Default FS: 1987 944 Turbo

Asking $10,500. I would take $10,000 from a Rennlist member.

When I was in college, I worked at Roger Jobs Porsche Audi VW in Bellingham WA. I sold this car new for over $36,000 (in 1987!) and drove to Portland to pick this car up for the customer. I loved it. When I delivered the car to her, I said if she ever sold it, I'd buy. Happily I bought it from her in 1994 and have had it ever since.

There weren't a lot of options on the cars.. this car does not have ABS or the limited slip differential, however it does have the factory alarm.

I have the car in Redmond Washington. Truthfully I'm hoping that someone who appreciates these cars will want to buy and continue taking great care of her which is why I joined Rennlist. I am open to feedback about my car, price and pictures.

Here is a link to where there is more info and pictures:

Cheers.

Default Thanks for the feedback

Thanks for the feedback. I haven't had anyone interested as of yet, (it's on craigslist and Autotrader also with the same post) so I appreciate the comments on how I have put the posting together.

Cheers

Default 4K Quattro

Yeah, some would say I'm stuck in the '80s. I think I still have a couple Crockett & Tubbs posters somewhere...

The 4kQ has about 350,000 miles on her. The odo quit at 264k, but I think that's cloese. She's been a commuter car for the last four years.

I ended up buying a new car and need to sell the 951. I've lowered the price on Autotrader to 9,500. I would be willing to entertain offers if anyone is seriously interested.

I am still interested in selling my 87 944 Turbo. I believe I have one of the nicer all original cars available.

I just has my mechanic fix the A/C. There was a Schader valve missing and all the cooling juice leaked out. That's replaced and she blows ice cold now.

I also wanted him to look at the the car because the temp gauge was going to the top white line before the fan came on. Turns out it needed a new switch so the fan would come on sooner. Now it comes on and keeps the car's coolant temp at the bottom white line as it should be.

I have updated the car's web page at:
http://www.ccfcproducts.com/944/1987_944_turbo.html

I filmed and uploaded a video of my running through the car's mechanicals as well as running it full throttle through a couple gears. See it here:
