#2019 of 2048 Re: buying a Porsche [peerkhan] by madmanmoo Mar 24, 2009 (7:04 am)
Replying to: peerkhan (Mar 23, 2009 3:35 pm) Ummm,   I think what Peer is trying to say is:   Sales people are good hardworking people trying to make a living. Respect them and they will do the same.   Do some research before you buy.   You can get some great discounts on leftover '08 stock.   ????   Donald Trump's empire is crumbling and you can be like him. Immersed in lawsuits and bankruptcy proceedings.   Porsches are fun to drive.   Good luck.   Hope that helped!
#2020 of 2048 Buying GT3 today... All comments greatly appreciated! Time of the essence. by frustrum Mar 29, 2009 (12:22 pm)
(new to the forum, playing quick catch up, here's the question...)   ----- 2008 GT3 222 miles RS Orange PCCB Xenon lights Red tail lights Self-dim mirror w/ rain sensor Nav -----   They are asking 129k, which seems above original MSRP? So, while I love the car, I need to figure out my walk-away price before going to the dealer today.   What is your walk-away price?   All thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.   ps. While I love the RS Orange, is it a bit poser to paint a non-RS an RS color?   ps2. Of course the salesman acts like the new economy hasn't affected high-end rare cars, but that just seems like a line. Is there really a solid national market for GT3s? Or are they not selling like the Turbos? There are 10 turbos on the lot with the GT3.
#2021 of 2048 1989 930 Cabriolet production???? by abaker1 May 26, 2009 (1:55 pm)
I own a 1989 930 cabriolet. I would like to find out how many were produced, exported to the USA and perhaps how many are still around. Any ideas where I could find this information would be appreciated?   TIA abaker1 Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (May 26, 2009 2:14 pm) abaker1 (May 26, 2009 2:43 pm)

Replying to: abaker1 (May 26, 2009 1:55 pm) 844 produced, 600 came to USA, in 1989.**   Usually these cars are grouped together as the 1987--1989 with a total production of 2,002, since they are essentially the same car.   Hard to say how many are left but I'd bet most of them. This isn't a car that is generally junked, so unless they've been demolished (and this does happen to this car) they are generally repaired/restored.   The European models have more HP.   **source: "Original Porsche 911" by Peter Morgan, 1998 edition, published by Motorbooks.

Replying to: chiba (Jun 07, 2009 1:22 pm) Great car. I'd say you definitely have to watch out for the clutch. It should be light and smooth. If it is heavy or sticky, you'd best take it to a Porsche specialist for further consultation, since repair of the dual-mass flywheel & clutch assembly is quite expensive. This is a known problem area. Porsche replaced many of these under goodwill arrangements, even after warranty. You might check the car's records.   There's another serious issue with the C2s which may have no bearing on your car. Cars built prior to June 1991 (check on the tag on the door jamb) have been known to develop leaks between the cylinder heads and the cylinder barrels, requiring removing and rebuilding of the upper part of the engine. So again, if the car was built on or before June 1991, off to the specialist you go for an inspection.

Replying to: s4to911 (Jul 13, 2005 4:44 pm) Just now read your post and had a question if you still check this forum.I have a 2001 Imola Yellow Audi S4 Avant that I purchased new in May 2001.I am about to turn 61 and I have always said that I was going to buy another 911 when I get into my 60's,had a 1971 911 T in the early 70's when I was single.  I am now looking for a 2006 Carrera S.  I chipped my S4 at 5000 miles,it now has only 40,000 miles,and I was wondering what differences you have noticed between the two cars in real world driving.The S4 has so much low end torque from about 1500 to 5500 RPM,that you can have plenty of fun before reaching 80 MPH.Thanks.
#2027 of 2048 2005 Porsche 911 S Cab by majesterludi Jul 03, 2009 (4:04 am)
I have a 2005 911 S with 6000 miles. My service light has come on reminding me that service needs to be done in 15 days!   Are the service intervals based on time or miles, or both. Is it really necessary to have the service done considering the car has low miles. I realize that the car is four years old. Comments.

Replying to: majesterludi (Jul 03, 2009 4:04 am) Hi. I have an 05 997 S coupe. Ready for the 4 yr 40K (even though it only has 11K mile) service. The dealer says it runs about $800. Thius sounds like a rip off to me as the only things replaced per the service manual are air/particle filters and lube oil filter. He says they also put in a fuel system additive, which is not in the manual and I have heard you should not do. All the rest of the cost presumably is 'inspections' . Comments?
