to your questions.
Externally and Internally you will find this in wonderful condition. There is a small scratch on the left front area where the spoiler bolts up against the fender. A bolt came out and allowed the two pieces to rub. This was corrected, but has left a couple of scratches. A close up photo is included in the pictures. There are some small pits on the left front nose from driving on the Interstate, not very noticeable, but there. Picture is included of this area. The factory alarm is in place but does not work. Since this lives in my garage I have not had it looked at. If an alarm is needed, I would suggest maybe looking into current offerings as I would imagine they offer newer features and technology. Included is a protective cover for the removable sun roof. Also included is a nice bra for protection on the frontal area.
I have had this beauty for 7+ years and reluctantly have decided to sell it. I need the room in the garage for my wife's new car, so I am offering this at what I believe is a very fair price for a very nice fast 944 Turbo. I have set a buy it now price and expect to get something near that for this beauty. I will of course entertain offers. Thanks for looking.

Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim
Sat, 18 Jan 2014A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).
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.
Despite premium carmakers going downmarket, luxury auto sales stick at 10-11%
Thu, 16 Jan 2014According to research conducted by global information company IHS Automotive, the leporine birthing of new models by luxury manufacturers over the past six years hasn't increased their market share in the US. Even as car sales reached 15.6 million units, IHS says what's happened instead is that luxury buyers are merely moving from one brand to another, moving from larger luxury vehicles into hot segments like compact luxury crossovers or leaving the market at the same rate as other buyers enter.
Whether broken out by makes or by segment, market share has rollercoastered inside a narrow band from 10.5 to 11.5 percent since "at least" 2008. Closer investigation reveals the shifting boundaries in the aspirational pond, with brands like Mercedes-Benz and Audi gaining territory as Lexus and Lincoln lost it, and Saab and Hummer were buried, dead, under it. One neat note is that Tesla has gone from a share of zip to .12 percent.
The subcompact and compact crossover segments show growth, with those little high-riders jumping from .3 percent to 1.16 percent of overall industry sales. Their rise, though, is concomitant with the decline of four other segments: compact and midsize cars and fullsize cars and SUVs. We think the next few years that will tell if the small-car expansion can overcome the large-car retraction, with a phalanx of smaller offerings like the CLA only recently hitting the market and others like the GLA, Macan and Q1 doing so in the near future.
