Description
1989 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet, in shiny black, complimented by a burgundy soft top and light grey interior.
It's a lovely looking car and gets lots of attention... runs and drives really well, has had plenty of work done over the years, including the following:
12/ 2024 Passenger sill welding/ paint
09/ 2024 Front wheel bearings (£260)
05/ 2024 Oil change/ Battery change
06/ 2022 Clutch work (£522)
05/ 2019 Soft top toneau cover (£733)
04/ 2017 Full respray (£2200)
05/ 2017 Full soft top (£1295)
10/ 2016 Cambelt/ major service @162k (£1369)
Lots more receipts etc.
Everything works, lights/ power roof etc, has the nicer 17" cup wheels with 4 good tyres. Paint looks really good, few age marks here and there, nothing a good polish wouldn’t take out… no rust though. Chassis is solid, stainless exhaust system, now with a full 13 months mot!
Bad bits include:
Only blows hot air into the cab, suspected heater control unit.
Cranks slowly but always starts, suspected earth strap replacement to starter motor.
If not used regularly, the clutch bearing is a little whiny for a few miles. Clutch is fine though.
Odometer cog failed in 2023 @166k miles, replaced in my ownership but suspect the car has upto 1000 extra miles with a broken odometer... all works now and shows 167400. One mot'er recorded the wrong mileage a couple years back, flagging a mileage issue... a whopping 8 mile discrepancy!
That's about it though... Nothing really that negative. These 3. 0L motors are bulletproof and are often sold with well over 200k miles.
A very useable and reliable car, very rare too and SO nice to drive! Pulls well with tight suspension, great gearbox/ clutch, no fluid loss or running hot issues, summertime ready!
