The car was in an accident prior to my purchase. Right front fender was replaced. All broken parts were replaced and there are no after affects from the accident.

Drivers side view mirror glass fell out on a hot day. Currently using “fake glass” until I get a replacement
AC needs a recharge (blows air but not cold)
Needs new rear rotors (I have a brand new set in box from LR w/ pads)
Right rear rotor has some play in it (possibly needs new wheel bearings)


A couple more things to add since a couple people have asked:

I am the 2nd owner of this car.
I was not the owner when the Andial engine was installed
I do have receipts of all the Andial work done.
Yes its fast

 

:drool: Why are you selling it? You can't sell it yet, I haven't riden in it.

Aside from that, this car is very nice and is easily worth that much. Good luck with the sale.

 

I hope it sells for asking price. I had the distinct privilege of driving this car on the long straight roads of Tracy. My impressions? Hmm... Well let's just say that if you have $14,000 and you like garnet red, you are retarded if you don't buy it. Shoot, even if you don't like garnet red. It looks awesome in person - the color makes it humble, and the lack of external mods is misleading but elegant. And Roger has fixed so many things on it I would trust it to be reliable and sorted out.

Roger, what are you plans for the 89 944? If you sell that too, you'll be Porscheless!

 

You can't sell! Not after all the money and time you dumped into it.....

 

Doh! Roger, say it ain't so?!? You upgrading?!?

 

lol and i quote from his craigslist add: "And if you look any younger than 30 you better bring your daddy becuase I am not letting you drive this car."

 

Roger, can I get a test drive?

 

Sorry Ashkan.....this car is beyond you......better stick to slow golfs........

Of course if you show up with cash....well then we can talk.

 

Well I have my eyes on something a little different. If the car doesnt sell I will move much further down the dark path and I fear once I do there will be no return. I still have the 944 and intend to make it a nice little track car.

 

It really is a tough decision. Its been a love/hate relationship with most of the hate at the beginning and lots of love at the end. The car is running the best it ever has now.

****.....yesterday morning I took it to work and the rear tires were a little cold (38 degrees in Tracy) and I spun the wheels in first so I let off the gas a little and shifted into second and boom the wheel are spinning again....so I let off the gas a little and shift into 3rd......and of course wheels spinning again.......got into 4th and all was good......110mph and I was still on the onramp. Im going to miss mornings like that.

 

I hate to see you sell it Roger, but I'd also hate to see you sink more time and money into it as well. I hope you get a good price for it!

Regards,
Russell

 

Thanks for the kind words Arash. No intentions to sell the 944.....I know your still lusting after the 2.7 head......haha

 

I hear ya -- that car's been quite a bit of work, but a hoot when it goes! It'll probably take some time to sell -- it's one of those "needs the right buyer" type car.

So what's your plan if you sell? NSX?

 

dam....who told you about the NSX?



disclaimer - I dont own this NSX but it is for sale and I have my eye on it.

 

Just a guess -- you've mentioned it often enough.
