Hi All

I am new to this site and wanted to get your input. I am looking to Buy
a 1990 1991 944 S2 but I am not sure what the service costs are? I also
wanted to find out what sort of things could/has gone wrong on these
cars. I went to a dealer this weekend but they told me that they had
not idea as to the cost for 944 service as they specialize in 911's.

Thanks

The 944S2 is quite different from the other models. The Cabriolet even more
so. The S2 is the most modern of the 944's. The engine is completely
different than the standard 2.5 or 2.7 version.
Parts are scarcer and more expensive, but the difference is worth it!

Thanks for the input. How reliable are they to own and to take to
Porsche events/Track days and so on?

I went into this one website that say that they are really reliable.
The one guy got 311000 miles out of it and he said there is no smoke
and no need to open the engine as it was properly maintained.

Wich is the first thing I would look for when buying one.

My 87 944 with well over 100,000 miles is my daily driver in the nice
weather, and my track beast when my finances allow. If you plan on
tracking the car, might consider a little money getting new
shocks/struts if they are original and the car has some miles on it.
Also consider timing belt if there is any doubt about when it was
changed or if it has been sitting for awhile.
The 944 is my favorite car in terms of handling, predictability on the
track etc. A great first track car!
