Early 1985 Porsche 944 Base Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Roseville, California, United States

FUN FUN FUN FUN car! This car is NOT fast...but shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear is probably my favorite driving experience. I've read that the 944 may be the best handling car ever made and that's probably stretching it a bit...but this car is FUN to drive for sure! This is an "Early 1985" Porsche 944. This car was purchased on Ebay 3 years ago from a seller in Arizona. After buying this from Arizona, I had it shipped to Washington to my house where it was subsequently taken to a Porsche dealership in Seattle. I had all the hoses and belts (not timing belt) replaced, and the car was checked from bumper to bumper. I spend $2k on miscellaneous repairs and belt/hose replacements. The interior is in very good condition. The seats are also in very good condition, although I added premium sheep-skin covers to protect them (the $200 a piece kind of covers, OMG you'll love them). I also spent almost $2k installing a new radio and custom pods/door speakers. I added a premium leather steering wrap and a bra. It also has professionally tinted windows ($500 job). Shortly after purchase, I shipped the car to a family member's house in sunny California to keep it in a warm, rust-free garage. It has 96,204 original miles as of the time this was written. It runs good and it was driven from Sacramento to Los Angeles recently without any problems whatsoever. It gets about 26 mpg on the highway. The car has power everything (windows, side mirrors, moonroof, pop up headlights) which is kind of ahead of its time for 1985. The body is in very good condition with a few small chips in the hood, and a few very minor door dings. The windshield has a small chip on the driver's side. The chip is a bit annoying and you may want to replace the windshield...or you may look past it and not have a problem with it. As with a car this age, there are a few minor issues: * The A/C needs recharging. The fan/blower works fine. Heater works fine. Windshield wipers work fine. Lights/headlights work fine. Clutch is smooth and it shifts smoothly. * The passenger window has a new motor/wiring by the Porsche dealership, but the window rocker switch on the driver's door broke and it will not roll down presently. * The dash has some minor cracks, but it is in amazingly good condition for its age. * The tires show some aging on the sidewalls, but the tread is good and appears to have well over half their tread left. * Although the car is currently in CA in the 95661 zip, the car is not registered in CA, nor has it ever been smogged in CA. If the car is sold to a CA buyer, the buyer understands that the car may not currently meet CA smog requirements, even though it is in stock condition. The car currently has Law Enforcement Memorial plates and is tagged in WA. Plates will be removed after sale. I see that a lot of people use 944s for club racing so...maybe this is how she'll finally end up? Note that the 2nd owner only had the car less than a year. According to him, the car was owned by a female real estate agent who loved the car (that much is obvious) and he bought it in an estate sale. So this is basically a 2-owner car. Also note that the car DID pass smog in Arizona 4 times (but because WA doesn't require a smog certificate for a car this old there was no reason to smog it). Will it pass CA smog? No idea. Let's assume that it won't so if you plan on registering this is California BUYER BEWARE. I assume NO liability regarding its smog-ability in CA or any other state. Buyer must pick up or have carrier pick up car in the 95661 zip code. Buyer pays ALL shipping costs and seller assumes no responsibility after carrier takes possession. There are many carriers to choose from and I was extremely satisfied with the transport process when this car was shipped to me. After the sale, we can exchange phone numbers and make arrangements. Please expect to make full payment within 3 days of end of sale. I would prefer a personal check to save some PayPal fees (look at my feedback and be assured you'll get the car after the check clears) OR we can add the PayPal fees to the final bid...whatever that ends up being. You will then choose a transport carrier and pay them directly. If you have zero feedback or some negative feedback, please do NOT bid on this car. Thanks for respecting that. This car wasn't meant to be stored in a garage. Buy it, enjoy it, and turn heads driving down the road! It's amazing how many people have given me the thumbs up and I was just minding my own business. 944s are cool, plain and simple and this car handles like a DREAM. |

Consumer Reports says infotainment systems 'growing first-year reliability plague'
Mon, 27 Oct 2014The Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey (right) is out, and the top two spots look much the same as last year's list with Lexus and Toyota in first and second place, respectively. However, there are some major shakeups for 2014, with Acura plunging eight spots from third in 2013 to 11th this year, and Mazda replaces it on the lowest step of the podium. Honda and Audi round out the top five. This year's list includes six Japanese brands in the top 10, two Europeans, one America and one Korean.
Acura isn't the only one taking a tumble, though. Infiniti is the biggest loser this year by dropping 14 spots to 20th place. Other big losses come from Mercedes-Benz with an 11-place fall to 24th, and GMC, which declines 10 positions to 19th.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it's not traditional mechanical bugs hauling down these automaker's reliability scores. Instead, pesky problems with infotainment systems are taking a series toll on the rankings. According to Consumer Reports, complaints about "in-car electronics" were the most grumbled about element in new cars. Problem areas included things like unresponsive touchscreens, issues pairing phones and multi-use controllers that refused to work right.
2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures
Thu, Nov 18 2021The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is the Hyundai Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for an incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 The Hyundai Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year. Kia has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next production electric cars for the brand, which should look right at home next to things like the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, the 2023 Kia Sportage HEV has been revealed. The hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year. The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same as the Sorento HEV that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean Fisker has brought the new Ocean EV to the L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below. Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, due to hit U.S.
Get lost in Evo's sublime 2013 Car of the Year testing
Fri, 08 Nov 2013Every year Evo stages its Car of the Year test, bringing the best performance cars in the world to one location for an epic shootout. This year the magazine pitted eight CotY finalists against each other on Route Napoleon in Southern France - Evo claims it's the "best road in the world" - and then proceeded to nitpick the smallest of faults on each car until the winner could be named. You see, this year's lineup of machines was just so good that only one car obviously wasn't CotY material from the get-go. Can you guess which one judging from the list below?
- Aston Martin V12 Vantage S
- Audi R8 V10 Plus
