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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Porsche adds third 919 Hybrid for Le Mans, Audi to heat factory with geothermal
Wed, Nov 26 2014Porsche will be running a third 919 Hybrid LMP1 car in the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race. The extra Porsche will race in the six-hour May 2 WEC race at Spa-Francorchamps as a lead-up to the legendary 24-hour race on June 13 and 14. Porsche hasn't announced the driver lineup for the third 919 Hybrid, but drivers will remain the same for the other two cars. Including the third car is meant to help further test performance and efficiency as part of development for future hybrid systems. Read more at Green Car Congress. BMW i Ventures is investing in Zendrive, a driving focused data and analytics company. The cooperation of the two companies is meant to help advance safety and efficiency by making the "in-car mobility experience even smoother by optimizing commuting and driving patterns," according to BMW i's Ulrich Quay. The venture capital arm of BMW's i brand also invests in JustPark, Chargepoint, Life360, Chargemaster and MyCityWay, and says it will have more strategic investment announcements in the coming months. Read more in the press release below. The Audi Hungaria factory in Gyor, Hungary will soon be getting geothermal energy from a nearby plant being constructed in Per. When the facility is finished, Audi expects to source 82,000 megawatt hours of geothermal energy per year from it, or about six percent of its total heating needs. The clean energy helps Audi move "step by step along a path to developing a CO2-neutral production plant," says Audi's Dr. Hubert Waltl. "The mobility of the future must be CO2-neutral – and that applies not only to the use of our vehicles, but also to their production." Read more in the press release below. Supporters have begun a petition drive for the passage of an E15 ordinance in Chicago. Despite pushback from oil companies, the city council is close to passing the "Chicago Clean Air Choice Ordinance," which includes the requirement by retailers to sell the 15-percent ethanol gasoline blend in the city. The ordinance includes an exception for stations selling less than 850,000 gallons of fuel per year. More than 4,000 people have signed the petition so far, with others leaving messages to voice their opinion on the matter in opposition to Big Oil's attempt to block it. Read more at Domestic Fuel.

Evo sets up duel of Porsche 911s
Thu, 20 Mar 2014What's better, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? That question has occupied auto enthusiasts for years, and so far, we've not really had a solid answer one way or the other. Evo has opted to take another whack at this tough question by pairing a pair of Porsche 911s against each other for a track battle.
In one corner, we have the two-wheel-drive 911 Carrera S, complete with the lickity-split PDK transmission, a sports suspension and carbon-ceramic brakes. In the other corner, it's the all-wheel-drive 911 Carrera 4S in a much mellower spec, with a seven-speed manual, as well as standard brakes and suspension. While the results seem like they'd be a foregone conclusion, some very British weather is there to act as the great equalizer.
We've got the full video down below. Have a look, and let us know if you agree with Evo's results.
2024 Porsche Panamera; Rivian's surprise; Cadillac electrifies V | Autoblog Podcast #823
Fri, Mar 15 2024In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd. They start off discussing a couple of vehicles they've both driven — the 2024 Ford Maverick Tremor and the 2024 Volvo C40 Recharge 2WD. From there, they pivot to Byron's first drive of the 2024 Porsche Panamera, and then from there it's on to more electrified luxury in the form of the new Cadillac Lyriq. After that, it's on to news. Rivian made a big splash last week. Not to be upstaged, Cadillac decided to get in on the action by teasing an electric V model, the Opulent Velocity Concept. After that, it's time for a future classic; this week, it's the Dodge Magnum. They end the episode by spending listener Isaiah's money on some used stick-shift transportation. Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.
