1989 Porsche 944 S2

Australian delivered to Hamiltons of South Yarra on 3 July 1989 (one of 128 Australian delivered S2 models)

Matching numbers car

Factory 3L M44/41 engine, 208hp, 155kw, 280nm

Stone Grey Metallic (LY7U paint code)

Black Porsche script seats

5 speed manual

Original 16in Design 90 wheels (recently refurbished) with Michelin Pilot Sport 3s with plenty of tread (plus one extra D90 wheel/tyre as a spare)

KM’s: 200,800km

Price: $38,000

 

Background:

Full service history from new with original Porsche log book, fully documented records and binder several cm’s thick with receipts. Extensive history over the years with Porsche specialists including DHM Auto Solutions, Buchanan Automotive and BWA Auto. I have a spreadsheet documenting the last 20 years of servicing and am happy to share with interested parties.

Approximately $70,000 spent on maintenance in the last 20 years

Two Porsche keys, original toolkit and air compressor, space-saver spare wheel, 968 CS steering wheel, new genuine Porsche floor mats

Always garaged and regularly washed. Gyeon quartz coating applied to paint

Extremely well maintained and very reliable

Very healthy engine with excellent compression – tested recently at 180, 178, 181, 180 psi

The connecting rod bearings have been replaced less than 45,000 km ago and the car has excellent oil pressure.

Serviced every 12 months or 10,000 km since new (all the way back to 1989).

Extensive preventative maintenance performed, much of it within the last 5,000 km. This includes ALL major work that are common problems on these cars. All fluids and consumables recently replaced. Nothing to spend. Just jump in and drive. Any inspections welcome.

Everything works on the car including common neglected points such as the clock, sunroof and the hatch release button.

Much of the suspension has been upgraded to the highly desirable 968 CS specification. This includes the larger 968 CS sway bars, larger 30mm solid torsion bars, Koni height adjustable dampers (Paragon kit) with Racer’s Edge camber plates, KLA strut brace, 968 front control arm rear mounts & bushes, rebuilt ball joints etc.

Original parts will come with the sale including the factory steering wheel, front and side amber indicators etc.

I have owned for the last 3 years and it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

This car has been my pride and joy and is a very reluctant listing. Only offering for sale due to a growing family. I will be back in another Porsche at some point in the future.

 

Notable maintenance in the last 5-10,000 km:

Oct 2019 – AC system overhaul

Oct 2019 – Gauge cluster refurbished (excellent night lighting now)

July 2019 – Rear hatch resealed

Feb 2019 – New clutch + CV joints + shifter + gear linkage

Jan 2019 – Refurbish steering shaft

Nov 2018 – Replace engine mounts (genuine Porsche)

July 2018 – New 968 control arm mounts

May 2018 – New intake and exhaust camshafts, timing chain + guides + cam position sensor, new front engine seals, rollers, water pump, thermostat, cam + balance shaft + power steering + alternator belts + all fuel lines + various hoses + air filter + fuel filter + brake booster

Mar 2018 – New DIN65 battery

June 2017 – New exhaust system

May 2017 – Clutch master + slave cylinders

Sep 2016 – New windscreen

Mar 2016 – New radiator

Note: The above is only a snapshot of some of the more significant recent maintenance items. My spreadsheet documents everything from bonnet shocks to power steering hoses, heater control valves to hatch pins, new dust boots to diff seals etc. This car has not been left short of ongoing and preventative maintenance and will serve its new owner well for many years to come.

Interested parties feel free to message me should you wish to obtain further details.

Located Brisbane southside

Regards,

Justin

A credit to you Justin, well looked after and impeccable presentation.

For anyone looking, don't let this one get away.  If you think a $30k S2 is better value, forget it, you'll spend another $10k quick enough and won't have half the car.

Can't believe the condition given 200,000kms...!  Fantastic.

I wish some cars i've seen would be nearly that good with half the kms!

I'm torn between the D90s and BBS 5 spokers.  Both look great on the car, perhaps the 5 spokers make it look a bit meaner???.  Whoever the lucky purchaser is will have a hard decision.......

GLWS.....😎

I appreciate the kind comments all. Hopefully my ad provides a reasonable indication of the work that has gone into the car. I just want it to go to a good home. :)

Vehicle is now SOLD.

Very sad to see the car go but it has gone to a good home.

Reflecting on the last few years, I have gained many happy memories, made some new friends and learnt a lot along the way. Big thanks to the many forum members who have shared their knowledge and time along the way (I'm sure you know who you are!). There is no better bunch of car enthusiasts than Porsche owners. I will be back in another Porsche one day! Cheers all :)
