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.

Are you saying the early cars have better options for wider rims?
I like my rims like I like my pizza, deep dish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) |

I like my rims like I like my pizza, deep dish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Later series II cars (86-on) have the alloy trailing and "A" arms so are wide track,better handling but limits offset compared to the early cars however theres still a fair amount of room with those lovely flared wheel archs. Expect to pay fairly big money for well sorted later turbo,they have become rather sort after,don't make the mistake of buying a fixer upper as it will most likely bleed your bank acc @ an alarming rate. Lots of issues with these cars if not looked after or incorrectly modified examples so avoid them. Choose very wisely and you will be rewarded with a great driving experience these cars are highly underated. Go well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) . |
