The vehicle was first delivered in August 1986 by PZ Glöckler (Frankfurt am Main) to the first owner = previous owner.
Due to various professional assignments within Germany, the vehicle was used exclusively as a long-distance vehicle by the previous owner and was usually parked in well-ventilated underground garages during the week (hence no cracks in the dashboard).
In the winter of 2021/2022, a Porsche specialist carried out a comprehensive technical overhaul.
Work carried out:
- Sealing of engine / replacement of various seals & shaft seals

The complete overhaul is documented with pictures and invoices totaling more than 20 TE.
The previous owner was very attached to his 944 and had no intention of parting with it, also due to the extensive investments he had made. However, with increasing age, getting in and out of the car became more difficult.
Thanks to the extensive technical overhaul, the 944 offers a perfect driving experience. The engine shows no signs of fatigue (no blue smoke when starting/shifting). Oil consumption is approx. 0.5–0.8 L/1000 km, depending on driving style. The engine is known for its very high mileage (500,000 km) and shows no signs of age-related weakness. The transmission also shifts absolutely cleanly and precisely.
Only the LCD clock display is defective and the electric height adjustment of the driver's seat is not working.
Even without power steering, the 944 has excellent handling, only when stationary and when maneuvering are the steering forces slightly higher. As a result, there are no known leaks and no loss of performance!
The vehicle has never been in an accident. In 2023, the rear right side panel was damaged while maneuvering in an underground parking garage and was repaired by a specialist company (repair report available). In addition, the front of the vehicle was repainted due to numerous stone chips.
The body kit is original from Porsche from the time of initial delivery!
The vehicle also includes the original 8Jx15 "dial design" rims with tires.
The vehicle is in very good technical condition, rust-free, unmodified, and in good overall visual condition. Whether on long highway stretches at 160-180 kph or winding country roads, the 944 sits firmly on the road and always provides a good and safe driving experience. The engine still has good acceleration even at higher speeds and feels like it has more than 163 hp. It's just fun to drive!
The 944 is driven regularly in dry weather to keep the seals and technology in good working order.
A valuation report dated March 2024 is available, stating a value of €22,000.
