This is a US version 1999 Porsche Carrera (911) (VIN: WP0AA2996XS620638) with auto transmission (Tiptronic). This is a very clean, rust free, original and lower than average mile Carrera. I bought this car for my wife as a ‘weekend car’ and it had about 86,000 miles on it back in 2011.  The car performs superbly, the cornering, the acceleration, the handling, brakes etc – it is a true Porsche.  While it is a really fun car to drive, practically speaking, my wife does not have the time to drive (with work, kids stuff etc.)  at all.  The last year, she drove it maybe a half a dozen times.  The car now has 88,100 miles on it.  We are now wanting to trade her primary car and is selling this car to partially pay for it.  Though we hate to part with the car, we also now need the garage space.

 

Let me describe the car a bit.  My wife and I bought the car from Tennessee (we live in Texas).  The prior owner also was using the car as a fun weekend car and used it sparingly.  The car has been garage kept most of its time.  I believe we are the third owners with the original first owner being in Florida.

 

This car is in original condition and state except for the wheels and radio.  The prior owner had upgraded the wheels to a 18” rim size with very low profile tires (making the car ride height very nice. The radio is an Alpine.   The paint work is in very good condition.  There appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender, at the same time, the car finish is very nice.

 

The interior is as nice as can be. No rips, no stains, not really even much wear on the driver seat and the driver side carpet.  All the little lights work, all the handles are there, the dash and gauges are clean as can be.  The door panels great etc.  The headliner is in nice shape. The dash does not have any cracks.

 

The body is very solid and rust-free, straight and clean and shows no signs of any kind of previous body work.  The color is Red, with beige interior.  The bumpers are straight and clean, the light lenses are clean etc. 

 

The car runs great, we have had the oil changed, new battery, new tires, wheel alignment/balance.   The AC blows cold air.  The transmission shifts very smoothly, with the ability to manually downshift.

 

While the car is in good condition, running very good, a few minor items needing attention are; driver sunvisor bracket cover is loose, a few small chips on front bumper, and there appears to be some prior paint work done on the front fender.  Other than this, we are not aware of any issues, at the same time, we are selling this car ‘as-is’ with no written or implied warranties.

 

This Porsche Carrera is the replacement for the older and iconic 911 series and you will not be disappointed at the original condition of this car.  It is a blast to drive, and built solid.  It took my wife and I a while to find this car and now we are quite sad to sell it, however, have to as we do not use it much and we need the garage space.   It has a clear title and I will provide the manuals and all that came with the car. 

 

Feel free to ask as many questions as you have.  If you need the car checked out, please feel free to send your mechanic over to see the car first before you bid.  Buyer will have to pay for the transport.   I can help arrange reasonable shipping about anywhere.  I am not familiar with overseas shipping, so please enquire first.  Full payment must be received within 7 days of auction end.  I am a long time ebayer and have a very good rating/score.   I am setting a very reasonable reserve on the car and happy bidding.   Please note that we must be able to close transaction in 7 days.

 

Thanks for looking (and reading) and let me know if you have any questions at all.

Mysterious Porsche 911 Cabriolet spied, could be GTS

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

While Porsche's designers can jokingly be accused of being some of the laziest in the industry due to the incremental changes to the 911's iconic design, no such charge can be leveled against the engineers and product planning folks. That's because it seems like each week arrives with news of a new variation of the marque's iconic rear-engined sports car. So, for this week, we've brought you images of what we think is the new 911 GTS Cabriolet, undergoing testing in a thawing winter wonderland.
Now, what is it that gives this 911 away, compared to standard convertible? Well, the big thing is the new offset, center-mounted exhausts. Borrowing a page from the last Volkswagen R32, these exhaust tips are unlike anything we've seen from Porsche. Only the GT3 wears center pipes, and unlike these spy photos, the twin pipes on the track-minded 911 are stacked neatly alongside each other. The other change spotted by our spies is the set of active-aerodynamic flaps in the front bumper, which can automatically channel air toward the brakes for increased cooling, or close off to reduce drag, as needed.
Those exhausts are a pretty big design detail, and so far as we can tell is the only differentiator between the other 911s in this car's posse. Our spies speculate that this could be a 911 Speedster, but point out that both the canvas roof and windshield remain unchanged - the rumored Speedster model would almost certainly feature a different roof assembly along with a steeply raked windshield.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."

Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
Since some of you will only get around to your TIVOs (or Fox Sports coverage) today, you should stop reading now if you don't want to know who did what...
