A classic car with exceptional performance. In 1985, Car and Driver rated the Porsche 944 best handling car on the road. Over 25 years later, the 944 continues to provide drivers with an exceptional driving experience, whether it be on the track or street--and you'll see why.
Option codes: This Porsche car is a 1985/1 model year with the sports package, which meant better shocks, struts, and it has the optional limited slip differential as well.
Cosmetically, the car looks great but has normal wear and tear for a 1985. It is eyecatching, but you should expect some rock chips, scratches and cracking, and tiny rust spots in the finish on an antique car. And yes, it qualifies for antique plates in VA. It even has the original leather seats (with normal wear), which makes it a hit with Porsche purists at shows.
I ran a Carfax and found no surprises. Please note that the mileage indicates 28k miles because the odometers in these cars restart after 99k miles. With that said, the engines are phenomenally well built (look up Alusil cylinder bores) and I expect it to provide driving fun for a long time. Auction includes the CD stereo, which works but isn't currently hooked up. The handle is bent on the parking brake, which makes it sticky--they aren't expensive on the internet and I'd replace it if I kept it.
Mechanically, the engine and drivetrain are in great shape, and I'd drive this car across the country. Battery was replaced on 6/12 with an Autocraft Silver so it's still in warranty.
Clear title, no liens, ready for cash sale.
The car is much more satisfying to drive than any other car I've driven, but this is your chance to own a classic for a bargain price! Take a look at the pictures, and happy bidding!
0 feedback buyers must contact me prior to bidding. A $500 deposit due within 48 hrs of winning an auction, remainder when you pickup the car. I reserve the right to end this auction early for local sale.

Porsche designer to head Lamborghini style department
Tue, Mar 1 2016The winds of change are blowing through the front office in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Not only does Lamborghini have a new chief executive, but not it named a new chief designer as well. And he comes from Porsche. Mitja Borkert is his name, and he's been working in the Porsche design department since 1999. He headed up its advanced design office until 2014 when he was named head of exterior design for the company. The Macan, Cayenne, and the new 987 Boxster were all heavily influenced by his work, as were concepts like the Panamera Sport Turismo and Mission E. As the new director of the Centro Stile at Lamborghini, Borkert takes over from Felippo Perini, who's heading over to run Italdesign – a job that used to belong to Wolfgang Egger. The once-independent design firm was taken over by the Volkswagen Group in 2010, and recently saw its famous founder Giorgetto Giugiaro leave to start another office afresh. The shift in the design office follows hot on the heels of the announcement that longtime CEO Stephan Winkelmann is leaving for Audi's Quattro GmbH, and that former Scuderia Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali is moving in to take his place on the outskirts of Bologna. Considering how different their design approaches are, it will be interesting to see how a longtime Porsche designer applies his skills to Lamborghinis. Will future Raging Bulls go softer and more rounded, or will Borkert have to pull some new tricks out from his sleeve? We'll be watching to find out.

In his new role Mr. Borkert is responsible for the design of future Lamborghini models and the coordination of the design team, reporting to Maurizio Reggiani, Board Member for Research and Development. He succeeds Filippo Perini, who was appointed Design Director of Italdesign. Borkert is German, aged 42, and attended the Design University of Pforzheim where he graduated in Transportation Design. In 1999, he began work at Style Porsche, in Weissach, holding various positions, including General Manager Advanced Design until 2014, when he was appointed Director of Exterior Design. He contributed to the development of several Porsche models (Panamera Sport Turismo, Porsche Boxster 987 facelift, Cayenne, Macan, Mission e).
Porsche offering short-term loans to Macan waitlisters
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Walk into a Porsche dealer today, place an order for a Macan and you'll be looking at a waiting period of six months or more before you can expect delivery. That may be common enough for high-end European automakers, but the Macan is meant to lure new buyers to the brand, and the waitlist could be enough to deter them from sticking around.
The solution? Offer to lease them a Boxster or Cayman until their new Macan arrives. Shorter in term that the usual new-car lease, these six-month terms are designed to keep buyers from turning their backs, all the while experiencing the kind of vehicle Porsche does best.
Of course it doesn't hurt that the dealer then gets a used sports car to sell again once the short-term lease is up. And we wouldn't be surprised to see some buyers asking to hold on to their mid-engined sports car for a little longer, either.
