1984 Porsche 944 No Reserve on 2040-cars
Year:1984
Mileage:120000
Location:
Greeley, Colorado, United States
|
For sale is my 1984 944. I'm moving in two weeks and need it gone. Any REASONABLE offer will be considered. It is drivable in it's current condition, but there are a couple of issues too.
It ran great, that is until the first person who test drove it beat the bejesus out of the clutch. Now it still drives, however when I exceed about 3500/4000 RPM, the clutch will occasionally slip. The other mechanical issue is the power steering which, when the vehicle is still cold, is sometimes noisy and annoying. There are over $2000 in parts alone that I've put in during the past 2 years, including the important and expensive timing belt service (only 1,000 miles ago). Also within the past 1500 miles I have replaced the rear shocks, oil, coolant, transmission gear oil, all spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, fuel and oil filter, some old faulty relays, upper speed reference sensor, clutch master cylinder (replaced 100 miles ago), and I'm sure there are more that I'm forgetting at the moment. I have the receipts for nearly everything that I've put into it during the past 4 years that I've owned it, and some extra parts and stuff that I've collected while owning 944's. Some of the freebies you'd get include a Haynes manual, new front struts, extra updated power steering line, fuel filter, fuel line between tank and filter, two extra front brake calipers, extra fuses and relays, transmission fluid plugs and a new set of floor mats. This particular porsche has been taken well care of mechanically while it was my daily driver, but as I'm just a student, I haven't been able to replace EVERYTHING that needs replacing. As I mentioned, the clutch just started to slip, the power steering pump is noisy, the rear hatch locks need to be adjusted to operate the automatic hatch release appropriately, there is a different key for both the front door locks, and depending on the weather the passenger window sometimes doesn't want to work (maybe corrosion inside one of the window switches..?). I also have the original Blaupunkt radio in a box that you can have, but it isn't currently installed as I live in an area where I don't feel comfortable leaving it installed without driving the car on a regular basis. I'm not willing to ship it, as I have WAY too much on my plate as it is at the moment, however if you want to make those arrangements, that would be fine. This car is also being listed locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction any time if it sells. On Apr-25-14 at 20:20:15 PDT, seller added the following information: *UPDATE* Since creating this listing, I have driven the car to try and see if there is anything that I was missing on the listing. And I found that even when I tried, I could NOT get the clutch to slip on me anymore. I don't know if it was just driven too hard by the last test driver and got hot, or what the deal is, but as of right now, the clutch IS NOT slipping in any gear through any range of RPMs. I'm not going to relist the car to try and get more money, but it is a hopeful sign that the car is in better condition than I thought. Good news for whoever buys this thing! For sale is my 1984 944. I'm moving in two weeks and need it gone. Any REASONABLE offer will be considered.

Top Gear brings together LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918
Mon, Jan 26 2015Earlier this month, Top Gear released a brief video of the comparison test between three hybrid hypercars we'd all been waiting for: the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. The story was done by the print magazine and not by the television show, and the video they released was barely over half a minute long, reserving the full version for subscribers of the iPad edition. Now the British mag has put the full video on YouTube, and while it's still only a minute and a half long – three times the length of the previous teaser – it's packed with electrified exotic goodness. The test surely took some serious wrangling to put together, and though the metal (or carbon fiber, as the case may be) was apparently furnished mostly by private owners, to hear Top Gear tell it, the manufacturers – Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche – were eager and helpful in putting the showdown together. For the final conclusions, we're afraid you'll still have to buy the magazine, but for a rare chance to watch all these three world-beaters on the same road at the same time, you'll want to scope out this latest video clip.

Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
