1987 944

1987 Porsche 944 for sale, 5-speed, approx. 140k mi., car runs but doesn't drive, new clutch ($1,800) but the clutch does not bounce back which is why it doesn't drive. It may be something simple like the cable or a similar device. Have spent over $8,000 to replace many parts - have receipts to show.


Wants $1k

Sounds like a slave cylinder, no?

I'm thinking a lowball offer to see if he will bite.

Good buy?

PS: Paint looks like it SUCKS

Yeah, I'd say so. Lowball him.

It could be a good buy, but that said is there a way you can look at it first?

If you have a true **** box, then its not worth the headache, on the other hand if its the clutch master cyl keeping the clutch from bouncing back (happend on my first 951) then its a fairly cheap fix..... lots of factors my friend.

Hmm... I sent an email asking if I could check it out. Only problem, is that its 2.5 hours from me. Anyway a lister could check it out for me?

Its either this, or a 90 Laser FWD Turbo to use as a winter car (the Laser cranks but doenst start after a timing belt job..sounds like bent valves or something as simple as a timing issue?)

Where's the car Mike?

bpp944

mike, it's definitely a slave cyl. My '85 did that occasionally, I just pulled it back w/my toe while driving.

If you can't drive it you're going to want to have a serious PPI done on it.

That slave could be the tip of the iceberg. You'd have to be stupid or deceptive to sell a car without fixing a relatively cheap problem that makes it undrivable.

edit, wait, he wants 1K? The head is worth that, if it's good!

Hard to go THAT wrong for a grand.

Work backwards...what's the breakup value if you take it home and part it?

2.5 hrs from Red Hook could be near me...where's it at, maybe I could check it out for you?

Especially after being willing to spend 8 large on other parts...
