Must be something in the air!
1990 Guards red 944 turbo SE
3 owners but the first for just 9 months, second for 17 years and I’ve had it for 5 years.
Substantial SH - the second owner used one specialist garage local to him and as such each and every piece of work has been documented back to the part exchange paperwork from Sytners in Nottingham in 1991.
The car had been off the road for a 18 months when I bought it due to failing health of the PO and I had it fully recommissioned by the same garage before collection.
I have then run it daily and gradually resolved anything that has arisen.
I now consider it to be a reliable car for daily use. I don’t expect to fix much at MOTs now and most changes are now upgrades and optional. It is however 23 years old and occasional issues will and do crop up.
In the last few years the following has been done:
£4K bill from 2004 for a top end rebuild, new radiator and cooling system, new cylinder head gasket – the last major bill from the PO.
In my care:
discs/pads/sensors all round
thermostats x 2
turbo water pump
4 wheel bearings
belts (cam and balance) (aug 13)
water pump (sept 09)
arb bushes
clutch – OEM sachs kit, master, slave and flexi pipe all replaced.
Bosch silver battery
alternator and belt
abs pump and system overhauled - new wheel sensors
New DME relay
In addition to this in Feb 12 I had Promax add:
KW3 suspension
Lindsey Racing Dual port waste gate
Bailey DV
JMG ECU/DME chips
Full 3 " wortec exhaust
New engine mounts
Manual boost
Zeitronix wideband AFR meter and boost gauge
Sills checked, repaired where necessary and Dynax S50 in the sill cavities
Front lower wings repaired
ESS front splitter fitted and painted guards red
Some stone chips to the bonnet and badge panel
Bridge spoiler
New front side light
MOT Aug 2014
Tax Jan 14
Just serviced at Steve Bull Specialist Cars in Devizes Aug 13.
All work done at Steve Bull Specialist Cars in Devizes, Porschemode (Bristol), Promax and Jon Mitchells Garage in Christchurch.
Interior:
Heated sports seats in linen leather and in good condition
Clubsport steering wheel
Becker Indianapolis satnav system (try finding one of these)
Refurbed (Lepsons) CS alloys with new (Mar 2011) Toyo T1Rs
10 speaker option from new
Clock works, thatcham cat 1 alarm.
Split seats with original luggage cover in place and intact
Options sticker in place in boot.
Full service book, OEM and maybe original supply mats.
AC delete kit fitted. It has worked in my ownership but the compressor needed replacing, weighed a ton and I have no need for it so out it came.
Car currently on 246K. The PO used the vehicle for work when a new car and put 90K on in the first 3 years. Its maintenance whilst in his care was appropriate for this mileage and is fully documented.
Favourable compression and leak down results from a known specialist summer 2012 available.
Very few of the important parts of the car have actually done all 246K
Don't let this put you off before you view the vehicle. If the car had half the mileage the price would be rather higher and once you're in it you really wouldn't know.
£6500 ovno.
Well some interest but still here. I'd like it safely tucked up in someones garage before the winter so price drop to £6000.
