I say buy it on the condition that an agreed specialist inspects the car (preferably a dealer for the PPI) then brings all maintenance items up to date and repairs any faults found before you buy.

Then drive and enjoy it. What other car can you buy for the price that will provide so much enjoyment?

MichelleJD,

I clicked on the link to your pictures and noticed that you have a 944 with a turbo front bumper. One of the other Rennlist users said that he noticed that his engine ran cooler after replacing his 944 bumper with a 944 turbo bumber. Did you experience lower engine temperature after installing the turbo bumper?

MichelleJD

Sorry Fishman, I can't answer that as it had the turbo nose when I bought it. It was placed on the car within months of purchase by the original owner. The PO I bought it from purchased it in 1990 with the nose on (he is a friend of mine and I've known the car since he bought it).

Im with Matt H.

If the car is in showroom condition, albeit perhaps with some old decaying belts and hoses, you should still be pricing it as a concours vehicle. Im assuming the vehicle is in concours condition. Most car shows dont need the car to be running. It just has to look new. You trailor it in, you trailor it out. A car nut who does the regional and national car show circuit would like a car like this. Granted, those people are few and far between, but you have an oddball car. Selling this car to a guy who just wants to fart around in it on the weekends will not bring you what its worth.

The only downside I can see as a concours car is actually the mileage. If the car isnt perfect, it should be. In many shows, ties in voting are broken by giving the trophy to cars with the highest milage. A 7,000 mile car should be cosmetically perfect inside and out.

Dont advertise the car in Autotrader and expect a ton of nibbles. Youll need to spend money to make money. Look into the classifieds of Robb Report or DuPont Registry etc. Thats where people have the money to afford 7,000 mile cars and are willing to pay that premium.

Thanks anyway MichelleJD

sorry about that, I guess i saw 7k but my brain immediatly thought 70k and thats what i typed.

MelissaInNJ

That's because when we talk 944's its almost never about ones with mileage that low...70K would be more likely and that's why your brain probably read it that way!

if this is concourse quality more than 20k, probably closer to 25k.
