right the decisions been made for me. as something big endy has gone last night, garage has had a look and thinks crank shaft bearing. i just dont have the time to sort it as said before i am off away with work for a substantial time. so am going to put her up for sale. i dont have to sell, am not in the need for the money and if she doenst go thats fine, ill just dry store her and sort it when i get back i just dont want to do that as leaving it that long without running it will no doubt lead to more problems when i return. so here we go.
shes an '88 944 lux with the 2.5l (even though it has the ventiller rubbing strips down the side) shes extremely clean and not seen many that are as tidy. in ocean blue which again ive never seen on another 944. just coming up to 130k. and im looking for £2100 no offers for her, she was going up for £2600 before this problem as she is immaculate with a lot of history having been stripped and rebuilt by Elliot Newman on here and i purchased about 3 years ago. im gutted im selling her as shes been the best car ive ever owned. up to this point ive never had a problem with it apart from the clutch going which was the original clutch from new. shes been very cherished and looked after and still draws lots of attention and admiration wherever she goes.
Bad points:
few bubbles of rust along drivers side sill and some in the arches nothing bigger than 5p pence. have taken pictures to try and show. passenger side clear.
small tear in driver seat bolster where they usually go.
clock has just gone this week, costs £20 for a replacement from this forum.
little dimple on right side of bonnet where lifters went while i was working in the bay and hit a tool. barely noticeable though
Good points:
has been regularly serviced, last done 700 miles ago, am an engineer in the RAF on the Red Arrows and love tinkering with old cars and bikes.
porsche cup mirrors and later bridge spoiler
has rare fitment OZ futura alloy splits and also comes with d90's that i was going to use as winter wheels
Recently (2 years ago) had the clutch replaced
has clear indicator lenses front and back supplied by Richard Marsden from the forum which i think look brilliant
has a 944 turbo strut brace fitted
lowered 15mm at the front with hard to find nowadays techart coils.
nice all black leather interior.
porsche 'script' door handles
removable roof bag still in the back
and finally the brilliant number plate come with it BNZ7 944
have tried to be as honest as i can. if anymore pictures are needed give me a shout.
would consider a px with a 924 gt rep or a vw caddy
thanks
james
right think im off for a little cry :'(
