Where are you located? Would like to
See car in person if possible. Thanks
Beautiful car! I love it ! Most of the transaxles have fallen in the hands of people who could only afford a 944 or 924S but lack the funds to properly maintain them. They have ended up in driveways, backyards and junkyards left to rot. They are very reliable and fun cars and handle great with lots of cargo room. Not all Porsche mechanics are passionate and skilled when it comes to transaxle Porsches. Find one who has a passion, truly knows the ins and outs of these cars electronically and mechanically and you will be just fine. Drive them often, and never let them sit too long. The more you drive them the more reliable they are.
@Silver930 I've seen those. Someone makes a closed cell foam type that can take high temperatures and i think i saw them on ebay long time ago. It's not so much the low mileage and that it should still look like new but the age of it is what makes them crumble. You and I know that. But I agree, with that low of mileage I would scrape that old insulation off and instal a brand-new set so it matches the entire like new condition of the vehicle.
@JBoxerGT2 That certainly is an option.

@Silver930 What would you fix that cheap factory hood insulation with? These cars shouldn't sit for a long time . Not good for seals or electronics. The hood insulation is useless. Scrape it off and leave it at that.
@Silver930 I don't have time to detail that is why I am selling it. I also looked for the insulation everywhere but can only find one side. Please anybody direct me to find both sides of insulation and I will do it tomorrow.
Bid in the amount of $1,000
Fix that hood insulation.
Put on some 15 or 16 Fuchs
clean up engine bay a bit.
And you have a very nice classic Early 944
Very nice car, love those seats. Timing belt last changed 2013? I wasn't aware of a Full Thick-Pile Carpeting being an option? Its not listed on the option code sticker. Neither are those fantastic seats, which must be a fairly rare cloth. Very tempting
Bid in the amount of $500
WOW! Brings back some great memories. My very first Porsche was this same exact spec. Vividly remember the center console with Cassette holder. Wish I had the room for this beautiful example. Good luck seller!
@LongRunner @LongRunner, Thank you. The update is being addressed.
Beautiful Example, just want to correct you on your wheel comment, those are Cookie Cutter Wheels, not Fuch Wheels. Hope this one goes to a great enthusiast who will maintain it to a high degree!Best of luck to the seller ad the future Buyer!
