I was just wonderin how much (if I wanted to sell it) my 83 porsche
944 na with 100,000 miles is worth, I bought it for 2500 and dumped
alot into it (Bout 1000), im 17 and this is my third car, (previous to
this I had a 86 then a 88 mustang) i dont think I can afford parts for
my car when needed(it was love at first sight, i wasn?t thinking of
how expensive everythings worth) anyways how much would you guys pay
for my car??????

you ought to be able to get your purchase price back, probably not much
more.  but it's not that expensive to keep running if you do your own work -
maybe this is an opportunity to learn some mechanics

yea, I?m gonna keep it, im in tech. school for automotive right now
and I do all the work myself.  I would like to start doing stuff to it
performance wise, were should I start? all it has right now is a cold
air intake, what should be next?

if you want to destroy the value of the car, make a lot of performance mods.
I would recommend that you learn your trade by making it 100% stock and
keeping it that way - you can outrun most cars on a curvy road with a dead
stock 944 without even trying.  If you want to drag race, get an oldsmobile
442

    The truth is there aren't many significant performance upgrades for
the non-turbocharged 944. You can tighten up the handling a bit with
suspension mods, use a chip to move the torque band around a bit
(FRWilk), but overall the car is better accepted for what it is. Of my
3, the 944 is the one driven most often and I've got a sneaking
suspicion a 968 would have me kicking the other two out of the stable
and becoming a one Porsche man.
    If you're into performance upgrades, your best bet is to sell your
944 and get a 951 (944 turbo) to play with. A ratty one can be found
cheap, and the fixing up and upgrading would be more rewarding.
