1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet - White With Blue Interior And Top - 6 Spd Manual on 2040-cars
Port Saint Lucie, Florida, United States
|
Mechanically good 1992 Cabriolet. Original top and paint. Original convertible cover also in good condition. This car is still one of the best handling cars on the road today. It is a lot of fun to drive and gets lots of smiles and comments from others on the road. Used mostly as a weekend car now, but has seen periods of use as a very reliable everyday vehicle. One of approximately 700 cabriolets delivered in 1992 to the North American market. This car is a well kept and has been garaged most of it's last 10 years. Previous history mostly unknown, but some records came with the car when I purchased it in 2005. Major service records from 2005 and on. PCA member from 2005 thru 2013. Carfax indicates that I am likely the fifth owner of this vehicle. Lots of parts have been updated / replaced / repaired. Major service performed a couple of thousand miles ago included timing belt / balance shaft service, replacement of the steering rack, and front suspension bushings. This car runs and drives better than when I purchased it. Some normal wear and tear to the paint and interior, especially considering that this vehicle is nearly 25 years old. Slight cracking of the leather on the upper exposed portion of the doors and minor wear of the driver's seat are the most obvious areas of note (see pictures). Passenger seat is in good shape. The rear window plastic is cracked at one location and has a small crease at a second. The crack has been sealed using reinforced clear duct tape. I tried to capture these items in the included pictures. The top does not leak. There are no dash cracks. The remote trunk release, the car alarm, and the power door locks all function properly. Even the clock still works and keeps accurate time. The tool kit is also complete. The original mechanic's gloves that were in the storage cubby in the engine compartment are missing. Air conditioning is functioning but requires normal service and a recharge. Previous service and recharge was performed in 2010. System runs, but stopped cooling about a year ago. Car is currently used only for 'top down' motoring so recharging the a/c has not been a priority. Tires are in good shape, as is the rest of the car. I would not hesitate to take this car on a road trip of any sort. I am currently preparing to move due to a job relocation and will not have room for this vehicle at my new location. Last time I moved I had to get rid of my 1988 BMW M6. The Porsche made it through that move but I can't hang on to it this time around....needless to say downsizing and moving are not very high on my list of things I look forward to. Car is available for local inspection. Let me know if there are any additional pictures of features that you would like to see and I will try to get them taken and posted or sent to you. Shipping is to be arranged by the purchaser or the car can be picked up locally. Vehicle will be stored in my garage for a short period of time to allow time for delivery arrangements. |

Porsche to develop new line of engines for next Panamera
Sat, 22 Mar 2014When the second generation of the four-door Porsche Panamera launches, it will likely be riding a new platform, complete with an all-new family of V6 and V8 engines, according to a report coming out of the UK.
Autocar reports that the so-called MSB platform will likely underpin the Panamera, and it could be shared with Bentley, provided the Volkswagen-owned, British-built brand commits to the architecture. As for the engines, it's reported that they'll have a sportier character than the V6s and V8s being built for Volkswagen and Audi's vehicles.
"Porsche will have its own new V8 that will be common to the new MSB platform," Porsche's chief engineer, Wolfgang Hatz, said. "It's a family for the next 10 years of cars." Whether the V8 and V6 will be used outside of the Panamera line, though, remains unclear. There's also no mention of what place turbocharging would have with the new engines.
Porsche inspecting 2,500 Euro-spec Macans for damaged brake boosters
Thu, 29 May 2014Porsche is investigating a potential brake issue with 2,500 of its new Macan CUVs. The inspection focuses on the state of the brake systems following tests that discovered the brake boosters may have been damaged during assembly.
Porsche has pointed out that, despite the concern, the affected Macans still meet safety regulations. The issue is predominantly found in European-spec Macans, which according to Porsche, have been delivered to consumers. Owners of affected vehicles in Europe will be notified and asked to come in for a brief, no-cost inspection.
American consumers, though, have no reason to worry. We reached out to Porsche Cars North America, who confirmed that the vehicles in question were assembled before US-spec cars were screwed together.
Porsche 918 Spyder officially priced from $845K, Weissach package $84K more
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Porsche has released official pricing for its entire lineup of 2013 models, which just happens to include the upcoming 918 Spyder hybrid supercar. The 795-horsepower advanced-technology-lab-on-wheels is now officially confirmed to have a starting price of $845,000 in the US, which is the exact amount we were told earlier when we had the opportunity to ride shotgun in some 918 Spyder pre-production test vehicles.
What we didn't know at the time was the cost of the Weissach trim package, which is a high-performance upgrade to the standard vehicle that includes the deletion of some interior amenities and addition of lighter-weight carbon fiber appointments, magnesium wheels, flame-resistant upholstery, racing belts and aerodynamic aids - it's meant for track-going folk who intend to use their 918 Spyders as God, country and manufacturer intended.
All told, the Weissach package should drop the 918 Spyder's curb weight by some 80 pounds, while also lightening your wallet of an additional $84,000 - the car's MSRP with the Weissach package is $929,000. These prices don't, however, include destination charges, which, for something like the very limited edition 918 Spyder (only 918 will be made), could very well cost considerably more than your average Porsche.
