Porsche 944 Turbo on 2040-cars

1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

Very well maintained, garage kept, collector car.  This car has not been a daily driver, it is kept as a collector car and is only driven in the warm dry summer days.  Since it was kept in a garage, the paint and plastic are preserved.  It recently has had the timing belt replaced along with a number of front seals and belt rollers/bearings.  Valve seals have been replaced.  New front suspension a-arms (replacing the a-arms is the way to replace the lower ball joints).  Engine runs well, shifts smooth.  Mechanically it is very good except the A/C leaks (just put a can of 134 in at the beginning of summer and it will last the summer) and turbo leaks a little oil.  As for the turbo oil, I can see that there is moist oil in around the turbo area, so it leaks outward a little.  And if it sits, it will blow a little smoke out the exhaust until it is all burnt off (then it stops).  Do not let me make you think it is bad, I am just being honest and letting you know everything, which you may not find in the other ads.  Go see the other cars for sale, and then come and see mine, I know which one you will want. Doesn't need anything else.  Tires are fairly new with deep tread, Dunlop SP9000.  Though there is some vibration in the front wheels, they should be rebalanced, maybe weights fell off them.  There is a straight pipe on the car, but the original cat is included in the sale.  There is also a K&N air filter and a boost enhancer.  I do not know for sure if the car was chipped.  It does run around 1 bar if you trust the on board boost gauge.

Cosmetically it looks great from 5ft.  The paint is glossy and deep.  It looks good.  When you see a 944 you can tell it is either well taken care of or it is beat.  There are a lot of beat 944's out there.  This is one that looks nice and will get you a lot of compliments.  Just look at the pictures, it does look that good.  But I am a perfectionist and I must tell you about the flaws.  There are numerous little paint flaws.  There a number of dings (surprisingly they are on the front nose, hood, and roof, not on the side).  There are a number of stone chips on the front nose.  The car was of course repainted, before my time.  It wasn't a horrible paint job, but it wasn't top of the line.  Overall on the outside, like I said, it looks really good from 5ft, but if you start examining it, you will find the imperfections.  There is a chip in the windshield, it is right behind the rearview mirror, so you don't see it.  The inside is really nice. There are really nice Lloyd floor mats.  There are a couple cracks in the dash, but they should be repairable, the dash is not dried out.  The clock is broken.  A little of the vinyl on the roof is undone around the sunroof.  A very easy quick fix, I just never got around to it. Everything else is in really good condition.  The stereo is awesome and is the best part of the car to me since none of my other cars have a setup like this.  There is a JBL 10inch teardrop sub that sits in the seat behind the driver.  And an amp to drive it.  Everything just sits in place, nothing was cut to put it in.  You can remove is all in 5 minutes if you want.  You can really crank it up and feel the base.

I was planning on keeping this car forever.  But I just don't have the time anymore to keep it up.  I mentioned a few things that it could use and generally I would have gotten right on those, but I just don't have the time.  It would be better for someone else to take over and keep up on this car.  I think the car is fairly priced.  You can buy one cheaper, but you will quickly put more money into it.  Just think if you need tires, that is $700 alone.  You can buy one that is much nicer, but it will be twice the price.  I can't remember every little thing about the car so it is sold as-is and you should come and inspect it for yourself.  I have owned six 944's.  A few were ones that I bought on Ebay and was disappointed with after I bought them so I resold them.  This turbo is my keeper, it has the best parts on it and is in better condition than 95% of the 944's out there.
