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.

Editors' Choice: Top Five 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show Debuts
Thu, Sep 17 2015Consider the 2015-16 auto show season officially kicked off. The Frankfurt Motor Show offered a great look at the newest crop of production cars and conceptual machines, and brought some old favorites back into the spotlight for a closer look. (The Alfa Romeo Giulia, for example, debuted in June, but this was the first time most of us saw it.) Now that the dust has settled and we're all on flights back to the US, our editors cast their votes for their personal favorites from the Frankfurt show. These are the cars we truly loved seeing the most. But unlike other shows, there was no one runaway winner – all of the Top Five received positive praise from our team. We won't spoil the results, though. Scroll down to see what we liked most from this year's Frankfurt expo. 5th Place – MERCEDES-BENZ IAA CONCEPT View 12 Photos MIKE AUSTIN: The clean lines on this concept have me excited for a more elegant beauty to future Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Next to the Concept IAA, the lovely S-Class Coupe looks like an overstyled barge. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Yeah, the extendable rear is neat and all, but I'm more interested in the front-end styling of this one. It looks like the Tron version of a 300SL, in a good way. I'm hopeful it portends the future of Mercedes design. STEVEN EWING: I was super impressed when Mercedes said that, with the rear end extended, this concept has a drag coefficient of just 0.19. That's crazy aerodynamic. I'm not head-over-heels about the styling, but I think the lessons learned from this concept are really important, and will play a huge role in the future of Mercedes' products. 4th Place – ALFA ROMEO GIULIA View 15 Photos SEYTH MIERSMA: I can hardly express how in love with this car I am. The styling feels creative, modern, and evocative, without going over the top. The proposed performance is spectacular. And the Alfa badge speaks to a legacy of romantic motoring. DAVID GLUCKMAN: Pretty Italian car makes big promises and will probably deliver on about three quarters of them. I think that will still be enough for me. JEREMY KORZENIEWSKI: I'm really intrigued by the Giulia. It looks great, sounds awesome, and I'm expecting it to have a load more character than its German rivals. I hope I'm not disappointed. 3rd Place – JAGUAR F-PACE View 15 Photos GREG MIGLIORE: It's the first SUV for Jaguar, and I think they nailed the design, capability, and electronics. It's the right car at the right time.
Porsche recalling 24,500 Panameras for a potential HVAC coolant pump issue
Tue, Feb 14 2023A possible coolant pump problem for the HVAC system is causing Porsche to recall 24,467 units of the Panamera from the 2017 to 2020 model years. Bentley's recalling 650 examples of the sibling 2020 Continental GT for the same issue. Porsche was notified of a malfunction in the external heat pump for the Panamera's climate control in December 2022. An automaker investigation found that it's possible for excess humidity or even liquid to get past the pump seals and short out the pump's circuit board and connector. In rare instances, the malfunction could cause a fire. This can happen even when the engine is turned off because the cars in question are equipped with a residual heat function that keeps warming the cabin after shutdown. Panameras built after July 26, 2021 were fitted with a different pump. The Stuttgart carmaker's field analysis showed "a very small number of instances of thermal damage possibly attributable to this issue." Bentley changed the part in July 2019 to a model with a pressure compensation seal. Porsche said it will begin notifying owners on March 27. It also said it will reimburse any Panamera owners who have paid to have the part fixed previous to this recall. The fix is a trip to the dealer for a new pump with better sealing, sourced from a new supplier. Bentley will begin notifying owners on the same day. In Bentley's case, though, the automaker says "A hardware change will be required but the final solution is currently under investigation and cannot be confirmed at this time." Since the automaker moved to a new pump that isn't part of the recall population, we aren't sure why a resolution remains under investigation. Porsche owners can contact Porsche customer service at 800-767-7243 and refer to internal recall number APA1. Bentley owners can call 800-777-6923 and refer to RE23/02 (RC67). Anyone in that group can go straight to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or nhtsa.gov, citing campaign number 23V033 for the Panamera or 23V034 for the Bentley.
