Sad to say, I have to sell the guards red 84 944 as I will be relocating to Singapore for a 2-year assignment. The car is currently in Vancouver, WA state (opposite of the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon).

I bought her for $6,400 in 2002. Put in $3000+ of preventative maintenance work on her. She is also getting a new clutch, front wheel bearings adjust and timing belt re-tension this week (about $1,500 of work and materials). She also has the rare Limited Slip Differential (LSD) option. I am asking $5000 for her...need a quick sale as we are leaving on August 23rd.

She has 78,000-miles on her right now. I am the 3rd owner. The first owner lived in same state, and had her for about 12 years. The car was pretty much a garage queen and a weekend car. A divorce forced him to sell the car. The second owner knew the original owner and bought it from him. He kept her for 2 years, hardly driven at all. Second owner had to sell the car because he had 4 vehicles in the garage (he owns a paint business and the trucks were taking up garage space). I bought her a couple of years ago, and she has been my daily driver.

The pics and maintenance records are on this website:

Its a shame you must sell this car, and at such a discount. Looks like a great deal for someone. If you were closer, I'd write you a check. Good luck. I really don't see you having any trouble moving this car at this price!

 

Thanks for your condolences Predator

I wish I could keep both the 944 and the 951. The 944 had a lot more preventative maintenance work done on her at this time, and she comes with LSD. The 951 is a non-LSD car, but she is a Turbo after all.

It costs about $84 per month to store each car. Unfortunately, the company will not pay US storage costs. I rolled the dice, and the 951 came out the winner.

 

ACG - I could store the car for you for a couple of years - seriously. A secure location (read: out in the middle of nowhere, but on the other side of the country!) and caring guy. Since I have my own I wouldn't actually need to drive the car, nor would I want to own it... just an idea.
Shipping the car out to MA would be the most expensive part.
Anyway, it's all I can offer. I just don't want to see you lose such a beauty - even if it is "just" an NA!

 

97xray,

Thanks, I appreciate the offer. Unfortunately, we have to work with the cost of shipping her to your neck of the woods. It would then cost just about the same as it would be to store her here in a indoor facility.

Thanks again!

 

Why not just check into storing it? At least that way you (1) wouldn't lose the car and (2) you'd have it when you return to the U.S.?

 

Storing both cars (the 944 and 951) will cost $84 / car / month = $4,032 total.

This is not going to be a very attractive option. This is why I am thinking of selling the 944, and storing only the 951.

 

BUMP

Anyone interested?

 

Too bad you can't find a way to get the car out to our area without spending an arm and a leg. I wish I could help you out.
