A classic car with exceptional performance. In 1985, Car and Driver rated the Porsche 944 best handling car on the road. Over 25 years later, the 944 continues to provide drivers with an exceptional driving experience, whether it be on the track or street--and you'll see why.
Option codes: This Porsche car is a 1985/1 model year with the sports package, which meant better shocks, struts, and it has the optional limited slip differential as well.
Cosmetically, the car looks great but has normal wear and tear for a 1985. It is eyecatching, but you should expect some rock chips, scratches and cracking, and tiny rust spots in the finish on an antique car. And yes, it qualifies for antique plates in VA. It even has the original leather seats (with normal wear), which makes it a hit with Porsche purists at shows.
I ran a Carfax and found no surprises. Please note that the mileage indicates 28k miles because the odometers in these cars restart after 99k miles. With that said, the engines are phenomenally well built (look up Alusil cylinder bores) and I expect it to provide driving fun for a long time. Auction includes the CD stereo, which works but isn't currently hooked up. The handle is bent on the parking brake, which makes it sticky--they aren't expensive on the internet and I'd replace it if I kept it.
Mechanically, the engine and drivetrain are in great shape, and I'd drive this car across the country. Battery was replaced on 6/12 with an Autocraft Silver so it's still in warranty.
Clear title, no liens, ready for cash sale.
The car is much more satisfying to drive than any other car I've driven, but this is your chance to own a classic for a bargain price! Take a look at the pictures, and happy bidding!
0 feedback buyers must contact me prior to bidding. A $500 deposit due within 48 hrs of winning an auction, remainder when you pickup the car. I reserve the right to end this auction early for local sale.

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
Race Recap: 2013 Petit Le Mans draws curtain on the ALMS [spoilers]
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The 16th Petit Le Mans Powered By Mazda, in the final year of the American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón, was run on Saturday. Even though many of this year's championships had already been decided, the last ALMS race ever would be a 10-hour, 1,000-mile slog around Road Atlanta to get names in the record books and decide a few series trophies.
Since some of you will only get around to your TIVOs (or Fox Sports coverage) today, you should stop reading now if you don't want to know who did what...
Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
