I started a list, but ran out of paper - a whole notebook's worth!

Hey don't miss out on this car!
Rare tilt steering on an early 944...
They could sure use it!
I especially like the "Rare" LED rear Porsche light...I think he means LEB for Light Emitting Bulb.
You may want to check that 11-year old timing belt before you go on too many test drives....
Nice black krylon over spray on the fake BBS's... That blue tape at Home Depot would have done wonders.
If that interior is clean my car is going to win the next concours event!
Whatever you do don't bring a black light out when you look at the car! Yikes!

$11,000!!
Damn, I should have asked a lot more than the $12k I sold my pristine '86 for LOL!
Oh, but wait....the '86 actually was near perfect, one owner, with ~50k miles. Ahh, I'm sure the one in the ad is almost as nice :lol:
Maybe he'll take my old Sears lawn mower in trade? It just needs a few things......

I like the specially modified front spoiler that allows for those high driveway and speed-bump clearance issues. Nice. :banghead: I want this car. Looks just like my first Porsche, right ? :oops:

For $8500 I'll sell you a spec car and trailer!! I especially like the steering wheel at 45 degrees while the front wheels are straight??? Now I know how to correct that damaged front valance, just cut it off. :roflmao:

I also just noticed the custom two tone leather interior. Drivers seat is black, Passenger seat is brown. This car has so many rare options. :lol:

The two tone steering wheel matches the two seats. My favorite has to be the dual exhaust. Maybe the 2.5 l uses one and then a separate generator of .2 l uses the second exhaust like a motorhome? Or is he counting seat motors to get up to 2.7 liters in an 84. The wieght reduction from missing door handle is smart.

Does he mean 11,000 pesos?

I'm pretty sure the price includes the "Guard Dog" alarm and theft deterrent system*.
*food and waste removal not included.

You missed my favorite!

That must have been a really rare option! :roflmao:
