Default 89 944 S2 x 2

I bought this car today, tranny shifts smooth the driver seat is bad, runs strong but my surprise was the 220 code I lifted the car and kaboom both tires spin in the same direction. Do I part or do not part. Are S2 heads desirable, about the 3L block?


Update just bought another 89 944 S2

Oooh - that is a pretty one. I think you could more money out of it whole! Nice score on the LSD.

Here is what I picked up today - not nearly as nice! https://rennlist.com/forums/924-931-...ght-today.html

Josh, there is a lot of good parts on that car, throw one of S's engine there and you'll have a race car.

how much does a S2 sell for? this is my 2nd S2 out of 30+ 951's

about 10% less than a 968 in the same condition. For a good one I would expect to pay $10k+, one that's got missing records or some issues will go down in price from there.

How many miles are on it and has it been painted? Anything broken - AC, PS, door locks, sunroof motor, power seats, rear hatch release? How does the clutch feel and does the tranny make any funny noises?

Aaron it has records, the only problem it has is the bad seat and a fainted hatch carpet.

That car looks like it would wax up nicely and sell pretty easily, don't part it.

Well it really boils down to something much more complex than the mechanical condition of the car

There are a couple/few comparable S2s either on eBay or CL nationally---basically same mileage, give or take the same shape. One is $6500, one is $8K and one is $8500 if I remember correctly---one of them is a cab but not sure which and I just got in from a flight and I'm too tired to look. If it wasn't on the opposite coast I'd give you $5.5K as is and we'd both be happy---you'd double your money in 24hrs and I'd stay in the bottom of my price range instead of the top! LOL!
