Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / February 20041987 Porsche 944 w/400K(!) miles for $2600 -- good deal?
Greetings, I've been looking at a Porsche 944 with nearly 400,000 miles on it for $2600. The body is actually in pretty good shape (some minor rust in small areas) and it appears to be in good running condition. The interior is a mess, however, with several cosmetic repairs needed - in fact, it could use a whole new interior. The car was listed at $4000 and I worked it down to $2600 due to the very high mileage. I know it will need work and has no real resale value, due to it's age. I've never owned a Prosche before. Is this a fair price? -- John "It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man." - from Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN...... It will cost you far more then if you took that money and puchased one that was in better condition >Greetings, > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > He's right. I don't know where you are located, but I have a red/black '86 944 w/215K, original exterior w/no rust, a beautiful interior, new tires, all maintenance current, and everything works except the cruise control (no documentation seems available on the thing) for $4300. Sometimes you get what you pay for! Larry '86 944 NA '87 944S Larry, on the cruise control if it works but is erratic, replace the unit under the hood, it it doesn't work at all, replace the brain under the dash, drivers side near your feet. either unit will run in the $75 UDS range in the used market...

That is a lot of money for a car with that much mileage. The important thing to remember is that even little parts can be very expensive for these cars. I would walk away, and then go find another 944! Good luck JH > My only answer is NO WAY. That is a lot of money for a car with that much > mileage.

Better luck next time, I guess. -- John "It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man." - from Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey > Greetings, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > very high mileage.

By who and how many miles on rebuild? When were the balance and timing belts, and water pump changed? How often did you change the oil? Any obvious leaks Get a compression check. Is shifting loose or stubborn? Sometimes its best to spend the $150. for a PP at the local Porsche dealer Gordon > > Greetings, > > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Is this 944 still on its original engine???
