Previous post days 110 in 1986 and none in 1987. Curious about numbers of the 250 hp versions in1989-1990RaiRob is the guru... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 5March, 2017 Report Share Posted 5March, 2017 Let the frenzy begin......https://carsales.mobi/cars/details/Porsche-944-1989/SSE-AD-459719 Price drop already $49,990 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plugger2 Posted 5March, 2017 Report Share Posted 5March, 2017 Price drop already $49,990Not very "firm"! Mind you, it must be a bit galling to have another Turbo S advertised within minutes for $14K less than your "firm" price... What are the odds? sandy468 and TINGY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 5March, 2017 Report Share Posted 5March, 2017 To me they are different cars, one looks to be very original with a good service history and the other is not totally original from the photos and the comments of the seller.It also seems the price reflects this on both cars, and maybe he has had some offers on the grey car and that's why he has dropped the price.

Jason E Posted 5March, 2017 Report Share Posted 5March, 2017 Plugger, my S2 has the split rear seats & is definitely Aus delivered. I wonder if it was just an option you could order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plugger2 Posted 6March, 2017 Report Share Posted 6March, 2017 Plugger, my S2 has the split rear seats & is definitely Aus delivered. I wonder if it was just an option you could order?You could always check your option codes to see if there is anything corresponding there -- but I've never seen an option code for that. My understanding is that it is just one of the configurations decided upon for various markets (like the side markers and bumpers on US cars). The main thing about the single versus split folding seat arrangement is that you can't fit the "blind" on the split seat option. Perhaps the hatch blind was thought more appropriate for Oz conditions because it's sunnier here? In any case, I've only ever seen the split seats on UK 944s before. Just like Oz delivered S2 cabriolets always have the rear seat delete configuration, unlike the UK imports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugger2 Posted 6March, 2017 Report Share Posted 6March, 2017 Love the last line ....."Will consider selling for this price" ..... That trumps "price is firm". Love the chutzpah! Will *consider* offers starting at $38K...Car looks pretty clean, you have to admit. I like the new coolant tank under the bonnet - nice and white. Mine's long been yellowed. I've been looking for a reason to replace it, just so I can get that nicer engine bay presentation, but then I go and have a Bex and a lie down.BTW, what do people think about the original D90 wheels? I was never a fan, but I've sort of been warming to them a bit more recently... Dreamr, FAP911 and micknine01 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plugger2 Posted 6March, 2017 Report Share Posted 6March, 2017 Plus let me know if you are going to replace your coolant tank as I need to do mine as well & we might get a better deal ordering two.When you say "need to" do you mean it is leaking or otherwise dysfunctional, or do you mean it is old and yellowed and less than 100% lovely?(If the latter, I will order an additional packet of Bex so we can go halves on shipping.)
