FIRST VEHICLE PICKUP IN PERSON ONLY, ABSOLUTELY NO SHIPPING AVAILABLE...iN ADDITION I WILL HAVE TO SIGN and DATE THE TITLE TO MAKE THIS A LEGAL TRANSACTION AND ABSOLVE MYSELF FROM ANY FUTURE ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS... I mention this because i know a lot of people like to leave the date area blank but I cannot do that, sorry. Hi, Up for sale is my 1986 944 turbo. I have owned this vehicle since 2003. I'll start with the known problems BAD: Has minor hail damage, mainly on hood but 1 ding or 2 on top of car and a spot here or there, not too bad though. Air conditioning compressor seals leak. If you add freon it will blow cold but leaks down. I don't recommend using it like this. Compressor will need replaced. The car runs rough until it gets warmed up. I believe it has a vacuum leak somewhere. The idle control valve does not work and that may be where the leak is, i just don't spend much time with the car anymore. It has a small oil leak presumably at the rear of the oil pan, mainly when boosting hard. I have driven it like this since i installed this motor in 2005 and do not have to add oil in between oil changes. Clock is missing, was sent for rebuild and the insides were not repairable. Does not have limited slip tranny. Cycling valve bad and not working properly so boost runs from LR boost enhancer directly to LR Dual Port wastegate, about 13 pounds boost. To run more you'd need to add different chips and a manual boost controller If i remember correctly i think one of the outer tie rods could use replacing. Paint old and faded, have to keep it polished and waxed to be real shiny Next up i will list the good stuff.

VW makes $23K on every Porsche sold, more than Bentley or Lamborghini
Fri, 14 Mar 2014It's a good time to be in the luxury car business. In Volkswagen Group's financial report for the 2013 fiscal year, it is revealed that that Porsche enjoyed an operating margin of 18 percent. That means the Stuttgart brand made on average about $23,200 per car sold, according to BusinessWeek. Bentley wasn't far behind, and Audi (which was combined with Lamborghini) posted a 10.1 percent margin. This compares to only around 2.9 percent for the Volkswagen brand.
"Luxury brands are on fire," said Dave Sullivan, an industry analyst at AutoPacific. He said that the average profit margin is between six and eight percent. Brands like Porsche and Bentley have the benefit of competing in rarefied markets. Buyers looking at one their vehicles have fewer models to shop against and don't care as much about price. They can also charge more for options, which further boosts income, according to BusinessWeek.
In a way, we should be more impressed by the continued success from Audi. Its models generally have direct competitors in every segment from the other premium automakers. Plus, their buyers aren't the captains of industry who are shopping for a Bentley. Still, the Four Rings is leading rivals in sales so far this year.
Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Drive-up bank robbery perpetrated with Cayenne and WRX
Sat, 14 Sep 2013Thieves carried out what appears to be a movie-script-perfect robbery of a bank in Sydney, Australia early on Friday morning, using two stolen high-performance vehicles in the process.
At around 11:15 AM local time, in near mid-day light, reports say that two men in masks smashed into the side of a Westpac bank in a confirmed-stolen black Porsche Cayenne. The perpetrators were armed with sledgehammers according to witness reports, and took only about five minutes to take what they were after inside of the bank.
The rapid getaway was executed in a Subaru WRX, also confirmed as a stolen vehicle, while witnesses snapped camera phone images of the illicit goings on. One Twitter user posted a few of the images to his social media feed; you can take a look at them in our small gallery below. Follow on down for the full video report, from The Sydney Morning Herald.
