1989 944 Turbo S (951) - Red With White Interior - Very Good Condition on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
|
1989 Porsche 951 (944 Turbo) in very good condition. 113K miles. Runs great. I have owned it for the last 19 years and never raced it. I'm the 3rd owner, and the car has always been in California All original except for the following and regular maintenance items: 1. Computer chips replaced with AutoThority chips to increase engine power. This was done prior to my purchasing the car 19 years ago. I have the original chips and will include them. 2. Blaupunkt cassette/radio replaced with Blaupunkt CD/radio. I have the original and will include it. Major Mechanical Repairs: 1. The only one I can think of is the clutch, which has been replaced twice. Collision Damage: 1. A truck backed into the drivers side while the vehicle was parked which damaged the door and front fender. Both were repaired and repainted. Major Defects: 1. The drivers seat has a tear and is worn. This is shown in one of the photographs. 2. The air conditioner does not work. However, I believe that it is mechanically fine and needs to have the Freon recharged. Because this has the original air conditioning system, it uses R12 with has been phased out. I chose to not recharge it some number of years ago because of the high price and the good weather here in northern California. Minor Defects: 1. The speaker in the driver's door stops working every once in a while. There is an intermittent connection somewhere, but I have not been able to find it. Included Extras: 1. Saratoga glass top. The top works fine but is in need of repainting the aluminum trim, and replacing the weather stripping. This is shown in the photographs. 2. Useable mats. These are shown in one of the photos. 3. All maintenance records. 4. Original computer chips and cassette/radio (see above). Maintenance is up-to-date except for the timing belt, which is now due for replacement. All maintenance and mechanical repairs have been done by a well regarded independent Porsche shop, CT Automotive. 1989 was the last year that the 944 Turbo was available in the U.S., and the 1989 model was the fastest. It had many upgrades over the previous years. These are explained in the photo of a sales brochure. Please contact me with any questions. |

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Porsche looks back on very first 911 Turbo
Wed, 11 Jun 2014Porsche has really hit on a winning formula with its series of videos going inside its vault. So far, we've seen the V8 911 prototype, mid-engine test mule and aerodynamic prototype. The company is sticking with the 911 theme in the latest entry, but this time it's an actual production car - the very first 911 Turbo ever made.
Being the first Turbo would make it important enough, but the car was also a birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of Ferdinand Porsche and sister to Ferry Porsche, and she regularly used the car. The family didn't just hand her a random car off the assembly line, either. She got to make it her own with some interesting modifications. She supposedly even painted landscapes from inside the car.
You have to wonder what Piëch thought of her present. The early Turbos had a reputation for being a bit of a handful to drive. The boost tended to bring the power all at once, which wasn't always welcome when cornering. She deserves some honor just for driving the car on the curvy, alpine roads. Scroll down to learn about this important Porsche, and we can't wait to see what car the brand showcases next.
Watch Finnish hoons drift a Porsche, a motorcycle and a snowmobile on ice
Tue, Feb 10 2015We're figure the guys in Finland's Stunt Freaks Team see this video as three minutes of freewheeling snow drifting with a Triumph Daytona motorcycle on snow tires, a Porsche 911 GT3 rally car and a Polaris RMK snowmobile. We, however, like to think of it as a mini-documentary on the winter habits of bipedal Finnish mammals, who display a curious set of winter habits that fascinate us no matter how many times we see them. Admittedly, if we lived conveniently close to Rovaniemi, set smack-dab on the border of the Arctic Circle in Finland's Lapland, we'd do the same thing. The title says it all, save for there also being a side-by-side that was probably the camera car. It's missing the huge roostertails, but it's got a crash and a wheelie to make up for it.
