What have I done? My wife wants to go to Bryce in September but won't ride in my 914 for a number of reasons; no AC, no airbags, smells like gas, it's too loud, etc. Many of the things I like about my 914. So I drove this '87 944 turbo and I was hooked. It's been very well maintained and a blast to drive. I may regret it when I have to work on it, but for now I'm happy. Although the 914 is a little pissed about having to go live in my daughter's carport (she lives across the street) because the 944 is in the garage.

very nice car!!! its the same reason i bought my 2000 S 914, er, i mean boxster - for some DD creature comforts in 100 degree summer weather. i came very close to owning a 944, wanted one since i was in college in the '80's . and every car has its issues - but finding a nicely maintained car from a p.o. that took care of it is the key.
i bought the box knowing the full history and mainainence. now i have a competent mechanic here at an independant shop, when i do the scheduled mainatainence this year and do the plugs etc, i will also pull the transmission and do the clutch , while i am there we will do a IMS upgrade to the ceramic bearing, other than that issue these car are fairly easy to maintain. I think you will enjoy that car!!!! - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) enjoy!! |
