Default How much should I sell this for???

I have a 944 S2 w/ 119K miles. Guards Red. The only things that don't work are the cd player, sunroof and clock. New Tires in back, tires in the front are 75%. Pilot sports tires. Interior is in great shape like new. Paint is in good condition and original.

Very difficult to say without a more complete service history. Note, I would be wary buying a car that has items like clock, sunroof, CD player etc. not working -- it looks like the owner was somewhat less than fastidious about level of upkeep and maintenance. Personally, a fastidious PO is the main thing I look for. Undermaintained 944s -- and there are now lots of them out there -- are generally a very poor deal, imho.

go to the website clark's garage and under the "garage shop manuals" section there is a writeup on fixing the sunroof.

My car's sunroof was broken when I bought it. So was my car's...everything else.

So fix that sunroof...it'll be worth your time when you're trying to sell it.

Depending on the quality of the records, and the last time it had a timing belt done, I guess $5,000 on the low end (no records, tb overdue), and $9,000 on the very high end (complete records just had a tb).

Where are you located? Seems like (from what I've heard here) East Coast prices are higher than West Coast.

im from dallas texas the car is as good of shape as i have seen, the previous owner has had the cd player rebuilt twice in order to maintian original equipment status with the car.the radio and the equalizer both work great and the sound is excellent from the speakers,its just the cd portion of the radio it acts as if the laser is out of allignment.the clock has not been fixed because its between 350-500 for a replacement and thats just stupid.the sunroof is a bit of an enigma.ihave replaced the relays and fuses and checked the switch in the console and yet it acts if there is no power.it will manually go up and down but at no point will the motor engageor activate.

hate to be the one that pees in your cornflakes. I recently as in less than six months ago sold a 90 S2 with two sets of rims and real nice michelins on one set, a brand new spring centered clutch, 10k on the belts and wp, M030 double adjustable konis all around, lowered to euro height and corner balanced/aligned, no dash cracks, pretty decent paint, and a whopping 72k on the clock for a little over 8k with the original air compressor.

And i paid a helluva lot more for my 89 951 with 49k miles, a replaced clutch, in need of belts, etc. the LSD and fact that it had factory M030, one owner since early 90s, no winter miles, and some other nonsense added a lot to the cost.

those three things are typical 944 issues. CDs back then were junk and broke regularly, sunroof gears are know to strip and for the little they do many just leave them closed, and the clock is a waste to many. so i wouldnt be so hard on those items.

but i do agree with you and Jay Leno who says you dont buy the car you buy the owner.
