1989 Porsche 944 S2 Coupe 2-door 2.7 Ltr on 2040-cars

Year:1989 Mileage:156000
Location:

Niles, Illinois, United States

Niles, Illinois, United States

Good: Body is in great shape, Porsche red paint looks great! handles great, very solid body. Runs better now then when purchased, will glide last mile before highway exit.

 

Florida car/ clean Florida title, but kept in Chicago garage currently.

 

This car has not been driven 5,000 miles in last 10 years.

 

944 "tank" solid frame which is ironic because i think its strength is slalom type handling and Drift car body frame, very light 2000 pound area. the engine is very clean filled with new parts, Exempt mileage, 2.7 liter non-turbo 5 speed, New clutch summer 2011, Rebuilt engine a lot in 2004ish. New Faulken tires. Sunroof. Easier to fit in then 911, if you are tall.

The 1989, 944 2.7 liter is better then earlier 80s engines in the 944. 944 models were Police Interceptor Cars, this car seems to run very well at a sustained 90 mph pace but is better at slalom type handling.

 

Owned the car since 2004.  Owners manual says run on 95 octane.

 

Bad: window washer sprayer doesn't work but wipers work well, put in 2 or more thermostats, No A/C, may hold freon.

Odometer says: 156,000 miles, from 2007-2014 no more than 700 miles in one of those years. In 2009, had head gasket repair and when I got it back from the shop the odometer wasn't working.

 

Interior: you wouldn't buy this car for the interior, it's okay, 2 bucket seats with Porsche covers, minor flaws, hatchback works well. Lots of new cars seemed to have copied this design, Nissan 350ish, it's 70s vette like.

 

Current minor repairs needed:

Crank shaft censor $150, saw one on eBay last week $49.99.

One hazard light bulb $5.00

 

 That's it.

 

You could see how long the AC holds freon? Window washer jets not working.

Good chance once the crank shaft censor fixed you would not have a problem for years.

Runs better now then when i bought it. Selling because I'm unemployed.  If it was a 70s vette have to ask $11,000 but 89 Porsche for $9,900. I have put more money into then asking.

 

You'll like it. Come by and drive it, if you want to buy.

Ph# 407-760-5219

 

Sale is final via Paypal, unless otherwise negotiated. I have to be paid to set up shipping.

2015 Porsche 918 Spyder: Touring the factory

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Willy Wonka granted just five lucky Golden Ticket holders access to his incredible chocolate factory, yet we consider ourselves just as fortunate, as Porsche invited us to be among the first of just four American journalists to see behind the closed doors of its 918 Spyder assembly plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany. Of course, there were no Oompa Loompas or flowing chocolate rivers, but the vast white hall tasked with producing only 918 examples of the automaker's limited-production flagship revealed details that make Wonka's Golden Egg sorting room seem rather mundane in comparison. Unlike a traditional automobile manufacturing plant, which often encompass all processes of making a vehicle (e.g., stamping steel panels, welding components and painting), the 918 Spyder is built in an assembly plant. This means that hundreds of already manufactured parts, each crafted by Porsche offsite suppliers, are brought under one roof to be assembled into a perfectly finished product that is much sweeter – and far more expensive – than any candy delicacy. Our tour guide was Michael Drolshagen, Porsche's Director of Production, Logistics and Quality - a walking encyclopedia when it comes to the engineering and assembly of the 918 Spyder. Drolshagen generously offered us unrestricted access to walk among the factory's 110 workers – and a couple-dozen vehicles in process – to photograph everything. This is a story best told with pictures, so we've put together a raft of our best images in a high-resolution gallery and captioned each with a detailed description. If you've still got questions, please voice them in Comments section and we'll do our best to answer.

2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S debut [w/video]

Fri, 03 May 2013



The Turbo S will dispatch the Nürburgring in "well under seven and a half minutes."
Porsche is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its 911 Turbo in the best possible way: by announcing the next-generation of the rear-engined beast. The 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are here, and man oh man, do they seem like the business.

Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
