Why would you want to do this to your 944?

though. The guy should have removed the reserve and sold the car IMO. There are tons of these with lower miles that are for sale from time to time, and inevitably the owner thinks he has a $15k car (they sold new for around $20k in the early years) and though they may be really clean, the market for them is very narrow. The car you posted looks well maintained and he said everything you want to hear (water pump, belts, clutch) maintenance wise when buying one of these cars but most decent condition NA's are $3-4.5k cars. It does hurt to look at boxster values compared to these as you can easily buy a good early model 986 for what a clean 944 costs.
