Vehicle Description
Porsche and the 944 served a need for the company and its customers
when it introduced the 944 to the market in 1982. It was to provide
a less expensive car but to also keep the customers coming into the
showroom that could not afford the pricier 911. With doing this
Porsche partnered up with VW and rolled out a front engine setup
that was taken in high expectations from the public and its dealer
network.
For the 1987 model year, the 944S "Super" was introduced. The 944S
featured a high performance naturally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam
16-valve 190 PS (140 kW; 187 hp) version of the 2.5 L engine
(M44/40) featuring a self-adjusting timing belt tensioner. This
marked the first use of four-valve-per-cylinder heads and DOHC in
the 944 series, derived from the 928 S4 featuring a redesigned
camshaft drive, a magnesium intake tract/passages, magnesium valve
cover, larger capacity oil sump, and revised exhaust system.
This well preserved 1988 Porsche 944 S was delivered new out of
Williams AutoWorld in Lansing MI and remained in Michigan area for
most of its life. The car was routinely serviced by the dealer for
service and warranty work. The vehicle was optioned from the
factory with the Charleston radio, protective side moldings, rear
wiper, automatic speed control, 16 ventiler insignia, sunroof, and
leather seats. Car retains the iconic 15in phone dial wheels and
all other factory features. This clean car has not fallen prey to
the aftermarket mods or neglected by the 16yr old drivers. It runs
strong, looks great and comes with some service records, clean
title, and owner's manuals. These cars are one of the few left to
not take a significant bounce in values like other Porsches, but
many rumblings have been heard that these and the 924 will start to
climb rapidly over the next few years.
We strongly suggest a closer look and you will be happy with a
quality car like this one that is affordable and very fun to drive
and enjoy for any person.
