1989 Porsche 944 2.7 naturally aspirated 8 valve.

I purchased this car as a package deal (944 turbo. the seller would not sell the two separately)

The good:
- Engine starts right up and runs great. No smoke, no abnormal noises.
- 155k miles
- at 135,195miles, $2300 in receipt spent on full timing belt/waterpump/ hoses/seals/ motor mounts/all belts, etc....
- oil pan gasket replaced
- Spakplugs, fuel filter replaced
- Autoauthority ECU chip
- Oil cooler resealed and coolant flushed at 140k miles $664
- New control arm, serviced and alignment done at 147k miles $970
- Useable tires
- All registration fees paid for and are current (but car needs smog)
- Has DMV moving permit
- Clean title

The Bad:
- Clutch went out. Diagnosed as failed release bearing(noisy when the clutch pedal is not pressed). Clutch pedal goes to the floor without disengaging the clutch
- Guards red exterior: paint faded on the roof and has a dent on passenger front fender. Rest of the paint would buff out nicely.
- Full black leather interior. Passenger seat stitching starting to come apart.
- needs to be towed

$1500. This may be useful for someone who need the engine or maybe just the cylinderhead?
