While searching for a Porsche, I’ve spent a lot of time looking at ads, dealerships and eBay trying to get a feel for what’s available on the market, how prices are comparing to blue book prices, and where the best deals are. I already have a decent idea of what I’m looking for, but I’ve […]
Tempting Porsches #3
December 19, 2008 by
In this latest installment of tempting Porsches, I have only one that really made the list. I’m sure I’ll be called crazy for even mentioning this as a real temptation. All I can say is it’s a dang good thing I have no place to actually put this project car, because I was ready to […]
Porsche Trade: Steinway for Porsche???
December 19, 2008 by
In keeping with the interesting things people want to trade for a Porsche and for their Porsche, I ran across probably one of the strangest to date. Here’s how the ad reads: Would you be interested in trading your car for a Steinway grand? High end only. Audi/BMW or Porsche. Given the potentially high prices […]
Weekly Porsche Wrap
December 14, 2008 by
Here are a few Porsche related posts I read over the last week that I found interesting. All of them are worth a read! 4 Steps to Winterize Your Porsche John over at 993c4s.com (soon to be PorschePurist.com) had a great post on winterizing your Porsche. If you live in an area with heavy winter […]
Tempting Porsches #2
December 12, 2008 by
I haven’t seen many tempting Porsches the last few weeks. Cars I would seriously consider buying, but also are a bit on the bubble when compared to other cars on the market. Lately these have fallen more into the questionable history (rarely a good thing with a Porsche) or need work (definitely not a good […]
Trade a Track Hoe for a Porsche
December 3, 2008 by
It’s interesting to me to see how people value a Porsche. For some, owning just about ANY Porsche would be a once in a lifetime experience. For others, owning a Porsche is akin to, well, owning a small track hoe. Or maybe better put, they’d rather own a small track hoe than a Porsche. Here’s […]
911 Slantnose Turbo Cabriolet
November 22, 2008 by
In my quest for a Porsche, I ran across this 1976 911 Slantnose Cabriolet that also had the wide body Turbo look with flared fenders and whale tail. A 1984 3.0 liter had been dropped into the car along with a few other minor improvements. The car was in decent shape with the usual external […]
Tempting Porsches #1
November 20, 2008 by
I’ve primarily been checking Craigslist.com for used Porsches online. Time has prevented me from looking too seriously for a car at this point, but I’m trying to at least get an idea of what’s out there. I’ve seen a fair number of decent cars, but aside from Boxsters and Cayennes, screaming deals have been a […]
Older Porsche as Daily Driver
November 13, 2008 by
I ran across an article today on informanté today about a lengthy drive in Europe in old cars. One of them being a 1972 Porsche 911: THE Old Wheelers Club of Namibia is meeting with 19 Old wheelers from Europe in Outjo this morning as part of the 7200km special vehicles, including the 1932 Ford […]
Best Places to Find Used Porsches
November 8, 2008 by
Wondering where the best places to find used Porsches are? Me too. Since I’ve been doing a little more intentional searching for Porsches lately (rather than the casual dreamer approach), I’ve started to figure out where I think the best place to find a good deal on a used Porsche will be. Here’s my list […]
