Here we are, a Porsche 944. Front engine, rear transmission, perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Manual steering, disc brakes all around, and German reliability. If you are looking for a show car, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a driver's car, stick around!
We bought this car a year ago and took it straight from a dealer's lot to Gerber Motorsports in Seattle and had a complete service performed on the vehicle: all new oil, brake fluid, coolant, new timing belt and bearings (receipts available for all work). This car has been a great driver ever since. How great, you ask? Well, it has been to the top of Hurricane Ridge in February (to the shock of all Subaru drivers with chains on their wheels). This car has been successfully autocrossed three times with the Porsche Club of America this summer, and is simply a fantastic driving car. Also capable of carrying a Costco trip of groceries in the hatchback. Perfect.
What doesn't work:
Odometer
Clock
AC (though the fan still blows, I suspect simply recharging the system will fix it)
Paint is faded. Front impact bumper is crooked (easy fix with a new strut).
Passenger site window doesn't scroll down
What does work:
Everything the driver needs to go
Lights
Gas
Brakes
Clutch
Sunroof (it's manual)
Tires: Brand new rubber put all around in March
Just changed oil (August 23rd) by Gerber Motorsports, they checked the car and said it is good to go!
New DME Relay (August)
Bonus features:
The original owner optioned this car with Fuchs wheels, rare raised steering wheel, and the optional performance suspension package! Did I mention this car is a driver's car?
We also have a $250 wind- and rainproof cover that comes with the car.
Words of caution:
The only mechanical problem we've had is overheating on hot days in traffic jams. Other than that, she's been a reliable daily driver and fun car.
A set of genuine 15" Fuchs wheels is alone over half the value of the asking price. I like to think of the wheels as insurance for this car
Please reply or PM if you are interested. We have receipts for all work performed since we acquired the vehicle.
Cheers,
Tanja and Aaron
