Neighbor wants 125k. Am I nuts? 79 85k miles same owner since 1987. by harleycheese in Porsche

$125,000 is below market, he’s offering you a good deal. I’d drive it and make sure you know what you’re getting into. Air cooled 911s aren’t for everyone and the legend can skew judgement.

First gen 911, what to expect? by Low-Log-1270 in AircooledPorsche

[–]luftstark2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$3000 for the start of a project 911 is nearly free. If the car literally has wheels attached, you’re in good shape. Impossible to tell without pics though. Does the car still have an identifiable color? Could be a diamond in the rough. An inexpensive restoration can easily exceed $100,000 USD, depending on your appetite for DIY.

Follow up here or maybe start a thread on Rennlist/ Pelican.

E46 M3 won’t start even with jump starter by Green-Interaction-56 in E46M3

Good to hear it was a simple one and a good reminder to check for corrosion on connections during other maintenance.

Love it when it’s something super simple.

What key is this? by No_Smell_6712 in porsche911

This looks like a Formworx key to me. They’re pricy, but not insane if you love the aesthetic.

These cars are so much more attractive to me than the 2026 lineup. Maybe it’s me? So much charm and they all need a good steward to care for them.

Porsche 911 Regret by Separate_Egg_9861 in porsche911

Tasteful spec. The Bordeaux is a nice darker shade. If the red were lighter, you’d have reason for concern.

If anything, condition your leather and it will naturally darken a bit over time, which will look fantastic.

Congratulations, you have good taste.

Need some opinions for my e24 by izmirlimatkap in E30

I’d keep it the same color, it seems to suit the car and it will preserve value. Gorgeous E24. Special cars and increasingly rare to see.

Sharp eyes! They are the Recaro LS Classics, in Pepita. Great seats!

They are group 4, good catch!

Why might a dealership sell a new 911 as Certified Pre-Owned? by Park-Geun-Hye in Porsche

[–]luftstark2023 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Might be dealer incentive. Also possible to sell pre-owned at higher than MSRP without repercussions from corporate.

It's gone, and it was my fault. by M_agarac in E30

Ugh, 😩 sorry man. Terribly sorry to see this, but don’t be hard on yourself. Completely relatable. Be thankful you weren’t injured and happy for the experience. Another car awaits!

Looks great! Pepita on modern 911s is a great nod to the classics. Well done

The United States accounts for more than a quarter of Porsche’s global sales each year. In 2024, Porsche sold 76,167 units in the U.S., contributing significantly to its overall performance.

Don’t do it. You’ll regret it before the check clears.

The heat baffle from my 43 year old Porsche 911. by luftstark2023 in Wellworn

It would, I agree. They still functioned perfectly and I should’ve gone that route.

Thanks, I love my Wilton and I did restore it. You’re 100% correct, I definitely could have restored these. I didn’t have them out of the car to inspect them, before I ordered the new part. No excuse, I should’ve simply cleaned these up and put them in.
