I didn't know the listing went live. Here's what I wanted to convey once the listing was live:\r\n\r\nI hate surprises so I\u2019m going to do my best to convey the good, the bad, and the ugly equally.\r\n\r\nStuff I\u2019ve done to the vehicle (outside of normal maintenance):\r\n- Replaced turn signal relay (I bought 2 relays so there\u2019s an extra that comes with the car)\r\n- Replaced battery (should still be under warranty)\r\n- Replaced radiator and radiator hose\r\n- Re-installed catalytic convertor which was removed by the previous owner\r\n- Some PDR and paint touch ups\r\n- Replaced odometer gear\r\n- The previous owner replaced the stereo deck\r\n\r\nThings I\u2019d want to know if I were you:\r\n- The AC worked when I had it re-charged but then stopped working again a few weeks later. There\u2019s obviously a leak somewhere but the good news is that if that leak is found/repaired, then I\u2019m pretty sure recharging the AC will bring it back to functional. The bad is that t here\u2019s a leak somewhere. \r\n\r\n- There\u2019s a dent on the driver\u2019s side front bumper. It\u2019s hard to see and I often forget its there but I can attach a photo if the one submitted doesn\u2019t get posted.\r\n\r\n- There has been some PDR. The vehicle was at the dealer for normal maintenance when a hail storm hit. Thankfully there wasn\u2019t much damage but there was some. I can provide photos. These have all been repaired with PDR. There were a few places where the paint came off and those spots were touched up. \r\n\r\n- The clutch sticks once in a while. I put my foot under it and pop it up an it\u2019s good to go. Once in a while meaning a handful of times since I\u2019ve had the vehicle.\r\n\r\n- The odometer worked when I got it but later I noticed it stopped working. It took me a while before I built up the courage to replace that little gear but we got it done. I have photos of that whole process as well if you\u2019d like to see them.\r\n-- I replaced the odometer gear in June of 2022 and it works now\r\n-- From the day I bought it to today I\u2019ve put less than 1,000 miles on it \r\n-- I\u2019ve already opened a correction with Carfax to get it fixed on there. I didn\u2019t realize the service technician had report 108K until I got the Carfax this June. I\u2019ve also reached out to the technician that worked on the car to help with the correction. \r\n\r\n- There\u2019s PPF by the rear fender for rock protection. It\u2019s old and detailers have told me it should come off with some steam, gentle hands, and patience but I haven\u2019t tried removing it as I didn\u2019t want to take the risk that it pulls paint. \r\n\r\n- The hatch sticks and the struts for the hatch need to be replaced.\r\n\r\n- There is an alarm system because I see the pin pad but I\u2019ve never tried to get it working.\r\n\r\n- It drips a bit of oil once in a while. I feel like it\u2019s only a small amount and over a long period of time, and I\u2019ve never had to top it off, but I\u2019m trying to be as upfront as possible. \r\n\r\nNow to the good stuff:\r\n- I didn\u2019t really drive it much (I\u2019m guessing under 1,000 miles). You may be wondering why I didn\u2019t drive it much?\r\n-- It was supposed to be a weekend car, but I\u2019m a recovering work-a-holic and didn\u2019t make much time for fun.\r\n-- With the AC needing recharged, I didn\u2019t drive it when it was hot out but I also didn\u2019t drive it in the winter because of snow so there was a small window of time each year that I\u2019d take it out besides around the neighborhood to keep the fluids moving and not letting it sit for too long without being started.\r\n-- I got a Taycan and drive that more often than the 944.\r\n\r\n- It has been garage kept as long as I\u2019ve had it and the previous owner said the same thing. I think the body looks pretty nice but I am biased.\r\n \r\n- I had it on a battery tender and covered when not in use. (cover comes with the car)\r\n\r\n- The dashboard is in pretty decent condition and without any major cracks. \r\n\r\n- I love the Guards red / beige combo with the turbo twist wheels. I see a lot of black interiors but not the red/beige combo. Maybe that\u2019s just me. \r\n\r\n- This thing gets more attention than any car I\u2019ve owned. I always get a thumbs up or a head nod from some stranger when I take it out. There\u2019s something about keeping a classic fresh that garners respect. At least that\u2019s what I tell myself. \r\n\r\n- It gathers attention whenever I\u2019ve taken it in for an oil change and into the detailer. Maybe they get 16 Candles vibes. \r\n\r\n- I\u2019ve had it detailed inside and out a few times to keep it feeling nice. \r\n\r\n- The clutch feels smooth. The weight distribution feels so balanced. It\u2019s fun to drive and still pretty fast when the turbo spools up. I haven\u2019t driven it without the performance chip so I\u2019m not sure what it would feel like without it. \r\n\r\n- Timing belt, water pump, power steering belt, cam seal tension rollers, etc. were serviced at 90K miles so not too many miles ago. This was done under a previous owner but I have the service records in a binder.\r\n\r\nWhat do you get with it?\r\n- The vehicle \uf04a \r\n- A bunch of service records with the oldest dating back to 1986.\r\n- There\u2019s the upgraded ECU installed but I have the original and it comes with the vehicle.\r\n- A car cover\r\n- A cover for the sunroof\r\n- Owner\u2019s manual\r\n- Window sticker\r\n- Multiple keys\r\n- A few extra relays\r\n- Tire pump\r\n- Spare tire and jack\r\n\r\nWhy am I getting rid of it? \r\n- I just don\u2019t drive it enough and upgraded to a Taycan\r\n- With my kids growing up we have more drivers in the house and I need the garage space.", "likes": 8, "timestamp": 1660967473, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 9327507, "authorName": "GALLERYMSPT", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/gallerymspt/", "bidAmount": 2200, "content": "$2,200 bid placed by GALLERYMSPT", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1661001274, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9328857, "authorName": "Dedennis99", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/dedennis99/", "bidAmount": 9500, "content": "$9,500 bid placed by Dedennis99", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1661015142, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9333658, "authorName": "Unzen", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/unzen/", "bidAmount": 14000, "content": "$14,000 bid placed by Unzen", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1661053261, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 9338822, "authorName": "Maui944", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/maui944/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@ag9\r\nI had the same issue with the clutch pedal sticking every once in a while.
