General Description:Hello potential Porsche 944S owner! I am selling this well optioned Guards Red on black 1988 944 S 16 Ventiler edition. This is a clean example of the first water cooled 16 Valve 944, ith a 5 speed manual transmission. This car would be rated a "Condition #3" for value details through Hagerty.com. It has the very desirable dual air bag safety system, port leather seats, imited slip differential and Anti-lock Brake System ABS. I have the owners manuals, sales brochure, keys. The title is clear. The 944S has 85625 miles. I am enjoying driving the car, o the miles may be slightly more. Once sold, will cease driving it other than for delivery purposes. The S edition is more affordable to maintain, t get great fuel economy and insurance rates are far less than the Turbo models. It a car where you simply "get more bang for your buck."
Exterior:All original panels with no history of any accidents or body rust, ll fender, ood, oor and quarter panel VIN stickers match, hich means no sheet metal has been replaced! The hood, ront spoiler and header panel appears to have been repainted due to rock chips. It should be wet sanded and polished to even it out. I removed a rear center reflector with its bumper mounted license plate mount, o some holes are exposed. The rest of the car shines and looks sharp. The sunroof, oors, indows, ocks, nd hatch all open and close as they were designed to.
Interior:The interior is clean. The seats are original and have never been re-covered, he leather is a little bit stiff, ut has not faded through. The carpeting has no tears and shows no fading or adverse wear marks. The drivers seat may need to have the bottom panel replaced. The sunroof operates perfectly and it can easily be removed. The A/C will need to be recharged with R134A.he Kenwood stereo works perfectly with all the speakers sounding clearly. The gauges, peedometer, dometer, ipers, witches, ontrols and all lights work perfectly. Includes the compact spare, ack and the original Porsche tool kit.
Powertrain / Transmission:The 2.5 litre 188 horsepower engine runs perfectly. The S Edition features a high performance dual overhead cam, 6 valve, 88 hp 2.5 litre engine, revised transmission and gearing to better suit the DOHC rev limit. For whenyou need performance, he mid to upper RPM's is where this engine thrives, et at the same time it is thrifty on fuel economy. The clutch is good and the transmission shifts in and out of all gears smoothly and efficiently.
Suspension, hassis & brakes:The suspension in this 944S is very solid with no noises or looseness. The S edition is equipped with theprogressive springs for better handling with larger front and rear anti-roll bars.The car will need an alignment because it does have a light pull to the right, ut there is no steering play and it is responsive to performance driving, ssertive or evasive steering. The car ABS system works perfectly. The pads have about 80-90%.
