I have been lusting over 944's for about a year. I have been doing some research and have started test driving some cars that are for sale. The first was an 88 non S. It had far too many mods and a rough interior. But, WOW when the turbo kicked in I couldn't help but smile! Today I drove an 87. Guards red with black leather interior. Not optioned real well but a nice 82,000 mile 2 owner car. Looks good, runs good and fairly well maintained. The price on this one is $7500. Seems like a good deal based on the condition of the car. Since I am considering buying this one, I took this one onto the interstate. WOW!!! I can now relate to all of the accolades that these cars get when the turbo kicks in at 75 mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . This car felt great! Strong, well mannered, smile inducing fun.
Based on my research so far, I was really looking for an 88S or an 89. But haven't found one close enough yet to test drive. Should I hold out for an 88S or an 89? Am I crazy thinking that a 944 turbo will be a good "daily driver", no snow driving. Any advice on the 944, 944 turbo is greatly appreciated. |

I had a 81 924 turbo when I was 17...really liked the car, but it's No 914. My biggest issue was it was extremly expensive to have worked on and parts were (are?) outrageous. Of course I'm in a diff. place today as you...being able to work on my own cars and having some loose change to pour into them.
