Up for bidding is a factory slant nose 1985.5 Porsche 944, 2.5L, 5-speed stick shift, with great 25mpg. Please do not bid unless you already have the funds. As the last would-be buyer found out, any deposit made will be forfeited if the sale is not completed. This spring, due to the settlement of an estate, we found ourselves proud owners of this lifetime California Porsche, which has had only 1 adult owner. It was just shipped to us this March, and is completely rust free, with extremely low original mileage. It has never seen snow or salt, at all, in it's lifetime. If you don't already know, please do some internet research to fully understand the huge differences in the 1985 Porsche 944 model year. In a rarely seen automotive move, Porsche fully changed the 944 in the middle of the 1985 model year. This is the later half 1985 model with a slew of pricey factory upgrades, from the complete suspension to the complete interior. You do not want an early 1985 or prior year 944! This Porsche spent years in long term indoor storage. When it was brought out of storage a few years ago, it was mechanically restored to factory new. I have all of the original California based receipts to show that thousands of dollars in mechanical work was done since that time to fix any and all issues to make it mechanically perfect. This car really is minted out mechanically, with anything that even looked old being replaced. Car is very mechanically sound, with strong responsive engine, it does not leak oil, it does not overheat, transmission shifts smoothly in all gears. It always starts right up and drives straight, it both runs and handles like new. You just won't believe how well it drives and rides! The interior burgundy Recaro seats, door panels, and carpet are great. All of the options work (clock, windows, locks, cruise, pwr seat, sunroof, air, headlight doors, etc.), and all glass is good. The a/c is ICE COLD. Car drives very tight, just like a Porsche should. Car comes with factory sunroof (can lift up or remove), JVC cd player with Alpine speakers, the car was factory black and the body has been Plasti-coat upgraded in a stylish satin black look. All 4 tires are brand new. It also comes with the original Porsche factory owners manual. The body does have a couple minor parking lot kind of dings as would be expected with a 1985 car. The dash top does have some minor typical Porsche cracking, but the few dash cracks are thin, not some monster gorges with foam sticking out. Overall, while not showroom perfect, you would be hard pressed to find a lower original mileage and completely rust free 944 anywhere. The car shows very well and looks quite impressive for 30 years old. You can drive it home anywhere. Please check out the NADA blue book value on this car, as the price is way below the current "average retail" price. This is a NO RESERVE auction. I have 100% LIFETIME feedback as a seller, so no worries here. Please ask any questions BEFORE bidding, and remember, please don't bid if you haven't already got the money to complete the sale. Also, if you don't like attention, this car is not for you. We get compliments everywhere we take it.
