This is a NO RESERVE listing.
This is my 1988 Porsche 944 Special Edition coupe with only 100,588 miles.
This is one of the best-condition, low-mileage Porsche 944 models you will find for sale anywhere in the country.
The Special Edition is very rare, only 500 of these cars were brought to the US total, and only 250 in this unique Zermatt Silver color.
The timing belt, rollers and water pump were replaced on this car 7000 miles ago. This is CRITICAL maintenance on a 944- do not buy a 944 that you do not know the last timing belt replacement, or figure to spend $1200 on this service immediately upon purchase. If the timing belt breaks, the engine is destroyed.
This car has the following equipment and options:
- 2.5L all-aluminum engine
- 5-speed manual transmission
- leather bucket seats
- automatic heating/climate control with A/C (retrofitted to R134a and working properly)
- huge tilting and removable sunroof with storage sack
- power steering and brakes
- power locks and windows
- heated power mirrors
- staggered Phone Dial alloy wheels
- integrated front foglights
- Special Edition package
I have the books and manuals for this car, as well as the original window sticker. The base price of the car was $29,100 plus options of Zermatt Silver Metallic ($645) and the rare Special Edition Package ($2437) with a total as-delivered price of $33,100.
This Porsche runs and drives very well. I just took the car on a 400-mile weekend trip and it performed beautifully. The air conditioning has been retrofitted to R134a and it blows cold. The engine is smooth and powerful, the transmission shifts perfectly, the clutch is tight, the suspension is very tight and stable, the brakes are good and the car drives wonderfully. This is a totally reliable and dependable car that I would drive across the country with no hesitation.
The interior of the car is in good shape. The leather seats are newer to the car look good. The plaid Special Edition upholstery is in good shape and looks nice. The carpets are clean and in great condition. This interior is in very nice condition overall.
The paint and exterior look very good. The paint appears to be all original, with no known accidents or damage. There is no body rust anywhere. This car looks very good all around.
Also included with the car is some very valuable upgrade hardware that would be useful if you wanted to track this car. I have a set of Koni adjustable coil-over front shocks plus a set of Koni rear shocks. I also have 944 Turbo front spindles and brake calipers. These parts alone are worth at least a few hundred dollars.
This is a 1988 car and as such it is not perfect. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. Here is a list of everything I know of that is wrong with the car: The leather seats show some wear. There are a few cracks in the dashboard. The sunroof raises electrically but comes back down as soon as you release the button. The sunroof removes from the car and reattaches perfectly. There are some minor dings on the hood. The outside passenger door handle does not work. The aluminum wheels are not perfect cosmetically.
I should mention that the dashboard clock/lap timer works perfectly which is very rare. These clocks are going for $500 nowadays due to their rarity.
This is a great-running, great-looking, dependable and reliable Porsche 944. I imagine you would have to look for a long time to find another one this nice for sale.
You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. Alternatively you can have the car shipped, please call Angels Moving Autos at 530 245 0481 for a shipping quote.

Porsche 911 Targa leaks out ahead of Detroit debut
Mon, 13 Jan 2014With the doors of Cobo Center opening for the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Porsche is set to reveal its new 911 Targa in a matter of hours. But before it gets the chance, the first batch of images have already leaked out, courtesy of Chinese car site autohome.com.cn.
As expected, the new Targa appears to ditch the complex sliding glass roof panels that adorned recent versions of the semi-convertible 911 in favor of a more back-to-basics approach. An entirely removable roof panel opens up the sky, backed by a metallic B-pillar hoop in front of a large curved-glass rear window.
We'll have to wait just a little longer for the full scope of images and all the official details, but we're expecting the new Targa to carry most of the same technical specifications as the 991 on which it's based. Watch this space for more.
Bentley tests next next-gen Flying Spur on Porsche Panamera Turbo body
Fri, Oct 21 2016At first glance, the prototype in the gallery above looks like a blacked-out version of the new Porsche Panamera Turbo. But this is actually Bentley's tester for the next-gen Flying Spur. And since the upcoming Flying Spur, among other Bentley vehicles, will utilize the same MSB platform as the new Porsche, seeing the British automaker using a Panamera makes a lot of sense. The Flying Spur is essentially a four-door version of the Continental GT, which has design cues from the EXP 10 Speed 6 concept unveiled at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It's safe to assume that the next-gen Flying Spur will get the same treatment as well. Other than the fender flares, the prototype is identical to the Panamera Turbo. So how do we know that this is Bentley's prototype? According to our photographers, the prototype's license plate is registered as a Bentley with the UK's Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. With the Flying Spur sharing the same platform as the Panamera, we expect the luxury sedan to get the same choice of engines, including the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 and 2.9-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine. A concept is anticipated to come out in 2017 with a production variant coming a year later.

2015 Porsche Macan Turbo
Mon, 06 Jan 2014The misinformation first started back in May of 2007 - more than six years ago - when word came that Porsche was developing a compact utility vehicle to fill out its product line. Rumors swirled that the German automaker's future "Roxster" would be based on the then-upcoming Audi Q5. By September of 2010, the name had changed to "Cajun," but the vehicle was still expected to be "based heavily on the Audi Q5," said reports in the months that followed. One year later, the first test mules were spotted, the mechanics hidden beneath barely disguised Audi sheetmetal, which did nothing to give the upcoming model its own identity. And even after Porsche announced "Macan" as the vehicle's production name in early 2012, articles stated that it would "arrive on the same chassis as the Audi Q5, though with suspension, brake and engine tweaks suitable to the Porsche range."
It's no wonder that most still consider the all-new Porsche Macan nothing more than a heavily massaged Q5.
To help lift some of the mystery surrounding its latest release, Porsche hosted us in Germany for an in-depth look at its new crossover (while Europeans call it a "sport utility," its car platform allows us to call it a proper CUV). The technology workshop offered us insight to the design and mechanical execution, and it concluded with a short test ride. The trip was both enlightening and educational - and it left us with a whole new perspective on the Macan.
