  • Cayman driving is fun!

    Hello girls and boys. Was last week again with the Cayman on the Norschleife for a long time. I somehow forgot to drive fast – probably because our dog always bravely waiting at the driveway for the dad to come back safely – but I brought a video anyway. I built the GoPro to the helmet. I find the perspective quite interesting. The “action” when driving comes well. For realistic sound I have an exte Rne’s microphone is mounted in ear height. The lap itself is no banger and I forgot the PerformanceBox because of age, but I hope you can see why Cayman driving in the fourth summer is as much fun as on the first day The car just won’t get boring…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnHTIIldB1M

  • Porsche 996 Consulting

    Hello, actually I’ve been looking for an air-cooled Porsche for a long time. I’d like to have a SC or a 964. It’s going to be a 4th car, which is supposed to be in good condition with the possibility of a value watch. My annual KM performance will be at 5000 mainly on beautiful weekends, not winter. My search always runs according to the scheme, that I start with approx. 25keur, realize that good SC are at 30k, I get a 964 for that, but at 35k and for that I get very good 996. Now I am seriously thinking about buying a 996 convertible. Water-cooled! Believe that the 996 are as slow to meet their low price as the Boxsters. Boxster would also be an alternative. Now on my subject: 1. How will the 996 develop in value compared to the 964 or 993? 2. What is the offer to evaluate? Too expensive? Or with potential. Porsche 996 Gruss IP

  • Would you like to buy a used Panamera Turbo ?

    Hello guys, I hope a few helpful tips and opinions from you. I decided to buy a Panamera Turbo Bj. 2009 – 2010. I have unfortunately never driven Porsche, in general never bought a used car therefore little experience and hope a few tips. I already have a few turbo in the narrow selection. The prices differ however, despite only minimal differences. The question is what kind of a Turbo Bj. 2009 with about 98,000 – 110,000 km value Is ?, It goes from 55.000 Euro upwards (color must be black or white and no longer about 115000km) What must be particularly paid attention to such a Turbo ? I found one of the VK has meant the vehicle comes originally from Belgium but has a DE registration, is that a disadvantage or reducing value ? Thank you in advance for helpful answers and especially tips on what I should be paying attention to and if 100,000 km are already “too much” ?

  • 996 Targa with engine damage, bet or not?

    Hello, I’m stuck in the clamp and I’m looking for advice. I have a vehicle at my hand, which is now really cheap to buy. But what does it mean cheaply, it’s also a lot in the bad. Year 2001, model 2002, Targa 3.6 liter engine with, according to mechanic, torn control chain, currently without oil in the engine, which will probably be gone, or at least in parts Beautiful, bright interior equipment, but after the time of course also with some patina vehicle stands in France, so I have to put it on the Hän rims 18″ but heavily scratched, but not corroded, tyres OK electrics as far as working test drive not possible!!! checkbook peeped, 130tkm round unfortunately macks and dents, nothing you could not fix. Lack however does not seem to be renewed,with the exception of the front apron purchase price from buddy to buddy approx. 12,000 Euro.So what do you do there? 1. Take legs in your hand and run until you have forgotten the vehicle! 2. Buy and the 8-12t Euro in your hand but then even for maybe 2-3t to fix the paint. Maybe you have a tip for me, I’m just not able to account, as always, when I look at 911er.

  • Porsche as a student?

    Hello dear Porsche municipality, I am a student and would like to drive Porsche As far as anything unusual, but I am approaching my destination and I want to buy a Boxster (S) 987 during the year. I am aware of the high maintenance and purchase costs, but for a student it should not be a problem. At the moment I can put on the side c.a. 1000€ per month for the Porsche and have a Boxster or Boxster S year 05-07 The Boxster will be my everyday car and since I don’t want to go on the race track, the question is whether the 40hp more of the really needed or should be invested in better equipment. The next question is, how much should I really spend to get a decent model, I thought about c.a. 20,000, vll a little bit about it…For every 1000 more I have to drive a month longer Opel Yearly driving performance is c.a. 15,000km, mainly rural road and city Is there a certain time in the year in which the cars are cheaper to have? Similar to motorcycles? I hope I won’t kill you with my questions, but I’m still quite inexperienced in the Porsche area Dear Greetings

  • Porsche Boxster

    For a medium-engine project (Ford GT 40, photo) I need a gearbox including all the poles, because the mounted Peugeot is virtually unmobile. The 986 was offered first, until I realized that an Audi transmission is installed there. My question: From which power level was the Audi transmission NOT used anymore? And what came after that? For further information: If I don’t get a transmission separately, I have to purchase a complete vehicle. Does anyone have something suitable? Thanks and greeting from Franken Joe

  • Cayman S vs. 996 GT3 / 996 turbo

    Hello dear Porsche municipality. I had already posted here about 996 turbo vs. 996 GT3 / decision making some time ago. The end of the song was that I couldn’t make a decision anyway. Now that I have seen some Cayman S on Germany’s streets, the discussion in my head has widened somewhat, so to speak… I realize that there is a clear difference between 987 and the two 996s, but my fin The other option would be leasing, which would be just as interesting for me as a self-employed person. Can anyone give me clues as to how leasing rates at Porsche fail? Don’t think that my Audi, which has about the same list price as the well-equipped Cayman S, costs the same rate…or? Is there any experience with leasing used 996 turbo or GT3 into the How does that affect a new car? Presumably most of you bought, but maybe there’s one or the other “leaser” here. Would be grateful for information. Alex.

  • 335d & fun with Cayenne S

    moin, had met someone for a long time again on the highway the lust had to drive fast. because I was quite surprised how well a big cayenne s (400ps) can be driven at a higher pace. the cayenne is well 100km between nürnberg and airport münchen behind me, stayed up to 200 good and then had disappeared, until a stop ice appeared in front of me again. amazing I found how easy the cayenne also with curvy track dr I would have been interested in what the part in sprit takes at 100km full gas oh yes, before someone asks. the 335d has 361ps and no vmax lock and runs the 280er tacho until hit, I guess that’s just over real 260.

  • Navigation software and question for lowering

    Hello Boxster municipality! My name is Tom and I haven’t been introduced to this forum yet! I’ve only added a few posts in the Forum Audi R8 so far! I hope to be welcome here too and say hello to all of you! In our household there is a Boxster S from 2009, PDK, Klappennauspuff, 19″, Bose Soundsys. etc. (Pictures are returned) Since we have the car, an update to the map material of the Navi’s has never been made. If this Navi from 2009 has a special name, my first question would be. I think I would like to see if I might get the 2020 Navi DVD a bit cheaper in the bay. I didn’t really want to spend 200 or 300 euros there. If you have several cars, then there always comes something together – I want to save if possible. 2.Question is, how suitable for everyday use is the Boxster S, for example, if you lower it about 45 to 50 mm? The car is from the chassis series, so as high as an off-roader. I find there is still a lot of potential with low and track plates. Did anyone make that of you? also track plates? And how does the car behave afterwards? Are you still well in parking garages, floor elevations playing streets or 20s zones? I thank you in advance and I think something has been written about it somewhere. Nevertheless, I wish myself current statements, with sporty greetings, Tom
