If you don't know what you are looking for, take it to a porsche mechanic before buying it....Prepurchase Inspection.

Also be wary of body damage, it can be very expensive to repair. Make sure all the body lines are straight (hood lining up, trunk shutting all the way, the headlight lines being straight) if they aren't there's a chance of the vehicle being in an accident and not being fixed properly. Good luck and let us know what you get!

I am the OFFICIAL owner of a 83' 944! ...non-turbo...Epoxy coated, then red paint, and clear coat not 6 months ago. stock engine runs great wuth 114,000 miles on it, and everything lines up perfect...but the front passenger window motor is burned out, but i have a new on ealready, and the rr brake caliper mount is gone... $1500...how did I do?

The window motor- " but on ealready"....typo:D i have a new one already

What is the history of the timing belt. If it has not been done recently, get that done before driving the car at all.
|
RE: What should I look for/avoid?
Yeah. Generally a major thing is the documentation accompanying the car. I actually learned more about my 83 944 by the documentation that came with it than what carfax had. I can actually trace every last service and everything since it was BUILT! Gotta love meticulous owners.

RE: What should I look for/avoid?
How often does the timing belt need to be changed? Is there anything else that needs to be changed with it?
|
RE: What should I look for/avoid?
yes I would also like to know when the timing belt needs to be changed.
I am also about to Purchase a 944 (1987 2.5lt Turbo) and also would like to know what to look for. cheers! :) |
