Nice 944 on Pistonheads

[Guest]

You're right there. Mine is starting to go that lovely pink colour[:-] on one side. T-Cut or Farrecla G4 works a treat temporarily but I'm already thinking of a respray when all the oily bits on my car are fixed.

not keen on the grey interior personally but there are plenty of worse colours.
Don'r like red at all. Neigbour just had some accident damage repaired and a half car respray in guards red. Looks completly ridiculous half pink half red.
Besides what a job taking a reasonable digital image for selling groan.

I thought I paid too much for my 944S2 89 recently with konis allround and chipped. It has full cream leather? interior (which I thought added at least £1000 to the value of the car.)

To get the right external colour with an acceptable interiour colour and a sound well maintained car is near impossible these days. I had to wait 6 months to find one. It has rust in the cills which was bodged with filla by previous owner so I know its gonna cost me £££ soon It once had rare A/C but he removed that too unfortunately.

I reckon a car is worth whatever that one buyer is prepared to pay if you can afford to wait for him or her

My previous 944 was in red and when I first polished it it looked really superb,unfortunately after a month or two it started to fade.I think they call it oxidisation?[8|]

ORIGINAL: creamray

Aye, it's oxidation alright. I believe if the cars are regularly waxed throughout their life, the red stays a nice rich colour. A guy I know has a Guards Red 3.2 Carrera on its original paint & it looks like new!

I didn't set out to buy a red 944 (India Red), I wanted a dark grey, blue or silver metallic one but you know how it goes! Am looking forward to catching up with you for a chat at Ragley Hall (so long as I can buy a ticket at the gate). I like the pic of yours beside your posts; nice & shiny.
