A few years ago I owned a derelict Porsche 928. It didn’t have hand painted racing stripes or flat black paint, but it wasn’t a beauty contest winner. It ran and drove fine, but I wonder if this is my old car but with an additional 20k miles and a few owners. Find this 1984 […]
If you like cars, you might like this next deal. And I don’t mean you are a person who likes the car, but part of the contingent of people who like many, many, many cars…and own them simultaneously. I am a card-carrying member. For the simple price of $45K, you can own this collection of […]
I’m not usually someone who recommends people buy used cars from those small used car dealers that dot the American landscape…but occasionally, a car appears that isn’t a wrong purchase. Today, we’ve got one of the early Porsche Boxster S models with less than 30k miles on the odometer, which is offered for a very […]
For many decades the Porsche 912 was the cheapest Porsche you could buy, arguably even less desirable than a Porsche 914, which at least had some “performance” cache (when it isn’t powered by the 1.7 dog motor). Fast forward a few years and prices for 912s have gone bonkers (Porsche prices, Volkswagen power…) but you […]
I was scoping out the new Toyota GR Corolla the other day and was FLABBERGASTED to discover that a simply equipped example will cost $40K before you start paying local taxes and dealer markup. What kind of car can you get for that much coin worth as much or more in 20 years? Surely, a […]
The Porsche 924 Turbo isn’t exactly breaking the piggy bank at auctions, especially when compared to its fancier 911 sibling or anything with more initials than a secret code. Back in 1976, Porsche birthed the 924, proving that a straightforward engine and a lightweight chassis can be BFFs. Sure, the Audi van/sedan engine got a […]
Back in the early 2000s I seriously considered buying a Porsche 911 RS America, which were trading for about $25k (or the price of a new Volkswagen Passat) at the time. I ended up going in a different direction and didn’t scratch the air-cooled 911-itch with a car that at the time seemed to be […]
The Porsche 928 featured a front-mounted V8 paired with a transaxle, showcasing a notably modern design distinct from the traditional Porsche sports car, the 911. However, the 928 was positioned as a luxury grand tourer, but it was crafted from the start to outperform the 911. Sporting a larger engine, superior weight distribution, wider wheel […]
The Porsche 924 doesn’t get much attention at the national Concours d’ Fancypants events around the manicured lawns of America, but it is one of the cars credited with saving Porsche when times were tough. The 924S was the final iteration of the 924’s career and it ended on a bang with the 2.5 liter […]
The Porsche 944 (1982-1991) zoomed onto the scene as an exhilarating episode in the chronicles of water-cooled front-engine Porsche sports coupes that kicked off in the late ’70s with the 928. It wasn’t just a snazzy successor to the 924; it was the beefed-up, turbocharged hero of the 924/944/968 clan. Surprisingly, it’s often been overlooked […]
