Porsche 944 (1990)
for sale

Price: US $200.00

Description:

Why are 1990 coupes so Valuable?
This particular s2 is number 363 of only 450 imported into N. America. The splendid balance, the power of the 3.0 engine, and the beefier transmission sent many to the racing circuits.
Solving an owner's Greatest Fear:
Sudden timing belt failures destroy engines, which often cost more than the car itself. Yet, this S2 is healthy and prepared for at least the next 40, 000 miles. A most complete timing belt service was performed about 600 miles ago. Included were the water pump, balance shafts, oil pump seals, toothed and major belts, camshaft (distributor) case, air vent hose and more (detailed invoice included).
Interior:
The condition of the off-white interior leather and carpet is amazing. The white carpets have always been protected with gray Porsche carpet mats, left and right, front and rear so the original carpets are nearly new looking. The white luggage compartment, protected through the years by a “roller-shade” cover is also fresh and new looking. The anti-theft Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo, 4-speaker radio has a 7-segment equalizer with CD player.
Exterior appearance:
Front end stone nicks were always filled regularly. The car has been garaged, kept clean, polished and waxed, always the source of wide-eyed compliments. Two areas of the car have beautiful clear coat finishes, having been repaired by a Cincinnati Porsche restoration company. The right door and rocker were deeply scarred by a boulder scrape, and the rear lower airflow wing and several other rear trunk panels had to be replaced (12/2004 detailed invoice included). The restoration experts produced perfect repairs with quality parts and invisible blends. Plus, there is no alignment problem. Car runs true.
Disclosure:
All gauges function normally, although the low-fuel warning light stays on regardless of fuel level. The digital clock / timer operates although the lower part of the face is fogged. CD disks tend not to play; they are ejected for some reason within a minute or so.
Picky-Picky stuff:
In some steering wheel positions the turn signal lever must be held in position or re-set. At times, while engine running, the ignition key must be nudged a bit to the left to engage the A/C and accessories.
The airbags may not function correctly or at all.
I'm third owner since 1996 at 65, 968 miles, and estimate the mileage to be about 143, 700. The odometer had a common 944 failure (plastic odometer gear) at approx. 139, 000 / 2011. When my golfing eye sight began to fail, the car was driven very little. Oil changes and tire wear-life will attest to very low mileage during the time span.
The 944 Secret:
Transport
skis
,
hobby material, lumber
,
8-foot long 2 x 4s and more, with the rear hatch completely and safely closed. Home Depot people stare in amazement when the hatch is closed over a few 8' 2x4s.
What else in New?:
The rear hatch release motor was replaced about two dozen operations ago. New gas struts in the hood, new pop-open gas struts in the rear hatch, “roller-shade” luggage cover re-tensioned, new glove box metal supports, all paint 3M polished and waxed, wheels balanced, complete timing belt adjustments follow-up.
