Representing the final evolution of Porsche's iconic 944 transaxle sports car, the S2 series was debuted with standard equipped power steering and anti-lock brakes, Turbo body styling, and a new 3.0L inline-4 DOHC engine with four valves per cylinder. This 1989 example comes finished in Zermatt Silver over black upholstery. Acquired by the seller in 2017, this example is said to have been cared for by two previous owners and routinely serviced. This 944 S2 is now being offered for auction out of New York while showing approximately 66k miles on the odometer.
This example comes finished in Zermatt Silver (LY7Y). The S2 features body-colored side moldings and the bodywork of the 944 Turbo including an aerodynamically revised nose with integrated fog lights as well as a body-colored diffuser located beneath the rear bumper. The seller notes the front driver’s side fender has been refinished as a result of a small driveway mishap while the vehicle was parked. Paint imperfections are noted including crazing most notably along the rear fenders, and additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. It rides on factory D90 wheels dressed in General G Max tires from 2020.
Inside, this 944 is appointed with a black partial leather interior factory equipped with air conditioning, an alarm system, a sound system, and automatic speed control. The seller adds that an upgraded Blaupunkt radio has been installed, and very small separation of the seam is noted passenger’s seat. All gauges, electronics, and accessories are reported to be working properly.
The largest displacement four-cylinder of its time, the 944 S2 carries a 3.0-liter 16-valve DOHC engine rated at 208 HP and 207 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed manual transaxle while stopping power is handled by fixed four-piston calipers with ventilated disc brakes and a Bosch anti-lock braking system. The seller states that routine oil changes have been performed, and the timing belt & water pump were replaced at 61,758 miles in 2013. Additionally, the Koni shocks and strut cartridges were replaced in 2022.
This sale will include a clean title, a window sticker, owner’s manuals, a toolkit, and some documentation.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for viewing my auction. With the exception of having a modern Blaupunkt radio, this car is completely stock and unmolested, a rare find for this model! This is a great car but I have decided to simplify and will be selling a few of my several collector cars over the next year. Good luck bidding!”

Nice driving video!

Hello, do you have an estimate of shipping costs (to Mississippi) and can you recommend a reputable transport company?

Thank you! The timing belt was last replaced in 2013. Although the mileage covered since the change is only a few thousand miles, I know that the next owner may want to replace it due to age. I have inspected the belt and it looks perfect, for what it's worth.
Nice S2! Regarding maintenance, I see the Carfax mentions "drive belts" in May 2023. Was the timing belt replaced then?
Thanks and GLWA!
