Been looking for over 6 months for a manual white 944/2 and finally found one. What do you guys think of the problem that it has?

Looks good, and from what I know the AU market if very expensive for these cars.

I still dont see how you guys shift with your left hand!

What does being "sold without roadworthy" mean? Some kind of registration or something?

Noisy balance shafts? I have no clue...

it's priced too hi for a non running vehicle.
if you can't do the work yourself, stay away.

You say its too high but in Australia 955/1's go for $11,000-$12,000. So it is a good price but does anyone know what the problem may be?

yes, when they are driveable and don't need anything.

I'd avoid...noisy balance shafts? Never heard of that one. perhaps the roller/idler is bad for the balance belt?

I'd want to hear it running. Not running = 1/2 price, IMO.
