Gorgeous car and a nice price. Too bad you aren't closer and too bad I have one too many vehicles right now.![]()

As a 944 owner myself, I wholly endorse this classified
Other than that dent, it's a beauty.
I love all cars, I just happen to own a few pieces of german crap at the moment.
#15
Price drop to $3700 since there was an incident with the passenger seat. Unfortunately some coffee spilled on the seat and the cloth cracked after we tried to clean it up. It's not horrible, but there is now a rip in the seat.![]()
#16
Ahhhh! I'd love to take this off your hands but im still working on getting rid of at least one of my cars.

This fits my requirements perfectly, quite interested. Will hopefully be in touch within the next week, a few questions though. Are there ANY issues other than the small dents and rip in seat? ANY motor and or suspension issues/noises? Would you be willing to use this as a daily if needed? How is the clutch and transmission? Thank you, Luke.
#18
Just a few more, do all of the electronics work? (headlights/taillights, all corner markers, wipers etc.) Any warning or brake lights? And is there ANY rust?
#19
No mechanical issues that we are aware of. No dummy lights or weird noises. If you would like to take it to the local Porsche shop for a PPI, I'm sure my Dad would have no problem meeting you there.
My Dad uses the car pretty often in the warmer months, it has never given him any problems.
Good thing about 944's is they are galvanized, no rust.![]()

Thank you for the info, has the timing belt, and balance shaft belt been replaced?

Gorgeous car, been looking for a 944 to take with me when I move out to California. Any interest in a trade?

Long shot, I know, but let me know.

Any pictures of the rip in the seat? Also how's the dash? Any cracking?

I will be near the car this weekend, I'll grab a picture of the seat.
#33
Still wishing you/your dad luck on this. It's tempted me a couple times, but one thing that has me holding back is that the belts and water pump haven't been done for 11 years / 28k miles, so they're basically due right away.
The last thing I'd want with a 360mi drive home is the potential for an interference engine belt snap![]()
#34
That's definitely a fair point.
We've gone back and forth on if we should just do it or not, but have held off since most people like to do it under their own supervision on cars like this. The belt doesn't look bad, but if you're driving 350+ miles to get it home that's not much insurance.![]()
