Check this out. What do you guys think. I'm just not sure about the service history. http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/1444303549.html

 

looks nice

 

wow, seems to be a nice find, but then they all do at first

If you've done your homework, you know to ask about clutch, belts, compression #'s, if he would agree to a PPI, . . .

His pricing is very attractive/realistic.

 

a 78k mile car that has not sat in an open field for a few years with its windows open would not need the work that was done. I had six 944s five with under 80k and one with 100k. not one of them had a cracked armrest.

try common sense here. If you owned a Porsche that you didnt drive, would it be in the sun, or in a garage. if in a garage....

you get the idea.

you may be right, i may be crazy, but...

 

I dunno...I've had my 951 for a year and already replaced the center console cover plastic piece twice...they are flimsy and break easily. I also recovered it with a piece from 928leather.com as it was showing signs of wear, and I bought my car with 80k.

 

my car has 58k on it and i replaced the armrest on the console, the steering wheel and the shift boot. Depends on how the car was taken care of or stored- sun etc...

 

Go into purchasing a 944 with at least 4k in your pocket to spend on whatever surprises that may arise despite history, you never know what kinda shop did the work on the car.

I bought a beautiful S2 in great shape, but I sunk alot of cash in PM stuff.

Oh ya, you might get the this boost bug I hear about. Ppl knowing they can get HP cheap from a turbo, which may lead to cha-ching $$! in possible stress issues on the car. So do you homework before modding your boost!

My 2cents

 

i did a full engine rebuild at 66,000 miles so check it out

 

I wrote him an email, don't know if he's a rennlist member or not, but a nice guy. Here's what he said. "I think it had three previous owners, i dont know why it was repainted other than it is 24 years old, it was probably faded considering the rear hatch carpet is faded, i dont know where the previous owners kept it, i keep it in a garage. I obtained the car from my dads friend who is a disabled vet and just cant get in or out anymore, he had it for about 5 years, he has no service records other than his buddy did all the maintanance on it at his shop. I also have an 89 with 26k miles on it and wanted more of a daily driver, now i have two i dont really drive so im selling this one. Turbo pulls good, just not at full boost, it sounds like a weak wastegate spring, ive troubleshot most everything else, vaccum leaks, bypass valve, ect...Its a nice ca for 6k, thats what i have in it with new upholstery, alternator, tires. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for looking."

 

It's on ebay too. check it out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...#ht_500wt_1182

 

That guy buys cars, cleans em up and resells them very often.
Almost always a car on CL from him.

He sold a lister a car just a few months ago - black one with a bra in his avatar, not sure the user name.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had it painted...

 

That car does look like it got a lot of sun and it is missing one of the clamps on the fuse box.

 

I think I'm going to hold out on this one. I'm not in a hurry at all. Thanks for all of the replies. The last 944 I had was an non-turbo with 76,000 miles on the clock when I bought it. the car was immaculate for having the lower mileage. There was definitely no reason for a paint job either. So I'm going to keep looking. i would like to find a deal though, with the market being low and all. But time will tell, thanks again everyone!
