944 S2 Purchase - Corrosion on Central Jacking Point

[944wannabe]

Dear members,

I'm in the process of buying my first Porsche 944 S2. I want to negotiate price based on some issues of corrosion on the central Jacking point. How much would it cost to fix this issue by a professional and what is involved.

This information will help me negotiate some discount.

Thank you

Thank you for getting back to me. Very valuable advise. I had the car inspected and have a report, would it be possible to PM you the report, I would love to know the value for the car based on your expert opinion.

Hi Wildoliver,

Appreciate your input. The owner is now saying he has fixed the issue but is not forthcoming with details. Sounds like a wire brush job and paint over.

The company who did the inspection were unable to get the car on a ramp.

I will investigate further.

Worst case scenario, what do you think would be the cost of fixing the corrosion issue?

I can use this cost to negotiate the asking price.

Many Thanks

Ilyas

Thank you for the comments. It pretty scary when you put it like that. I'm gonna keep looking and hopefully find a nice 944. Only problem is the prices for decent ones are going up and up.
