Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / October 2004New to the group with a couple of questions.
I really like the body style of the early 944s. (The "flared" fenders do it for me). Some later models don't have them but some do. It seems like it's the turbo models with them. Is this true or do some other non-turbo models have them also? Like the 944S or S2? Also, $8000 for an 83 with 130,000 miles in fairly good condition (dealer), going rate or not? Seem kind of high for an older model with that many miles. Keep looking. The desirable models are 85.5 and later. You can buy a nice car for $4500. All 944s have the flares you are looking for - the 924s don't. Larry '86 944 '87 944S the 924 models do not hvae the flared fenders, all 944 after 85.5 do , also the non-turbo 85.5 or later will have big rubber things on the front and rear bumper, the Turbo models do not 8,000 for an 83 is way high, that is an average price for an 87 non-turbo with that mileage... for an 83 the street price is more in the $3500 range... and that is for one in really good condition and records... >I really like the body style of the early 944s.

Eight grand for an '83 with that sort of mileage is OUTRAGEOUS unless it's recently been repainted, had the engine rebuilt, and has two gold bars in the trunk. That kind of money will buy a decent 944 Turbo, 944S2, or a good 944S.

He may not be. Well, it was Dollars, and Miles, so it is a pretty good bet. Plus he was posting thru "gnilink.net" which seems to be in the NE U.S. All in all I would have to go with the assumption. Plus, we in the US always assume we are the only place that exists, and that seems to work for us, :) Bernard > Well, it was Dollars, and Miles, so it is a pretty good bet. > > Plus he was posting thru "gnilink.net" which seems to be in the > NE U.S. Fair enough. I paid $10500 for mine ('86 na) and it has 128000 miles on the clock. NZD and miles due to it being a Brit import. For NZ that's about right. Supply and demand I guess. Plus it's got to be a right-hand drive. Cheers, Alex >> Well, it was Dollars, and Miles, so it is a pretty good bet. >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >For NZ that's about right. Supply and demand I guess. Plus it's got to be a >right-hand drive. The 944 was enormously popular in the US, so they're very plentiful here. I parked my 944 only 2 cars away from another 944 tonight, and there are a couple more within a block of my place. My '83 is mechanically sound but with faded paint and worn carpets, and it cost me $2000. I've been offered a lower-mileage, 2-owner '83 with sport seats and LSD for $4000. Still trying to decide...

The fact that I bought two of them in the last few years suggests that this really is a realistic price. > even 8K canadian is outrageous > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > >Cheers, > >Alex |
