Agreed......but it has a leather gear knob Tingy!!! Seriously, it looks pretty clean under the hood, interior could do with a good going over, service history for when it was driven would be interesting. It's a manual and I would think worth a closer look for anyone chasing one. I was a bit confused to read it's been in the shed for 22 years but rego due to expire in Oct 2018 , could be some grey areas. It's 26 years old, so that means only driven for 4 years, 162000 k's, so that's 40000 k's per year...…...would be an interesting discussion with the owner to assure everything is above board.

What's happening? Maybe finally getting some good quality vehicles coming on the market / little spring cleaning. Not saying they are all quality, but some are definitely good quality stock, if you were in the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is the junk, we can expect a very tight market over summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a bit of the cars story - owner buys car . Drives it home parks it in shed. Then never drives it again . but keeps it registered ? as @TINGY944 and Baden Powell quipped ... be prepared Clean car , but needs major Service and then likely lots of replacement stuff.

A correctly sized battery and trickle charger will sort that issue out This came up on my phone last Sunday listed at $19.5k, now not available, did need some work: https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-944-1990/SSE-AD-5699508/?utm_campaign=search-alert&utm_source=notification-centre&utm_medium=email IMO, well sorted coupes will be $30 - $40k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could snag one in the $20s but it would probably require a bit to bring back to scratch. IMHO maintenance is a key price factor for these cars. Big jobs like the clutch, belts, rollers, water pump, cam chain and guides are not cheap so the asking price should reflect. The starters on these cars are very small so the slow long cranks are pretty normal. I liken it to waking the beast. Cough..cough..cough..grrr! Modern fast crank cars are boring by comparison.

I agree, even with a fully charged battery they still crank a little slow, it's not until the car is up to full operating temp that they crank quicker. https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-944-1990/SSE-AD-5692681/?Cr=15 So what is the sell stopper on this car, Klms?

Jason E Posted 25October, 2018 Report Share Posted 25October, 2018 I went & had a look at this when I was on the hunt for a car around this time 2 years ago. The interior has had LOTS of sikaflex used to hold things together. I mentioned this to Clive & he said, "Who cares about the interior it's the motor you're here for". He then went on to say, "If you're going to be picky about things we'll be here all day". I said, "Ok well lets kick her over & go for a drive". Clive said, "Oh it's not running at the moment". I said, "Oh Great. So the interior is a bit rough, the exterior is a bit rough & the engine doesn't run. How much did you say you wanted?"........& that's how the fight started............ Just kidding. He did get a bit miffed & said something like, "The car is worth double what I'm asking". I remember thinking something like the car will cost double what you're asking to put right. I'm pretty sure Brian from Buddina also had a look at it. He may remember better than me it's condition. I recall no books & pretty sketchy details from old Clive on it's history. From memory Clive struck me as a bit of a maintenance/ schmaitenance - service schedule/ service schmedule kinda guy. I could be wrong as I spoke to lots of owners back then. All I know is I didn't buy Clive's car & it was only an hours drive away. Instead I purchased in Sydney from an equally "She'll be right!!" owner named Zorba. Thanks Zorba - die in a fire!! 24 minutes ago, 901er said: From 2015.. he really put some effort in To be fair he is about two hundred and sixteen years old and is pretty "Old Skool", so I think photo representation isn't on the top of his priority list. micknine01, brian in buddina, Troubleshooter and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian in buddina Posted 25October, 2018 Report Share Posted 25October, 2018 thats pretty much how I remember it. the car is running as I've bumped into Clive a couple of times, figuratively speaking. Jason E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stepo Posted 26October, 2018 Report Share Posted 26October, 2018 I remember calling and talking to the owner second last time it was advertised I think. When I made contact, I was surprised to hear the car was no longer for sale, he was keeping it, but still advertised on carsales…….why wouldn't you remove it! Sounds like a dodged a bullet.....happy I ended up with my S2 Not a bad looking turbo in WA, not as good as yours @TINGY944 but obviously priced cheaper due to higher k's, cloth seats and typical cracked dash https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-944-1988/SSE-AD-5710135/?Cr=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
