I'm the third owner of the classic Porsche -- one of the best handling cars ever made. Selling for two reasons -- 1. I recently got into Stand Up Paddleboarding and while I can tow my board behind my bike, I want to take it to some other spots and need a roof rack to do that. 2. Am planning on a family soon and it's not really going to be awesome to put a baby seat in the back... I bought the car with only about 47k miles on it!! How is this possible? 1. The first owner had a stable of cars and this was not his most favorite to drive so he eventually sold it to the second owner who was 2. A police officer in Los Gatos who was one of the officers who has horses for parades etc. He lived on a ranch in Los Gatos and did most of his driving with his pickup to tow the horses, and he also had a classic Jeep, so he only took the Porsche out on weekends. He sold it to me because his wife had a baby and wanted another car besides the huge diesel pickup and the non-kidsafe Jeep. 3. I work from home / bike to work most days so even though I live in LA, it's been garage kept and not driven too much. So now it's got 73k miles -- here is the work that's gone into it: (I have saved all the repair & oil change documents) -- I have taken excellent care of this beauty! New timing belt -- & I have the timing belt/chain checked every other oil change. It will be due for a new timing belt/change within the next 2 years. New Clutch put in at 63k miles ( I learned how to drive stick in this car so yea, I wore out the clutch a little early... your bonus!) New shocks, struts and brake rotors done at 58k miles Oil cooler seals repaired at 68k miles Air conditioning recharged at 68k miles And I put in a killer soundsystem -- 10x7" Focal speakers in the back and 4x6" Blaupunkt speakers in the doors - the back speakers are powered by an amp and the deck I just upgraded to a Kenwood Excelan which features hands free Bluetooth calls, but also you can stream audio via bluetooth (or plug it in and charge the phone, or play from USB drive). Ok so what's wrong with the car- it is 30 years old after all! 1. The sun roof does NOT leak at all, however cosmetically some of the seal is starting to show 2. The leather wrap on the steering wheel needs to be restitched -- it's not falling off, but some of the stitching is coming out. 3. The left latch lever on the sun roof locks in, but the lever itself is broken off- so if you unlatch the sunroof you'll need to be mindful not to loose it (or you can glue it back in place) -- I just rarely take the roof off. 4. This is the thorniest one -- There was an inaccurate reporting to Carfax way back in the 80's. The car goes from 10k miles all of a sudden to over 100k miles then back down to 20k miles. You may know that the odometer on the 944 does not go over 99,999 miles -- but to put that many miles on a car in that short of a time is not really possible. You'd have to drive across country every month. When I purchased the car, I had a mechanic of my choosing (and not in the same town as the Cop I purchased the car from!) go over everything and his judgement was there was no way the car was 148k miles --- and the odometer is accurate at 48k miles. When you look at the interior of the car -- you'll agree this is a car with 73k miles on it, not 173k. I may contact CARFAX and try to correct the issue if it becomes a blocker.
