1989 944S2 FS
 

1989 Porsche 944S2 For Sale. Baltic Blue Metallic exterior / Linen partial leather interior. 121,4xx 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. New-ish 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. There is some paint sandblasted behind the wheels, more so in the front. The dashboard gauge lights are 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 minor underbody surface rust, but, according to the techs at BodyMotion, it's nothing serious.

I'm selling this car to reduce my automotive assets, as well as the fact that I went to a more modern platform. The car drives really well, 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. I am suggesting a price of $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!

Can't say that I have seen that color before ~ very pretty :thumbup:

911Konigin, thanks for the comment...Porsche does have some pretty blues; this is a nice one. Thanks.

I live in Toms River NJ and have a totally stock 1991 white with navy blue interior 944S2 Coupe. I wouldn't hesitate to drive that car cross country either. My 1987 951 is a different story. I get nervous when I'm ten miles from home with that thing. Your car is really nice. I always liked the coupes better than the cabrios. To me the cabrios remind me of the 1980s yuppies.

Hi Kevin Anderson, thanks very much for the kind words. I was always a coupe kind of guy myself, although I must say I like the lines of the 944 and 968 cabs' roofs. If there's anytime you'd like to get together, please let me know! Jim

P.S. The white / blue interior combo is stunning.

Bump. I've had some renewed interest, as well as a looker today who will do a PPI. This car runs great and looks pretty good.

Sold.
