I purchased this car in Dec last year for my wife. She passed away in January never getting to drive the car. I have driven it from Arkansas (where I bought it) to Stuart, Florida and to Sarasota, Florida where it resides now. I drive it daily around town to work and back. It is a great car and very nimble. The reason I purchased the car was due to the fact that it was doctor owned and had been for some 6 years. He had had the engine rebuilt in 2011 and basically replaced almost everything including Porsche motor mounts and then only put another 3000 miles on it. It was still breaking in when I drove it down to FLA. Not being a mechanic I wanted to make sure the car was going to be reliable. Because everything that seems to be a problem with the 1987 Porsche 944 S had been replaced or repaired it was a no brainer. Even the AC compressor is new with the new type of 134A refrigerant oil. The transmission works great and was not worked on. the shocks and struts are about 4 years old. I was impressed how smooth it drove on the highway. The tires look great and have lots of tread. The car drives great and was a pleasure to drive down from Arkansas to Florida. It had a sweet spot at 92 mph. The car starts right up every time when cold. It goes right to 900 RPM and the oil pressure starts off at 5 dropping gradually. I have included picks of the dash at cold startup and then when warm. The car had 151, 100 miles when I picked it up and had the engine rebuilt at 148000 miles. The odometer stopped working about 800 miles into the trip at 151, 935 where it reads now. When you push the trip reset button it moves but doesn't catch. I haven't gotten under there yet to look to see if something came loose but I will. The inside looks very nice. There is one crack at the top of the dash up and behind the steering wheel. It is hard to see unless you look down through the windshield. There are little cracks at the defroster vents but again not easy to see unless you are looking for them. Everything works well including the interior cabin light. The seller had nice seat covers on the front seats and I have left them. There is fraying on the driver side seat where you hit it when you get in but it would be very easy to sew it up. The seats are the cloth which say Porsche Porsche Porsche on the diagonal. The driver's seat has electric controls on the left side for height and other adjustments. The rear seats are in good shape. The dash and center console are in good shape. The doors are in good shape. Both windows work well up and down. The right mirror does not work with the switch but the left one does. Headlights pop up nicely and work as designed. The paint looks to original and has been waxed and buffed. It is not flawless but overall great for a 26 year old car. There are some dings and scratches that would come out pretty easily. The sun roof can be raised in the back electronically or taken completely out. It does not slide back into the roof like many other cars. There is a crack in the front windshield but I have a new windshield to replace it. The catalytic converter has gone and rattles but I have a new Cat. converter to replace it. I have other odds and ends as well that will go with the car. If you are interested contact me so I can call you and go over everything with you.
