This 1984 Porsche 911 was somebody's beloved car and it shows. They serviced it religioulsy at the Porsche dealer and the car always got whatever it needed. People love the 1984 Carrera since it has the much improved 3.2 liter engine and is a cost effective car to own. This car comes to you with only 100,000 miles on it. It has been stored for the lst several years and now is available for its next driver. This car is a driver's car and is not a garage queen by any standard. The interior is unrestored and has some blemishes. The exterior was repainted Cobalt Blue a few years back and the finish is still excellent. There is no rust anywhere. The car does have a scratch on the hood that could be touched up to look like the rest of the car. The car has updated wheels and lowering springs. It has factory front and rear spoilers, power windows and moonroof and more. It runs and drives excellent. It does not leak oil onto the garage floor and is a good car. For the money, you cannot go wrong. This car is destined to go up in value and has been mechanically maintained to a tee! Would you like a test drive? If you are near to our Suburban Philadelphia location, we welcome you to stop in and get a personal experience with this car. If, however, you are pineing for a 911 and reign from a good distance away, please enjoy our virtual test drive below: Step up to the Carrera’s modern and stylish Cobalt Blue Metallic exterior and you are immediately drawn to the Carrera "Whale Tail" and corresponding chin spoiler. The car's bright, fun color hints at the excitement ahead of you. This car speaks a little louder than the traditional Kiln Red Porsches of the 80's. Open the solid driver's door and step into the sumptuous cocoa leather cabin. You feel like you’ve inserted yourself into your favorite pair of leather gloves. Of course you’ve worn them for years, so they fit perfectly. They’re a little bit scuffed around the edges, which adds character. They possess the soft musk of aged hide. Before you is a black, three spoke steering wheel and a bank of orange and white rotary gauges. The odometer tells you that this car’s been enjoyed a little bit more than 100,000 miles, which means it hasn’t been driven nearly enough! Close the door with a metallic – bang! – and you’ll pause in search of the door handle. You find that it’s a horizontally ridged rectangle that’s been engineered to fit flush with the arm rest. Everything about this car feels and looks so precise and exact that you can envision it all line drawn on graph paper. Clutch in. Feels stiff but has a precise action. Right foot on the brake; it’s like stepping on a rock! Twist the ignition with your left hand and the flat six fires to life and then simmers into that signature idle chatter. Manuever the tall, plastic metal shifter into first – it feels old V-dub sloppy with lots of initial play but then – click! – you’re locked into gear. Slowly pull away. Hear the engine at your back: rrrruuuuuhhhhhhrrrrr getting progressively louder into a wwwhhhhaaaaaa. Tug the steering wheel and you find your forearms and biceps engaged in the rotation process. Shift to second. Again, your hand maneuvers the gear selector through what feels like acres of dead space until – click!- your home. Pick up is smooth and spirited to 4000rpm but at that hinge point something nasty happens. It’s as if the old Porsche rolls up its wide fenders, takes in a metaphorical breathe of air (the air cooled engine’s naturally aspirated) and just – bolts. BbrrrrrrrrrRRRoooooaaarrrrrr You’re in the torque zone and the exhaust note turns into a righteous howl as you sail all the way to the 6520 rpm. Time for third – you’re flying. Wind rushes round the upright a-pillars and you’re coming up on your first sharp corner. How many horses does this thing have, again? Hard on the brakes now and you find little pedal movement yield lots of response, though go too deep and you’re audibly and physically reminded how precarious the fast life was pre-ABS/ESP. The old Teuton hands you nothing but a challenge if a speedy experience is what you’re after. And after it, you most definitely are! Into the bend. The steering’s so lineal; there is nothing, not one nuance, twig, bump, crack, berry, pebble that the tires touch that your hands don’t register. You’ve never experienced helm feedback so tactile. Not in any BMW 3-Series; not even in modern Porsches. Adjust your course tighter into the corner and the 911, however communicative, is interpreting your steering inputs as suggestions; the skinny front tires fighting to bite in while the impatient rears warn that they’re just itching to lead the way. In these moments you’re never unaware that all of the car’s essential mass is behind you. That said, while there’s little on paper that pins down the front, it feels planted – especially (and surprisingly) when compared with modern sports cars. The firm upgraded and updated suspension remains nicely flat corner through corner but keeps most of the harshness at bay. Porsche managed a beautiful and precise balance. The US spec 911in ’84 was good for 0 to 60 in 6.3 seconds. All these years on, our Cobalt Blue sports car feels very much up to the task. We should note that immediately following all of this fast travel, the quarter-century-old air cooled engine’s temperature remains a constant normal with no signs suggesting otherwise. According to factory materials, aerodynamics would’ve halted progress somewhat thereafter with the quarter mile arriving in 14.7 seconds and somewhere close to a minute, the top speed of 146 mph. Honestly, you’d never know nor care. By the time you’re approaching the century mark, the engine’s already on the boil, your senses alight, and your ass surging to 110 in third gear. And herein lies the magic lesson to this old 911’s tale: simple is beautiful. In the ’84 911 Carrera, the last of the original 911 series from the 60s, Porsche engineered a rudimentary sports car that connected the driver to machine in a way so sensationally linear it now seems foreign. It’s proof that we don’t need gobs of power or a technological arsenal of nannies to have fun behind the wheel. If a car has the right properties, as this Carrera has in spades, then the essentials are at our fingertips. All we need to bring is our own raw nerve and some actual talent. And that, basically, is a beautiful thing. If this verbal test drive gets you thinking, please call or email and make this car yours. Our last Vintage 911 sold in less than a week, and we expect this car to be no different. Call us at (610)644-6112 to make this car yours today.

History: My name is Dave Coughlin. I founded Car Connections USA, Inc in an effort to fix much of what I believe is wrong with the car industry. I graduated from the Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania in 1996. After graduation, I spent 6 years working in Public Accounting and Consulting for PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP. During my tenure at PwC, people would often ask me to help them find, buy or sell cars. It frustrated me to no end to have only limited ability to help people negotiate. Frankly, I was disgusted by the lack of knowledge and professionalism in the automobile industry. In 2002, I resigned my position with PwC to chase my dream in the automobile industry. I committed all of my resources to building an automobile business based upon knowledge, integrity and value. Today, our Dealership provides these three factors to our clients. We offer you our knowledge at no cost. If you have a question about a car you own or are considering buying, we encourage you to contact us for advice. We offer integrity by giving honest advice and honest descriptions of the cars we sell. If you ask us to compare one of our cars and another one you’re considering, we will give you accurate data about both cars to help you decide upon the right one. Value is offered in our low prices. We sell our cars consistently for thousands below franchise dealer prices. How much are you willing to pay for marble floors and fancy showrooms? We operate on a low overhead model that enables us to sell cars with minimal markup. We know your time is valuable and we appreciate your taking time to learn more about our organization. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. We are looking forward to making your next car buying experience a positive one!

Please click below to apply online. DEPOSIT We require a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of auctions close. This will hold the car for you and you exclusively for up to 7 days while you gather your funds or finalize your financing. We will refuse any other offers on the vehicle and will begin preparing the vehicle and documents for your delivery. Any financing arrangements are strictly between you and the lender and do not impact your contract to purchase the vehicle. The deposit is not refundable if you change your mind or if you cannot obtain financing on the vehicle. Should you need us to hold the car beyond the week, we ask for a deposit of $500 for every $10,000 of vehicle value. This will protect you as well as us. This deposit is the only liquidated damages you would be expected to forfeit should you fail to follow through with our contract to purchase the vehicle. Please call us at (610)644-6112 before bidding to inquire about any special arrangements outside of the terms listed above. SHIPPING We work with several shipping companies and are quite pleased to assist you in getting quotes and arranging pickup of the vehicle. That said, any shipping contract is between you and the shipping company selected. Car Connections USA, Inc and its employees, directors and managers bear no resposibility for delays in shipping, damage to or loss of the vehicle once it is in the shippers control or any other liability related to the shipment of your vehicle. When the shipper picks the vehicle up at our facility, we will review the condition of the vehicle with the driver and will sign a Bill of Lading describing any deficiencies or cosmetic blemishes noted during our walkaround. Many shippers try to protect their liability by marking the Bill of Lading as though the car has hundreds of imperfections. We will not allow this to happen. We encourage you to examine the vehicle closely upon its arrival and to take up any concerns about damage or cosmetic imperfections at the time of arrival BEFORE SIGNING THE BILL OF LADING. Once you sign the Bill of Lading, the shipper is realeased from liability and you are on your own. Should you find surprise damage and see that it is on the Bill of Lading, please contact us promptly and email us the Bill of Lading. We will compare it to our copy and notify you of any discrepancies. Some shippers damage a vehicle and simply document the damage on the Bill of Lading as though it existed at the time they picked it up. We describe our vehicles and find it VERY unlikely that you would find a surprise upon arrival. Keys, Books, Nav Disc What you see is what you get. We try our best to procure books and extra keys from the previous owners. That said, we do not always have all keys, books, floormats, or other accessories for every car. Therefore, we can only guarantee you will receive the accessories that are photographed. For instance, if we show a navigation display with a map, there is a navigation disc with the car. If we show books and keys in the photos, you can count on getting those with the car. If you do not see it, please assume the item is not included or email to confirm. Occasionally, the previous owner will send us these materials after we have photographed the car. In these instances, we will make sure to forwrd them to you as the new owner. We encourage you to email us or call if you are concerned about specific items like floor mats, spare keys, nav discs, DVD headsets, etc. Vehicle Mileage I started this business as a result of my love for cars. Many of these cars are driven during the course of our sale. Accordingly, vehicle mileage may vary from that stated in the auction due to test drives, maintenance, and other use. This mileage should not exceed 1,000 miles over the reading stated in our listing. We appreciate your understanding of this matter. Balance of Factory Warranty We estimate factory warranty expiration dates using vehicle production dates and Carfax information. We are not responsible for factory warranty expiration dates, remaining warranty time, type, validity, or other information. If you want to be certain of the exact warranty expiration date, terms, validity, etc., please verify this information with a certified franchise dealer of the applicable car make. In the course of business, we try to match our risk with areas where we have control over our service level. We hope you understand this. Transfer of Title and Risk We insure the vehicles on our lot during the time we have them available for sale. Upon completion of the financial elements of the transaction (you paying us), we encourage you to insure the vehicle from that date forward. We bear NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that happens to your vehicle once it is out of our control. Vehicles left at our facility for more than 3 days after payment will not be covered by our insurance unless previous arrangements have been made in writing prior to payment. Inspection Every one of our cars goes through a visual and basic safety inspection. During this inspection, we look for previous repairs, both mechanically and cosmetically. We offer every car which passes our inspection with an available extended maintenance contract (warranty) at additional cost. This Contract enables you to have the vehicle serviced at your choice of repair facilities, including franchise dealerships. We are a qualifying dealer able to offer this warranty because of our inspection process and track record for selling quality vehicles. Cars which we cannot certify will not be sold unless specifically disclosed as such in our advertising. We are not responsible for other state inspections. We also strongly encourage buyers to make an inspection of the vehicle prior to completing their transaction. This can be done in person, through an independent repair facility or local body shop within 10 miles of 19380. We will coordinate the transportation to and from such a facility cheerfully to help you gain comfort on the condition of the vehicle. We are committed to accurately describing the condition of the vehicles we sell, but realize that a forgiveable blemish to one eye may be unacceptable damage to another. We disclose any known defects in our vehicles. An independent look at a vehicle is the safest way to ensure everyone's happy. FEES Our auctions have no hidden fees. All in State vehicles are subject to a $108 Documentary fee and out of State vehicles are subject to a $129 Documentary fee. This fee covers the paperwork involved in transferring a vehicle into your name. It applies to dealers, wholesalers, international transactions, priests, you get the gist. We also offer a 30 day transit tag for buyers from outside of PA. This tag is available at a cost to you of $55 and we will need a valid insurance card and driver's license to issue this tag. The last optional service is a Vehicle Prep Package. We offer a Deluxe Detail for $185 which includes the vehicle to be detailed professionally and a full tank of premium fuel when you pick it up (vehicles over 25 gallons may not apply). This may sound odd to you, but we often ship cars, in which case they are sent with very little fuel at the request of the shipping company. Condition Report We strive to disclose each and every blemish on a vehicle when we create our listings. The stated overall condition of the vehicle, whether it may be termed showroom, clean, mint, or otherwise, is determined upon the model year & mileage of the car in comparison to other cars of similar age & miles. This is a pre-owned car, and buyers must be aware that ordinary wear is associated with all pre-owned cars. We do our best to photograph any imperfections which we feel may be noticeable or offensive to a prospective buyer. Keep in mind that not all imperfections can appear on a digital photo. Most cars may have touch-ups, door dings, scratches, scuffs, seat or interior wear but we do our best to ensure that none of these issues takes away from the overall appearance of the car. If a car has 10 scratches, we will reference those 10 scratches verbally and show a photograph of the one we perceive to be the most offensive.
