Need advice selling 944 Turbo, please!!

[Tony Beckwith]

Hi guys

I'm really looking for help at a tricky time - yes, the time has come for me to sell my trusty 944T for a 'family car' (OMG!).

The thing is, the car is great but not perfect and I just don't have the time to go through the whole sales process.

The MOT is coming up and I don't have the budget for last year's advisories (3 tyres + oil leak) plus anything new.

Can any of you well-informed folks advise me on what to do?

I'm not looking for silly money at all - far from it - speed is arguably more important!

Please help!

Many thanks
Tony.

Hi Tony, I would put a post on PCGB forum (you don't need to be a member) I mentioned last year that I was thinking of changing my 944T to a 968 and immediately had 2 PMs offering to buy the 944 and 1 offering me a magnificient 968S locally at a reasonable price, a very easy change!

Im curious as to who else wanted to buy it? Im also curious as to how you fit a mountain bike in the boot - did you ever take a picture?

I always thought a slipper should have been the first tick on the options list .

A well-known spares dealer wanted it, but I didn't want her broken

I would just take off the front wheel to put the bike in, could fit my daughter's hockey goalie kit in as well, so i could drop her at school for team practice and then ride around Grafham Water whilst I waited:



Went in the 968 no probs too:



Thanks for the reminder Blade, not sure on the Slipper remark however?

Thanks for the pictures Jeremy. Im about to try to do the same. With regards to the prospective purchaser: Id completely forgotten, sorry.

Ive PM/emailed you.

You should buy another . Re the slipper I put one in my old 2.8 turbo a long time ago and it transformed it from a liability in the wet into a car that would hold amazing slides .

It had the LSD option, but as I didn't have the power on at the time it wasn't really doing much....

I will have more pork at some point, it is just a question of which end the engine is and how many cylinders...

Next time you'll know what to do ?...

Or Front: Eight.....

I foresee you struggling to get that past the board!

Approval for a 964 might be more easily obtained though.
