Early 1985 Porsche 944 Base Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars

FUN FUN FUN FUN car! This car is NOT fast...but shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear is probably my favorite driving experience. I've read that the 944 may be the best handling car ever made and that's probably stretching it a bit...but this car is FUN to drive for sure! This is an "Early 1985" Porsche 944. This car was purchased on Ebay 3 years ago from a seller in Arizona. After buying this from Arizona, I had it shipped to Washington to my house where it was subsequently taken to a Porsche dealership in Seattle. I had all the hoses and belts (not timing belt) replaced, and the car was checked from bumper to bumper. I spend $2k on miscellaneous repairs and belt/hose replacements. The interior is in very good condition. The seats are also in very good condition, although I added premium sheep-skin covers to protect them (the $200 a piece kind of covers, OMG you'll love them). I also spent almost $2k installing a new radio and custom pods/door speakers. I added a premium leather steering wrap and a bra. It also has professionally tinted windows ($500 job). Shortly after purchase, I shipped the car to a family member's house in sunny California to keep it in a warm, rust-free garage. It has 96,204 original miles as of the time this was written. It runs good and it was driven from Sacramento to Los Angeles recently without any problems whatsoever. It gets about 26 mpg on the highway. The car has power everything (windows, side mirrors, moonroof, pop up headlights) which is kind of ahead of its time for 1985. The body is in very good condition with a few small chips in the hood, and a few very minor door dings. The windshield has a small chip on the driver's side. The chip is a bit annoying and you may want to replace the windshield...or you may look past it and not have a problem with it. As with a car this age, there are a few minor issues: * The A/C needs recharging. The fan/blower works fine. Heater works fine. Windshield wipers work fine. Lights/headlights work fine. Clutch is smooth and it shifts smoothly. * The passenger window has a new motor/wiring by the Porsche dealership, but the window rocker switch on the driver's door broke and it will not roll down presently. * The dash has some minor cracks, but it is in amazingly good condition for its age. * The tires show some aging on the sidewalls, but the tread is good and appears to have well over half their tread left. * Although the car is currently in CA in the 95661 zip, the car is not registered in CA, nor has it ever been smogged in CA. If the car is sold to a CA buyer, the buyer understands that the car may not currently meet CA smog requirements, even though it is in stock condition. The car currently has Law Enforcement Memorial plates and is tagged in WA. Plates will be removed after sale. I see that a lot of people use 944s for club racing so...maybe this is how she'll finally end up? Note that the 2nd owner only had the car less than a year. According to him, the car was owned by a female real estate agent who loved the car (that much is obvious) and he bought it in an estate sale. So this is basically a 2-owner car. Also note that the car DID pass smog in Arizona 4 times (but because WA doesn't require a smog certificate for a car this old there was no reason to smog it). Will it pass CA smog? No idea. Let's assume that it won't so if you plan on registering this is California BUYER BEWARE. I assume NO liability regarding its smog-ability in CA or any other state. Buyer must pick up or have carrier pick up car in the 95661 zip code. Buyer pays ALL shipping costs and seller assumes no responsibility after carrier takes possession. There are many carriers to choose from and I was extremely satisfied with the transport process when this car was shipped to me. After the sale, we can exchange phone numbers and make arrangements. Please expect to make full payment within 3 days of end of sale. I would prefer a personal check to save some PayPal fees (look at my feedback and be assured you'll get the car after the check clears) OR we can add the PayPal fees to the final bid...whatever that ends up being. You will then choose a transport carrier and pay them directly. If you have zero feedback or some negative feedback, please do NOT bid on this car. Thanks for respecting that. This car wasn't meant to be stored in a garage. Buy it, enjoy it, and turn heads driving down the road! It's amazing how many people have given me the thumbs up and I was just minding my own business. 944s are cool, plain and simple and this car handles like a DREAM. |

Porsche's 959 is still poster-worthy after all these years
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Today, we have the Porsche 918 Spyder. Before that, there was the Carrera GT. While both of those cars are dramatic departures from the traditional, rear-engine Porsche formula, they owe their very existence to another wild child of the iconic German brand - the 959.
Like so many of the great performance cars of yesteryear, the 959 was a homologation special, built just so Porsche could go racing in the clinically insane Group B rally series. Fewer than 400 959s hit the streets, but those that did were some of the most advanced cars of the 1980s. A rear-mounted, twin-turbocharged flat-six sent its power through a still-rare all-wheel-drive system, creating a race-inspired rocket that was, for a short time, the fastest production car on the planet.
Xcar has the story of the 959, from its inception to its conquest of the Paris-Dakar rally, which is interspersed with a drive of the legendary coupe. Scroll down for the full video.
Porsche stalls on Ferrari 458 rival
Mon, 17 Nov 2014A few years ago, reports surfaced that Porsche was planning a new supercar. But the latest intel suggests that the plan has been put indefinitely on the back burner.
The project alternately referred to as 960 or 988 was put forth by CEO Matthias Müller shortly after he assumed control of the German automaker. It called for a mid-engined V8 supercar to slot in between the 911 and the 918 Spyder to take on the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia, McLaren 650S and sister-company Lamborghini's Gallardo and subsequent Huracán.
Now three years since the idea was first mooted, the vehicle has yet to materialize. According to Autocar, Porsche is putting a greater emphasis on refreshing its existing lineup. Which is probably just as well, because the mid-engined supercar would have a heck of a challenge on its hands to differentiate itself in terms of performance from the 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo, which already give the 458 and company a run for their money.
2012 TechArt Porsche 911 is visually dazzling, both inside and out
Wed, 07 Mar 2012One way to ensure that your brand-new Porsche 911 (a.k.a. 991) won't look like the one in your neighbor's driveway is to give TechArt a call. The famed German tuner has rolled out its version of the latest Carrera and Carrera S at the Geneva Motor Show and trust us, it won't be mistaken for anything from the factory in Stuttgart.
Up front, TechArt has fitted its own unique two-part spoiler with integrated splitter while more aggressive side skirts adorn the rocker panels. The rear has a new lower diffuser, wrapped around the TechArt exhaust, and a large fixed rear wing (complete with an integrated third brake light). Look more closely to notice the subtle trim panels on the exterior mirrors and front headlights. The wheels are lightweight forged 20- and 21-inch alloys with matching paint on their rims.
Inside the heavily modified cabin are even more drastic enhancements (let's say TechArt has gone over the top). Don't let the aluminum pedals be a distraction as you inspect the black Alcantara and high-grade leather covering nearly every square inch. Flirting with gaudy, the dark upholstery is contrasted by vehicle-color-coordinated stitching and painted trim splashed throughout. However, the icing on the cake is an insanely thick TechArt three-spoke sports steering wheel.
