My 1986 Porsche 944, This car will forever hold a place in my heart as the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. When the summer came and the DC traffic was at a standstill, this car never overheated or sputtered. When the -10 degree winters came, my Subaru occassionally wouldn't start but my Porsche fired up first try. These cars are remarkable and only recognized by true Porsche enthusiasts. Onto the car: *This will likely never be a showroom car. The leather is fading in places and the molding is getting loose but as is, this will be a great daily driver that is fun to drive and near bulletproof hopefully lasting its next owner many years to come. THE GOOD:-Strong daily runner, the car can be driven daily or just once or twice a month and you will never notice a difference in its performance or start up.-Very reasonable leakage, most 944 owners are aware that these cars leak oil. I have always monitored this and never noticed any significant loss of oil plus the oil has been changed pretty regularly.-Power windows and power driver seat work.-The tires have worn very evenly and all have about the same amount of tread on them. I do not know how much life is left on them but these were 60,000 mile Tires placed on them about 30,000 miles ago. The brakes are fine and the car's alignment seems normal. -The engine is very clean considering its age. No loose wires or hanging parts.-Pop up headlights work great and function normally. THE BAD:-The odometer is stuck. This may turn you off but I have used this car about five days a week and have changed the oil 3 times since it stopped in late 2011 at 135,000. An honest estimate would be about 150,000 miles currently on this car.-The AC and heater both 'run' but neither produce anything but air. I do not know how much it would be to fix these options.-There is power to the existing Blaupunkt stereo but the scanner no longer changes channels so only static is heard on the speakers.-There are two dents in the car (pictured below) someone backed into the left fairing and someone hit the rear.-I sealed the sunroof because it was not functioning when I bought it and there was some leakage. THE EXPECTED:-The gas shocks do not work in the trunk or the hood, you will need to manually prop them up.-The lever that pops the hood was broken when I bought it you now have to use pliers to pull the cord and open the hood.-The leather seats are incredibly durable and comfortable but both are torn in the lower seat (pictured below).-The power steering is tight. I have added the appropriate oil but it is starting to leak slowly. It still operates fine but its just a little tight.-As mentioned above, this car is over 25yo and is starting to show some wear in the paint and the interior. I probably talked a lot of people out of this car already, but for those of you who know the model and know the quality of its craftsmanship you are aware of how well made these cars are despite their flaws. I wanted to be completely honest about this car because I don't want a buyer to be dissapointed. **Please realize that this is a daily driver that has been treated well and loved since 2007. Bonus-I have most if not all of the 'broken' or fallen interior pieces. They will be included if the next owner wants to try to reattach.-I have some Porsche memorabilia (a likely collectible OEM filter and gasket), original key and key chain, wheel locks, and fuses and bulbs to be included.-I have been using Valvoline oil since I bought the car and use ATF DEXRON for the power steering fluid.-I will be happy to help the new owner with shipping services and might be able to help arrange local pick up. Good luck and feel free to contact me with questions. Thanks. t
