Default FS: 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo

Name: Elric
Location: Chesapeake, Virginia
Price: $6000 obo
Reason for sale: Hit a bit of a financial hiccup and need $$$$ for our trip to Europe

So I owed a bit more than I realized on my taxes and now we're short on money to make it to Europe as planned this year. Since my car is the toy and isn't required for day to day business it must go. I bought this car in January this year and have loved every single bit of driving it. The odometer showed 161xxx when I bought it and is now at 163xxx. I've changed the oil twice since I bought it. Each time with Mobile 1 15w50 and a K&N filter. I've also put Rislone ZDDP additive at each oil change.

The Good: Car runs AMAZING. It's smooth and pretty economical (avg 23mpg city and 28-30mpg highway). Always ran premium fuel. A/C works great. Timing belts, rollers and water pump changed 15k ago and the clutch was changed 3k ago. Previous owner (chubbs aka Chris Redding) did the work himself and the job was done very well. Fuel lines, vacuum lines and coolant lines replaced 15k ago.

The Bad: Two cracks in the dash and the usual tears in the leather seats. Power steering has been removed but all the parts are also included to put it back in including a rebuilt rack (I just happen to like the feel of manual steering). A ripple in the driver side rear quarter panel (see pics). Dash lights are dim (haven't addressed this yet). It also has a very small leak coming from the rear balance shaft seal. It will leave about a nickle size puddle after sitting for a couple days. Every once and a while (once a week if driving it every day) the drop will hit the crossover pipe and you can smell it for a minute or two.

The Mods:
Engine:
- Lindsey Racing AFM adapter w/ K&N Filter
- Lindsey Racing Manual Boost Controller
- Lindsey Racing Dual Port Wastegate
- Lindsey Racing/951MAXHP Chip
- K27/8 rebuilt Turbo w/ V-Band turbine outlet
- Bosch 3Bar FPR
- 3" V-Band Downpipe
- 3" Borla Exhaust w/ stock top
- 3" Magnaflow Catalytic Converter

Drivetrain:
- Sachs Cup Clutch kit

Suspension / Brakes / Wheels:
- Miro Type 279 18" x 8.5" + 56 Front, 18" x 10" +65 Rear
- Pirelli P Zero 225 40 18 Front, Kumho Ecsta ASX 255 35 18 Rear
- OEM Koni Adjustable Height Front Struts (M030)
- Braided stainless brake lines

Exterior:
- Texas Performance Concepts Lip
- Lamin-X yellow tint film on fog lights
- 100W H3 bulbs in fog lights
- Hella E-Code H4 conversion
- Xentec HID 4300k H4 Lo-Hi Beam kit

The price is set at $6000 as is or $5500 without the wheels and $5300 without the lip and the wheels. The price is also negotiable. Car will also come with a huge amount of spare parts.

Thanks guys. I hope she goes to a good home. The car definitely deserves it. I've got body work and paint lined up already but the price will go up once that's done.

What part of europe will you travel to?

Nice car. If your car would be on eu market, it would sell in a heartbeat for that price.
