Default 1989 944 2.7 For Sale 78,000 miles, super solid body & frame

The car is listed on craigslist for 5,700 which is less than the following:
Only $2,500 plus what I have in receipts for 2006/the last 9,500 miles!!!
Now that is cheap for a car that was never hit.

I just got another S2. so.....

I HAVE TO SELL THE 89 NA OR MY WIFE MAY GET RID OF ME.
I DON'T THINK ANY OTHER WOMAN WILL HAVE ME WITH MY AUTO-ADDICTION!


My NA - 78K miles, ABS, Linnen outside Blue leather/power inside. 10 speakers from factory. Split rear seat with cargo cover. Momo steering wheel. Phone dials with tired pirellis. Also, the S2s D90s with good Dunlops are also for sale.

I found this car for my brother in Sept 04 when he sold his 84 944. The owner was a nice middle aged gent. It was his toy. He sold it to help pay for his daughters wedding. It was an exceptionally clean car with the only defect a dash crack and some clear coat issues. It has the window sticker, tool set, air pump, and almost all maintenance records from day one.

The car was "right" then, and the car is "right" now.

The car was never hit, all paint appears to be original. I bought the car from my brother a few months ago to replace my leased GTO when he bought my S2, and I bought a 951.

Recent maintenance:
Jan 07 Windshield replaced $500 & Coverlay set down correctly
Dec 06 Transmission oil changed $50. Battery replaced $80.
Nov 06 Alignment $100
Oct 06 Belts/Rollers/Motor Mounts, belts, rollers $270 in parts from paragon
Sep 06 Tune up $100 parts
May 06 69,500 miles Clutch/PP/TO etc. $2000 receipt
May -ish 06 Rennbay ball joints. $150 in parts
May 05 Brake pads & Front Rotors (thought it was this summer in other post) May be all 4 rotors and local wrench got the rears local. My brother believes rears were replaced with fronts.
Dec 04 45,700 miles Adjust Timing Belt
Sep 04 Belts/Tune up

March 90 2511 mles Oil & filter. Have most records from new, have window sticker. MSRP 36K.

Bad - clear coat has clear coat issues common to Porsche and Volkswagens of the late 1980s. Car looks great at night and from 5 feet away. leak from rear in process of being diagnosed & cured. Believe it is from the rear quarter window. It should be fixed.

Good - Brand new OEM windshield. Other than the presence of a dash cap the interior is in great shape. Non smoker car.

All body panels are original and have VIN stickers. This is a straight solid NA with the 2.7 motor. but for the recent water leak and multiple nodules on my lungs from 9/11 I would keep this car. I didn't want to spend an additional $5,000 on a different car to drive to the train station.

I can also work a deal with the purchaser for the D90s with Dunlops that are on the S2.

Asking $5,800 OBO. If you are thinking of a NA to drive this is it. Make an offer I want it out of here quick. My neighbors dont want to see my cars parked in front of their house.

PICTUIRE LINK:
http://944na.shutterfly.com/action/?a=9DZNW7Zoyhg
The rear carpet it in the garage. It is in perfect shape. I thought pictures of the straightness of the frame etc. is more important than the carpet. It started raining as I was taking the pictures and it was dusk.










I need to get this car out of my driveway pretty fast before my wife realizes how much it cost me to get out of the perfect, clean, new car smelling GTO that I was leasing for next to nothing a month. But noooo I wanted another Porsche as a daily driver. I am a dead man. Get this car out before she tries to reconcile the bank book. A loss on this car is cheaper than a divorce lawyer.

Pre wrath of wifes PMS bump!

The receipts total over $3,000. Add in labor for the ball joints, motor mounts, belts, etc. and you have about $4000.

A 944 roller is worth how much? If you want a 944 make an offer and drive the wheels off this car. Sell the door panels and split rear seat panels and.....

The head alone is worth at least $1500 for those wanting to build a 3.0 Liter Turbo project.

come over today and check it out. you live twenty minutes from atlantic beach.

we can work something out. Pay me what was put into it in the last year and you will be really close to what I want. Say you will take it away real soon and flash a dead president or two in front of me and you may end up with a 944.

I know I am taking a loss on this car, i need to get it out of here quick.

Like jay said, the head is worth at least 1500, say 300 for the seats, say 300 for the door panels and the rear speaker panels and....

Which part of "plus" was misleading? Should i have said "+" instead?

If none of the work was done I bet people would have jumped on it for $3000, then thrown the $4000 into it. I think I can state that as a fact because in the last few months a board member just sold an 87 S with about 160K miles, paintwork, a spun rod bearing, but new konis all around for $2500. believed clutch was original etc. Go figya!!
