Naah, the guy's Dad said they wanted to keep it

.

Makes me wonder how bad they want to keep it, since it's been sitting behind my old Boss' shop for 3+ years now

Mabye "the automobile disposal folks" will be paying the ol' 944 a visit if it doesn't get claimed soon

Funny thing about people that abondon their vechicles at shops. They will not return your phone calls or they will always be in next week but they never come. BUT the minute that you try to get the title to sell their property to redeam the repair costs they come screaming and yelling.

That happened just last week. I almost had a 2001 suzuki gsx-r 600 for $1200, but the guy came and picked it up only a few days before we would have had the title.

Thanks for keeping an eye out guys, one will pop up somewhere that fits the bill.

Joe, found out the clunking in the rear end of "the car" is probably a rubber centered clutch. Replacement is about $400 in parts alone. Have to look at what else needs to be fixed and add up the list. Yeah, maybe it needs a visit from the BK wannabe

I looked at a local 85 944 for sale today. Guy wanted 5k for an early 85. He neglected the timing belt till he busted it, had to replace the head. Brakes were in need of repair, hood was bent, paint flaking off the sunroof, cracked dash, hole in seats, etc. He had no records since he says he maintained it himself, so what else has he neglected?

I made him a fair offer, but he wouldn't come off the 5k, so he still has his car.

Going to look at a 84 tomorrow in Durham, we'll see how it goes.

SCORE!

Already got it home. 84 na, 60k original miles, deeeeep blue, well maintained, records, etc, cheap price.

What a concept, buying a car that runs and isn't a project.

That is quite a find. I would drive that as a daily driver.

I looked around me and I couldn't find anything good. Although I did find a 968 for sale.

I'm too cheap though.
