Default Please somebody save my '85 944, [EDIT] NOW FS $1K with a bunch of goodies!

OK, I was going to work today and rode my bike past my car and noticed that the read window was shattered Please, I've tried to eBay this car three times, somethin always comes up with the buyer! It's not in bad condition. it runs, and has potential, but now the rear window is broken and I don't want any more harm to come to it! I keep it under a car cover, 25ft off the road behind a locked fence, and it apparently thats not enough. There are new tenants where it's being stored and there's all these evil looking kids running around the area! Please I don't want the car to go to waste! I don't have the money to do registration, insurance, and all the maintence. The engine is worth $500 and the Fuchs are worth something! Please! I bought it two months ago for $2400...
The car is located in Roslindale, MA outside Boston, it has no plates.
Here's a post in which I evaluate the car pros/cons
Here are some other high resloution pics of the car
Remember, no back window anymore

That's rough dude. Go cover it with some plastic, and hang in there. You will find a buyer. Also, I know you probably don't want to put more money into it, but 944 hatches can be had so cheap on ebay, and there is a guy parting a 951 in boston right now. Maybe he will hook you up. Good luck, bro!

I'm also going to tell my friend about this. He is kind of broke, but maybe he can scratch it together!

Note: It is currently under a nice waterproof(although not large rock proof) car cover, in the shade, in a driveway, about 25 feet off the road, behind a locked fence, and yet still things go wrong.

If somehow that car makes to within 300 miles of L. A., I'll buy it.

I was gonna' swap him my Katana for it, but I think the cost of transporting car & bike kills the deal, unless someone knows of a way. I truly feel bad for him. Any good ways to ship a spare hatch?

Bump. I read the other thread describing this car and it sounds like a worthwhile project for someone looking for an early 944. What are the miles on this car? Have you had anything done to it at all since you bought it?

Whoever puts in the time and the parts to fix it up will have a fun daily driver for not a whole lot of money. Good luck with it!

If it were closer to KC, I'd buy it, but I'd have at least a $1k into transporting it. Shame, it looks like it had potential.

Like everyone else, it's tempting to me as well.

I wonder if Pete could be tempted......

Chris, did you sell your 924? Maybe we should all chip in and buy this for you.
