Porsche Enthusiasts Club Forum

Hi All,

I stumbled across my old 944 back up for sale again! Looks like the right hand sill cover is missing. I wonder if both sills were replaced?

It says sold to Simon at the bottom

Typical car dealer - advert full of lies, or should I be politically correct and say 'mis-leading'. It does pee you off when you see how they mis-lead unsuspecting customers.

Don't get me wrong, we all know it's a nice car that's been looked after and has some personal improvements and a full service history, so why don't they just be honest about it?...... poor Simon if they've botched the sills and they're full of filler now!

Simon who? I wonder. The only thing I spotted wrong with the ad was the colour described as Velvet Red. Should be Garnet Red.

Ah well. Lets hope the new owner has more success with the old girl than I did. If someone called Simon joins TIPEC in a month or two, has a '89 944 S2 with a boat load of problems, I'm not saying 'owt!
