1989 Porsche 944S2 For Sale. Baltic Blue Metallic exterior / Linen partial leather interior. 121,3xx miles, 5 speed manual. The car is all stock. I am the second owner, purchased from the original owner in NJ in 1993 at about 45k miles. The engine was replaced by PowerTech in NJ with a '90 S2 motor at 95k miles in 1995; the engine has a total of about 75k miles; clutch has about 25k miles; new timing/balance belts; recent battery. Brand new Continental Max Performance tires on stock D90 wheels. The brakes have more than 50% rotor and pad life left. There are no rips or tears in the leather seats. The odometer broke, but the gears were replaced by Overseas Speedometer in TX with no loss of reported mileage. The horn ring was repaired, and the horn works. The flaps for the heat were repaired and are operational. The tailpipe was corroded and replaced with a Turbo tailpipe; the remainder of the exhaust system appears good. The Air Conditioning was recharged and now blows cold air. The sunroof is operational. Hood shocks and rear hatch shocks work. New windshield wipers. The car rides and handles very well. During my ownership, the car has been serviced by Ray Catena Porsche (in central NJ), Paul Miller Porsche and PowerTech (both in northern NJ), Woodlawn Garage (in Philadelphia), and BodyMotion (in central NJ). I would estimate the exterior at a 7.5 (7 or 8) out of 10, and the interior at 6.5 (6 or 7) out of 10. I have the original owner's manual, both keys, and the wheel lock key.

Disclosure: The car was hit in the rear in 1994 and repaired at an excellent NNJR PCA-recommended facility. I've never had any drivability problems, and the paint has held up well.

Issues: The dashboard top is cracked. There is some paint fade on the sunroof. The dashboard gauge lights are very weak at night (it's a common problem). The stone guards are well worn. The leather shift boot has slight wear. The car has been outside for a good portion of its life; there is some underbody rust, but, according to the techs at BodyMotion, it's nothing serious.

I'm selling this car to reduce my automotive assets; I just sold my 993 after going to a more modern platform, the GT4. The car drives really well, especially on the new tires, and it looks pretty good too. I seriously would not hesitate to drive this car across the country. The car is located in east-central NJ. From what I can tell from the market, the 968s and 944s, especially the Turbos and S2s, are appreciating, so I believe it's reasonable to ask $9,944.00, OBRO. Please contact me via PM or via e-mail at s4caster@gmail.com and if anyone wishes to chat I will provide my phone number.

Thanks for looking and thanks for your interest!

I know it's nigh on winter, but I'm hoping somebody's looking for a nice 944S2. So, I'm bumping this up to the top. I've had some mild interest, but the car is still available. Thanks for looking!

Bumping this up to the top...

I've had some inquiries, especially on my CL ad, but no serious offers as yet. This is a really pretty and pretty nice car, and I think it's a good value especially considering comparables. If no serious interest is shown, I'll wait until spring. I drove it today, and it drives like it did when I purchased it. Thanks for looking!

Did you ever sell this car?

9elheven

Hi gts4, I still have the car and it's still for sale. I saw your PM and had responded to it; perhaps it didn't get back to you for whatever reason. As we've just had our hopefully final snow of the winter, I'm planning on stepping up my advertising on this car. Please let me know if you need an e-mail or a phone number. Thanks so much for your interest.

With spring springing, I'm bumping this ad to the top. I just had the A/C recharged and it blows cold air; no leaks were detected. This car drives very well and looks pretty good. Thanks for looking and for your interest!

Check with a poster GoKart, he's looking for a coupe

Bump for the weekend and for emergent Spring in the Northeast!

9elheven

Bump. Some interest has been indicated, but this car is still for sale. It's a fun driving and good-looking 944S2.

I'm bringing my ad to the top for anyone who'd like a nice 944S2 for the upcoming beautiful spring and summer weekends.

OK, RLers, I'm bumping this to the top for the weekend. Please don't make me have to sell this on CL. It's a sweet-driving 944S2; I just drove it this afternoon for some errands, and it's peppy, handles well, and looks pretty good for a near-30 year old car. New tires, new belts, AC works, sunroof works, pretty color combo. I hope to pass this car on to a 944 fan. Thanks!
