It is with huge sadness that I am selling my lovely 944 Turbo. Some of you will be familiar with this fantastic car. The Zermatt silver bodywork It is in superb, rust free, condition. Mechanically it is spot on, even the dark blue leather interior is in great condition (except for the usual driver side seat bolster wear). I have a huge history file of receipts, the original Porsche sales brochure, stamped service book and a full workshop manual. In addition to the 17" Speedline wheels fitted to the car I also have a set of 16" D90's for track day use.

The car is garaged, used on dry weekends and has a fitted car cover.

The car has the M030 kit with adjustable Koni shocks.

Since buying the car I have always had whatever work necessary carried out by either ProMax or my local Porsche specialist. I have also upgraded to modernise the appearance and improve performance (details below).

If you want to come and have a look, a chat and a cup of tea, you are most welcome. I would rather sell to a TIPEC member so I have not advertised elsewhere yet but I would ask that anyone buying the car give me first refusal to buy it back, should they ever come to sell it again as I am only selling as I have lost my job.

I will try to answer any questions as quickly as possible. The price is £6950.

Regular Maintenance:
30/8/08: Discs and EBC RedStuff pads all round
9/2/08: Oil service, MOT & diff. oil change
21/9/07: Perished hose replaced

24/4/07: Full service, balance belts, cam belt and tensioner
06/02/07: Central locking and O/S door seal
19/10/06: All power steering hoses replaced
10/4/06: Service and sunroof switch replaced
3/5/06: Repair alarm and replace ABS pump
10/1/06: Repair PAS pump
8/11/05: Refurbishment of fuel injection system

So, I waved goodbye to the old girl tonight. I hope that Gary enjoys owning her as much as I did :cry:

Thanks for all the support everyone. If things carry on as they are going at the moment it looks like values won't be picking up any time soon. So hopefully I'll be able to pick something up when gainfully employed again.

Gary's an existing (if new) TIPEC member, a previous 944 owner and a really nice bloke.

Don't know him but don't like him already :D
I was going to come and have a look at the 944, still at least it's gone to a good home
