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.

Xcar considers the Porsche 911 GT3's PDK
Fri, May 29 2015Porsche ruffled some feathers when it unveiled the latest 911 GT3 a couple of years ago with a dual-clutch transmission instead of an old-school manual. The rationale was (and remains) that the PDK makes the enthusiast's Elfen faster than it would be with a stick. The purists scoffed, but Zuffenhausen held firm – and even did the same with the even more hardcore GT3 RS. In its latest video, the boys at Xcar set out to find out if the GT3 with its fancy automated gearbox is as good as the previous model (or as good as the current model could be) with a manual – and took in some of the track toy's other trickery while they were at it. Check out the video above to find out what conclusion they reached.
Porsche 991 vs. 930 Flatnose in 911 Turbo convertible faceoff
Tue, 15 Jul 2014The Porsche 911 Turbo has a legacy of being a tough car to drive. With a ton of power set right over the rear wheels, its reputation is to lose control as soon as the driver stops concentrating. However, this isn't quite so true anymore. The modern ones are tamed through technology with things like hydraulically controlled engine mounts, not to mention all-wheel drive. In its latest video, Autocar tries to decide whether 25 years of progress really makes the turbo a better vehicle.
It's summer, so what better version to compare than the 911 Turbo Cabriolet? In one corner, Autocar has the latest and greatest 2014 version pumping out 513 horsepower and 486 pound-feet of torque with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Its challenger is a 1989 911 flatnose convertible sporting 326 hp and 347 lb-ft of torque. It's a truly rare car in the UK with only eight of them remaining on the roads in that region.
Granted, this test isn't so much a battle as it is a comparison. There's no question that the modern 911 would beat the classic in practically every objective category. What the video aims to find out is whether the flatnose is better in subjective measurements like its "feel." Scroll down to watch these two droptop Porsches square off.
Stock Miata beats bunch of high-powered cars in wet 1/4-mile drag race
Thu, 06 Jun 2013When is a stock, 167-horsepower Mazda MX-5 Miata quicker than a Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Gallardo, Lotus Elise and a Porsche 911? When it's raining. Sort of.
Mazda Canada arranged a unique drag race to show off the fact that the Miata's optional power retractable folding hardtop can go from top-down to top-up in just 12 seconds flat. In this video, all six cars line up for a drag race, and it starts to rain (well, sort of - but you'll have to watch the video all the way to the end to see what we mean). The green flag is waved, and the timer starts as soon as the convertibles begin to put their tops up. But because the Miata's roof mechanism gets the car's roof back up a full 5.1 seconds quicker than the second-place car, the Mazda gets a serious advantage off the line for the actual drag race.
It's a fun video. And while we've spoiled the results (come on, the video was uploaded by Mazda, you knew the Miata was going to win), be sure to see how it all unfolds, below.
