        Attention Sports Car buffs and collectors:  Yes, it only has 20,188 miles!  I am the second-owner.  The first-owner was the wife of my little league baseball coach.  He bought her the car and she only drove it to Dairy Queen for ice cream on nice summer days in Cleveland, Ohio.  Now that I own it, I do the same.  Always garaged, the car had never seen rain or snow.  I keep it in a heated-garage (radiant heat in the concrete floor) and do not take it out unless the roads are dry and the sun is shining.  I took it to a Porsche mechanic when I got it and asked about its condition, the mechanic looked at me dazed and said "it's like a new car"!  It runs like a top! German reliability and quality at its finest.  It is a very affordable toy that will bring you a lot of smiles and satisfaction.  Comes with a genuine Porsche bra that fits the front end and protects it from stone chips.  Also comes with a genuine Porsche form-fitting, quilted, cover which was on it when I saw the car the first time.  It has a cool radar detector that still works perfectly.  I put the new Michelin tires on it.  One fun aspect of the car is, because it is an "automatic", anybody can drive it and enjoy it.  And don't scoff at this automatic, this automatic rocks!  The air conditioning is cold and everything works.  The seats and interior are perfect, and appear as close to new as can be described, which is amazing.  This car is truly pristine.  P.S.  I have all the original books and papers regarding this car, including the original window sticker.

 

Here is some interesting history on this car.  The Porsche 944 was rated as one of the 10 best cars of 1986 by Car & Driver Magazine. See the link here:  http://www.caranddriver.com/features/1986-10best-cars-1986-porsche-944-page-8

In comparing the 944 Non-Turbo to the Turbo 944, Car & Driver had this to say: Of course, the 944 Turbo is fun, fast, and frightfully expensive. Attacking that list in reverse order, the price just barely clears our $30,000 ceiling, a stretch of your right leg will carry you to 157 mph, and the only activities that are more entertaining than driving this car demand a live partner.

Where does this leave the regular 944 (Non-Turbo)? The truth of the matter is that most of us at Car and Driver prefer it to the Turbo for everything but flat-out, high-speed, get-me-to-the-church-on-time pursuits. The ... 944 (Non-Turbo) has better throttle response and its steering feels sharper on center. Furthermore, the normally-aspirated 944 (Non-Turbo) is about the best sports-car value going. This is more true than ever for 1986, because Porsche has seen fit to give this machine several new suspension components and a new instrument panel (both of which were developed for the Turbo) without raising the price a smidgen. All of which makes one wonder what exactly Porsche has in mind for next year.
