UP FOR AUCTION IS A BEAUTIFUL 1986 944 TURBO. IT IS PEARL YELLOW WITH A TAN INTERIOR. THE ACCELERATION AND HANDLING IS TRUE 'RACE CAR' STYLE-JUST AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM PORSCHE. THIS CAR SHOWS NO SIGN OF RUST ANYWHERE. THE PAINT IS ABOUT FIVE YEARS OLD AND IS STARTING TO SHOW A LITTLE WEAR, BUT STILL LOOKS VERY EVEN AND SMOOTH. I DON'T USUALLY GO FOR CARS WITH SUCH AN EYE CATCHING SHADE-BUT, THIS SHADE OF YELLOW WORKS ON THIS CAR. I'VE GOTTEN QUITE A FEW COMPLIMENTS-THE BEST EXPLANATION I HAVE IS THAT IT ISN'T 'ARROGANT' YELLOW; IF THAT MAKES SENSE. SHE'S IN GOOD WORKING MECHANICAL ORDER. THE HEADGASKET WAS REPLACED AT 112K WITH A WIDE FIRE RING GASKET. IN ADDITION- CAM SEALS, A WATER PUMP , BELTS AND ROLLERS ON THE BALANCE SHAFT WERE REPLACED ABOUT 5K MILE AGO. I HAVE THE PAPERWORK ON THESE REPAIRS. ONLY PROBLEM CURRENTLY IS A SMALL OIL LEAK, WHICH I HAVENT LOOKED AT YET. I JUST PUT IN TWO NEW OIL COOLER LINES; SO I THINK IT IS A LOOSE OIL COOLER LINE- BUT I'M NOT SURE. THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST HAVE BEEN UPGRADED WITH A STAGE 2 MASS FLOW AIR SENSOR WITH INTAKE AND RECENT TURBO EXHAUST. A STAGE 2 CHIP HAS BEEN INSTALLED WHICH BRINGS THE HORSEPOWER UP TO AN ESTIMATED 260. THE TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTHLY AND THE CLUTCH HOLDS WELL. EXCELLENT OIL PRESSURE AND GREAT BOOST. THE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE BADS GOT SEMI-METALLICS ABOUT 5K MILES AGO. THE ROTORS WERE ALSO REPLACED AT THAT TIME. DRILLED ROTORS IN THE FRONT AND SOLID IN THE BACK. TIRES ALSO HAVE ABOUT 5K ON THEM, ALONG WITH A NEW ALIGNMENT. JUST CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER WITH 10-40 SYNTHETIC. NEW SET OF WIRES, ROTOR AND PLUGS ABOUT 3K MILES AGO. I HAVE A NEW FUEL FILTER FOR THE CAR BUT IT JUST HASN'T BEEN INSTALLED YET. REBUILT MASTER CYLINDER PUT IN LAST MONTH. THE AIR CONDITIONING RECEIVED A FULL CHARGE IN JUNE AND IS WORKING PERFECTLY WITH NO LEAKS. THE INTERIOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE. HOWEVER THERE ARE SOME CRACKS IN THE FRONT SEATS AND A FEW SMALL CRACKS ON THE DASH. CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AFTERMARKET KENWOOD CD PLAYER AND ALSO HAS AN ALARAM INSTALLED. THIS CAR IS MY DAILY DRIVER BUT A LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT HAS FORCED ME TO SELL THIS CAR. THIS IS A REALLY FUN CAR TO DRIVE. IT ACCELERATES AMAZINGLY WHEN THE TURBO KICKS IN. THE HANDLING IN THE CORNERS REMINDS YOU THAT YOU ARE DRIVING A TRUE PORSCHE. IT HAS A CURRENT PA INSPECTION GOOD TIL 02/09. I HAVE A FAIR AMOUNT OF PAPERWORK ON THIS CAR INCLUDING REPAIRS, THE ORIGINAL MANUALS, AND ORIGINAL STICKER SHOWING A PURCHASE OF $32, 229.00 IN '86

Keep looking. You can find a much better car for around 4K. This car looks like a real nightmare from just about every angle.
