Thinking of buying a 944. Any advice is appreciated. What is the best year? Obviously, looking at turbo models. I know this vehicle has a crazy timing belt schedule.

WHat are you looking to do with it?
Tom and Michael nailed the specifics of the differences Honestly you just need to find the one that is in the best condition or what your looking to do with the car (track toy, daily, show, restore, investment). Mine is a track toy with a big turbo and a ton of money in suspension bits... Fantastic car, but one of my favorite cars I've ever had to daily was a stock 86 with just a chip. That was such a good daily car that had such a surprising amount of power and long legs with some great balanced handling, not to mention real comfort. Sure 350hp and 1.2g's is nice for the track, but the 951 is such a great highway car in stock form. |
