BaT Auction: 45K-Mile 1984 Porsche 944 5-Speed

This 1984 Porsche 944 shows just over 45k miles, and was reportedly driven by the original owner in Ohio until 2014. The selling dealer purchased the car from the second owner in October 2015, and subsequently sold it to a client in Florida. The dealer re-acquired the vehicle five months ago, and the timing belt and engine oil have been replaced within the last 1k miles. Power comes from a naturally-aspirated 2.5L inline-four paired with a 5-speed rear-mounted transaxle. The seller states that the car was well cared-for under previous owners, and a large binder of service receipts formerly accompanied the car but unfortunately was misplaced by the previous owner. This 944 is now offered by the selling dealer in Illinois with a clean Florida title and includes a car cover and a vinyl bra.
