You are going to have to trace the oil leak back to its origin. It could be coming from several places and be leaking like that. If I knew what part or seal had blown I might be able to give you an idea of the parts/labor involved. Im sorry to hear that - good luck with it!

It's ok. I honestly have been thinking of selling the car. It's been a great daily driver and has served me well but there are so many other things going on right now that I am thinking it's just going to be best to part it out.

Is asking $2500.00 to much? Timing belt was swaped out about 40k ago. It has a small dent on the front , nothing major. I am just wondering what a good price is to get rid of it quick and not feel like I sold myself short.

damaged body, leaking oil, and in need of front-end service...sounds like a tough sell @ $2500. Just my $.02

what is a fair asking price? I bought another car today so I am no longer committed to the Porsche. It's going. So I am taking offers. The car is located in Baltimore, MD and is available for pickup anytime!

Don't take this the wrong way but it sounds like a typical busted 924/944. Timing belt is due again (they are supposed to be done every 30K), leaks oil, has dents, and it's an auto. You can normally ****** cars up all day long in this condition for anything from a couple hundred dollars to free.

It's all good I don't take it the wrong way. The car has a lot of nice parts and I am sure will serve someone very well for their needs be it tires, rims, windshield. It will all pan out
