Earlier this summer I got a call from somebody that had bought my first 944 – an ’86 NA. He found my name and number in the glove box on a piece of paper that listed the work that had been done on it while I owned it.
He said it was still extremely tight, didn’t leak a drop and the ‘new’ Konis were great. He was impressed that it only had 90k miles on it and was very happy with the purchase. Hmmmm….so I talked to him about how well the car ran and confirmed that he thought it was a great car…..and them I told him that when I sold it almost 10 years ago it had over 100k miles on it. He was bummed out about it so I reminded him that he was just convincing me how great the car is and I told him that nothing was any different – just go out and enjoy it!
