What is my 944 worth?
Blew my timing chain on the way into work this morning and might not want to fix it. Anyone looking to buy a clean 1987 944 n/a with a blown timing chain (possible valve work)? Car is Burgandy with Tan Leather interior. Has a set of 17" Wheels off a C4 and everything works. Ran like a charm before this morning. I'll take some pics later today and throw them up on this board tomorrow.

Get a copy of the latest issue of "Excellence" for a value of your car (in operating condition). As for the repair work, probably subtract $1,600 to $2,000 just to be safe.
Maybe some of the other folks will chime in.
Good luck

If you decide to part it out I might be interested in the wheels

sorry to hear it.. could make like perry951 and keep going. what are your plans for another car? i will be looking to buy an 83-84 that i found with a shot engine (?) for under $1k to play with. i am only considering it because the body is in very good shape (interior is crap but i don't care).
as an afterthought you could always fix it and then turn it around for $4-5k, if it's good shape and you don't want it anymore (we have a ton of resources in marin for porsche repair, you know).
keep the vibe..

I don't feel like dumping $2,000 into it so that I can see what i can get for it as a running car. The body is very straight and the interior is almost flawless. EVERYTHING works on the car. This was actually my second hobby, Rockcrawling (JEEP) being the first. Accordingly, I am gonna buy a large SUV to tow the jeep around and sell the Porsche for whatever I can get. I am thinking about selling the Porsche without the wheels (with stock wheels) for $2,500 and with the wheels for an additional $1,000. Anyone interested?

Where are you located?
I hope you get it but I think it will be a hard sell at that price. Can get a really nice one in the $4-6K range and buying one with major unknown damage in the $2.5-3.5 range might be a little optimistic.

I probably want the rims. Make sure you get a decent picture of them and what tires/condition are on them? How much? Depending on shipping, I might be willing to drive up on my day off.
P.S. Where is Novato, CA?
