This next car comes as a tip from Jeff who writes: I know it has THOSE headlights and the asking price might be a tad higher than some other ’01 911‘s out there, but it looks practically brand new in and out + it has a few nice updates. Find this 2001 Porsche 911 996 […]
The Porsche 924 Turbo isn’t exactly breaking bidding records at auctions—especially when you stack it up against the glitzy 911. Introduced in 1976, the 924 was Porsche’s way of showing that a no-frills engine paired with a lightweight chassis could make automotive magic. Sure, its Audi-sourced van/sedan engine raised a few eyebrows, but in 1979, […]
We’ve been featuring some low priced junkers in recent weeks…well…that’s not entirely fair. We’ve featured low-priced junkers since 2012…but I’m getting ahead of myself. Anyway, the next car is expensive, but it is a late model Porsche with moderate miles on the odo, only one major reconstruction event on the title, and eight previous owners. […]
This next car comes as a tip from MB who writes: I know, I know, “ticking time bomb” but who amongst us hasn’t made some questionable decisions on this journey through life. This seller seems well informed and a running 928 (red!) under $10k doesn’t come along every day. Listed 4 weeks ago, so who […]
The 996 was the 5th generation of the legendary Porsche 911 and was produced from 1997 through 2006. It brought water-cooled flat-6 power to Porsche’s lineup, and although it shared some development (and parts) with the 986 Boxster it saved Porsche from financial troubles. Love or hate the fried egg lights, these things are gaining […]
The Porsche 928 (1977-1995) used a modern overhead cam V8 up front mated to a transaxle in the rear — it was a comprehensibly modern design that was decidedly non-911 and very much a luxury grand tourer. They were expensive when new and followed the typical path for car depreciation, however, they didn’t get the […]
Big companies spend a fortune to get their message in front of potential customers…this is what is known as marketing. Small sellers of used cars often put those small red/black/white “FOR SALE” signs in the windows of their car for sale…but in all of my life, I’ve never seen something that looks like a Publishers […]
The Porsche 718 RSK was the racing successor to the legendary Porsche 550A Spyder that even had a center-steered and fenderless version that raced in Formula 1 back when 1.5 liter engines were the norm. Today’s Beetle-based kit car shares little in common with an actual Porsche 718 RSK, but it should make for an […]
When Porsche introduced their mid-engine Boxster in the late 1990s they needed to save costs to keep the price competitive. One of the interesting choices in components for the rear-engine Boxster was the use of a Getrag 5-speed transaxle that was shared with the Audi A4 and Volkswagen Passat, which both used a longitudinal front-engine […]
I noticed an article the other day that famous Porsche collector Magnus Walker was selling his 26,000 square-foot LA Arts District warehouse/creative space for something on the order of $20 million USD. Perhaps now he can afford clothes and a haircut so he doesn’t look like unhoused, but don’t count on it. Anyway, you might […]
