944 S2 - time to part company

[gemmerson]

I am selling my S2, been together for 3 years but its time to move on to something new. Just thought I would drop a note on the forum if anyone's interested.

Thought we'd got rid of Dougie for a moment!!
Nice car good luck with the sale

Yes Mike already spotted that[]

Sigh

Nice buy for someone

Priority at minute is second car for Miss J and no! a porsche is not an option unfortunately it would never make it up the farm track to where the horse she looks after is[]

Sure?

 

[944s2]

Yes that would work

but I think insurance may be an issue and it would scare the horses[]

Simple. Horses cost an obscene amount of money to run, an S2 would be far more in keeping with the new age of austerity.

Does Mrs J not understand this? Try explaining it this evening, possibly during her favourite programme for added emphasis. []

I value my life

Miss J would not be amused

That volcanic dust gets everywhere []

I can confirm that it's a superb example - George bought it from us and has addressed the only downside - scrappy paintwork around the sills (genuinely just scrappy as opposed to rusting through).

Last time I saw it was in the car-park at Glasgow airport, and it looked fantastic. [8D]

There's something a bit wrong about considering buying your old car back isn't there..... [&:]

 

[gemmerson]

Makes perfect sense to me, sell when you want rid of it, get someone else to spend some cash fixing it and then buy it back for less than you sold it in the first place !! Go onyou know you want to

George - Looks nice, shame you're selling. I just passed the 14 year ownership post at end of Apr for mine. If you don't mind me asking who did the work on your sills and wings and approx how much (know it was in 08) as mine are starting to go, or could anyone recommend someone in the Glasgow area.

 

[gemmerson]

Dont know if selling is the right word......not much biting at the moment, so might have to do a slight adjustment on the old price.

The sills and wings were done by Buchan Auto's over Cambuslaing way. I sort of know Ewan Buchan and he is an ex 944 S2, Turbo and 968 owner so he knows them inside out. Total cost for both sides was approx £1600 and that was wings off, back to bare metal, rustproofing, cutting out the small rusted bits and then build back up. Took about 3 weeks, lots of photo's etc and hopefully will be good for another 20 years now !!

Thanks for that. Hope the fish start biting soon.
