Funny craigslist ad

85.5 944 Porsche

"Faithfully maintained: new battery, new hoses, new DME, timing chain and valves."

In other words, "fixed and caught up on maintenance after timing belt broke due to lack of maintenance."

That is a funny ad. No pictures of the inside? The 85.5 doesn't even have a timing chain. I wonder if they just threw one in there for fun?

I have an 85.5 that's been "Faithfully maintained:" too. New valves, head, timing belt and gaskets. Oops, I meant, had a timing belt break. haha

The paint seems a little faded in the back.

It actually looks pretty good. $6000 seems a little high.

Who knows; maybe the timing belt was close to being due and he just changed it to make the sale easier?
