1988 Porsche 928 S4, Enthusiasts Car With Loads Of Extras on 2040-cars

1988 Porsche 928 S4. The opportunity you have been looking for has just arrived. A well kept Black S4 Automatic from a 928 Enthusiast with key features such as premium sound system/w/bass tube, custom rims, Momo steering wheel and red LED lite instrument cluster to name a few. AC blows cold, reasonably new Continental tires on the front end. Exhaust growls like a shark should and is in good shape. I purchased this shark from a Porsche enthusiast two years ago who makes me look tame in comparison who shed a tear as I was driving away as he was staring a family and his wife made him an offer he could not refuse. Prior to my taking delivery the car had new motor mounts installed as well as a steering rack with tie rods. If you know anything about these cars, a set of rods and racks will cost you 2 grand and most used sharks you buy will need the work shortly. Also the complete top end hoses were replaced prior to my purchase. The mass air flow meter was reconditioned. The car comes with a complete set of 4 original slotted wheels with tires, a spare front bumper and lower spoiler as well as a set of original factory manuals ( rare to find in this condition ) and two Porsche 928 car cover, one each for indoors and out. And there is more, A full set or rear plate tools and jack with spare, tire cover, 12 V original pump and two original keys. All lights function. I have several spare parts to go with the car such as window regulator and other nicknacks that you may find yourself needing. No doubt about 928s, they need TLC once in a while.
Open and honest issues, Paint is in good shape, the drivers seat has a repairable tear in the cushion and the electric drivers seat does not work ( I'm 6'4" and it is all the way back and not a problem for me ). The odometer quit working at 128,000 miles ( before I purchased the car ) the prior owner put on 7,000 miles before I got the car and I've added another 3,000. I had a mechanic look to repair the odometer after I got the shark but he advised not to as all other gauges work and he felt that there was no upside to fixing it even though it is repairable. The battery is new, lower seals tightened, the car is a strong runner and passed a compression check before I purchased it and every time I drive it it puts a smile on my face.
I hope that if you are seriously looking for a 928S4, even as a daily driver, you will consider this Shark.

Jay Leno chats with Magnus Walker about his 1972 Porsche 911 72STR
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Magnus Walker has stopped by the Big Dog Garage again to pay Jay Leno a visit in the latest episode of Jay Leno's Garage. This time, the Porsche builder brought along his 1972 911 72STR 002. Walker calls the machine his best build to date, and the car is a rolling "best of" from Porsches past, rocking some of the more attractive elements pulled from a wide arc of 911 model years. Of course, the machine also wears a few signature Walker touches, including flush-mount turning indicators, a center-hood fuel filler and plenty of louver work.
Unlike some of Walker's other creations, the 72STR 002 is clean enough to lick. Leno seems suitably impressed with the creation, and while apparently isn't typically a fan of Porsche models in general, Walker's tastefully modified 911 has him singing a different tune. You can check out the car in the video below.
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.
'Latest production version' of Porsche 918 shown off on Twitter
Fri, 16 Aug 2013Porsche posted a picture of what it is calling "the latest production version" of the 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder on Twitter. It looks like the gasoline-hybrid supercar is being driven sportively on some California back roads during Monterey Speed Week.
Whatever updates were made to this version aren't visual (except for the paint), as the one Chris Harris drove last spring and another seen hot-weather testing in Nevada both had production bodies. We presume the changes are relatively minor and more than skin deep - perhaps brake calibration, suspension tuning or tweaks to the powertrain - but Porsche didn't release any more information.
The 918 Spyder is Porsche's latest supercar, which will compete with the LaFerrari and the McLaren P1 hybrid supercars. The Porsche may be the underdog of the group when considering horsepower, acceleration, top speed and price, but the 887-horsepower brute has the most advanced hybrid drivetrain of the three.
