1983 Porsche 944 for sale – $4,000

This has been my weekend/fun car and I have only put around 1,000 miles/year on it since buying it in 2009. I have put a lot of time and money into mechanically maintaining this car.This is not a show car but would make a solid daily driver or first car. I'm at about $15,000 (have all receipts) for maintenance and repairs invested. I tried to post more pics but they show up sideways for some reason - I can send more upon request.

This car has been serviced at Don Galbraith Motors (Now Euro Motorcars) in Devon PA since the 90’s by the previous owner and myself and I have all records including the original window sticker. Along with changing the oil every year (approximately every 1000 miles) with Brad Penn - Penn Grade, I have done the following since I have owned it.

Some Items replaced/fixed since July 2009:

· Timing belt

· Water pump

· AC conversion

· Motor mounts

· Odometer rebuild

· New OEM exhaust system

· heater control valve

· HVAC switch gear

· Radiator coolant valve

· Replaced all bulbs in HVAC portion of dash

· Battery

· Sunroof seal

· Rear hatch seal

· Rear hatch pin (right)

· Both hatch pin seals

· Right side steering knuckle

· AC serviced and Freon filled

· New brake pads and rotors

· Replaced relay for turn signal

· Replaced windshield washer tubing

· New wheel bearings

· New shift boot

· New sun visor hardware



Ongoing project:

· Changing out automatic antenna with manual one. The antenna on these cars is poorly located under the front wheel well and is highly susceptible to corrosion and subsequent malfunction. It was recommended to me to make this change to a manual unit since the automatic systems continually fail – plus the radio doesn’t work anyway (see below). I have removed the old unit and have purchased the new manual antenna but have not yet installed it.





Things that are not great:

· Driver’s side fender has paint scratch. Older woman in a jetta backed into me. No dent just scratched paing. The paint still has a lot of clear coat left although there are a fair amount of minor blemishes as you would expect from a 31 year old car. The previous owner did a lot of touch up to small paint nicks around the car with what appears to be color matched paint. Given that it is a metallic color, they are however, easily seen.

· The radio doesn’t work. The radio and speakers are original and I guess I could have had it repaired (I like keeping it stock) but I like listening to the engine when I drive anyway.

· The dash has several cracks.

· Slight water leak onto trunk carpet under hatch.

· There is a cigarette burn on carpeting in between passenger and driver’s seat. I have never smoked in the car but apparently the previous owner did. However, it does not smell of smoke – I never would have purchased it if it did.

· Rear defroster has been disconnected. Previous owner cut the wires for some reason and I have always stored it in the winter so have never needed it.

· Front fog lights are aftermarket and do not work. Additionally the front splitter in which they sit, appears to be slightly misshapen. Another favor from the previous owner

· The car came without a rear view mirror. I purchased a rear view mirror from DC automotive and it is OEM but came off another 944. The metal "pins" that hold the mirror to the mounting piece are a little loose so it is a little wobbly when driving.

· Leather is coming off of steering wheel.
