Everything Wrong with the 944

::cck::829

Last summer, a 1987 Porsche 944 came under my care. Now, 1980s Porsches are solidly built; you can hear the sturdiness in the way the door clunks shut. But it’s still nearly 30 years old, so just a few things on it need of maintenance. Just a few. Here is everything that needs fixing on the 1987 Porsche 944.

  • Odometer is stuck at a pretty low mile for model year 91k
  • Gear linkage is wonky and needs replacement
  • A rubber bumper on the front needs to be remounted to be flush with the bumper
  • Electronically sunroof won’t open
  • May or may not be oil leaking from somewhere
  • Driver door window rattles alarmingly when the door is shut
  • Passenger door hinge creaks when open or closed
  • A faded paint spot on the roof needs to be fixed
  • Rear hatch release doesn’t function
  • Rear wiper flails wildly, if at all
  • Power adjustable mirrors won’t operate, just droop lower and lower
  • Front badge is loose and might fall off
  • Headlights blind oncoming traffic, need adjustment
  • Late 90s updated radio needs to be updated again
  • Rear view mirror is ready to fall off
  • Tires are nearly bald, need replacing
  • Wheels and steering need alignment

Plus all the other routine maintenance that needs to be checked and done at some point: belts, water pump, clutch, fluids, air filter, etc. None of this stuff is what you would call pressing mechanical issues, but it would be nice to see them fixed. Some people may say that all these issues outweigh the value of owning the car, and they’re probably right. But where is the fun in that?

Red/Black, 66K. In great shape inside and out. Just completed a full major service this month ($5,900). All belts changed, all fluids flushed and replaced, new filters, new Italian water pump ($800), Hill Tensioners, new fuel accumulator. Car starts on the first try whether cold or warm, and drives great.

Since I purchased the car in October 2012 (62K) I have put $26K into it (before this major). ). The previous owner had a major performed at 58K in 2009, and the clutch replaced in 2010. Interior is in great condition, no tears, no blisters on the dash. Car came to me with a Schumacher battery tender, which works great. Car will come with one book, a complete tool kit, and a good spare tire. A number of spare parts, a good radio, car cover, four good tires, NO electrical problems, door locks work correctly.

In 2014 the following was done:

• New black carpets and new mats installed.
• New K40 system front and rear installed.
• All window trim painted black, and major front paint chips fixed.
• Car was detailed by Magic Detailing, and looks great.
• Suspension bushing replaced.
• New brake pads, and brake hoses installed, rotors turned.
• New CV boots, and clamps installed.
• A/C recharged. New A/C relay. A/C compressor is a rotary type.
• New extenders, spark plugs, wire harness, distributor caps, and rotors installed.

I am the fourth owner. Have complete records from my ownership, and the owner prior to me, but none from the first or second owner. This car was bought new in California and has always been a California car. No rust. Have Car FAX from 1991 to 2009, which show service record and no accidents reported.

Asking $47K for the car, which is basically $6K for the major, $41K for the car, and a car which you can get in, drive, and not worry about. Will consider reasonable offers.
