Porsche 944 opinions?
-
Mine / checking out new rims and tires. The 944 does have some quirks such as the timing belt, balance belt and water pump that do need changed every 30k miles or 3 years. They also can have the oil cooler seal ( oil pan) that can crap out and get coolant in the crank oil which means new rod bearings. I haven't driven mine much since shortly after getting it it went into winter storage but they are a helluva lot of fun to drive! If you have other questions or want me to take a gander at it let me know.

Hammer down, sitting in yours was the reason I started thinking about getting one
TJ, I decided I'd rather just grab a new turbo, fix all the boost leaks, and stick with a stage 2 car for now. 280 bhp is more than enough, and I'd rather have 2 fun cars than 1 really fast car lol

That sucks. I'll keep my eyes open for a decent one. They do say the cheapest Porsche will be the most expensive to own.

No they're belts I believe, and I've read that it should be done ever 15-18 months minimum... That's worse than a Ducati superbike
+1 on Ducati services being often. I got my desmo jobs done like twice a year.

Its not hatin, that's the damn troof! Those were some of the least reliable Porsches ever made. Even today the parts are crazy overpriced, there's no aftermarket support/help for cheaper quality parts, they look like dog turds, and the performance is severely lacking compared to most cars.. Its a glass turd that costs $2k a year to keep running for the 3 days a year you wanna drive it..
Honestly, I might just buy this instead of another car..

I agree on the 928- they were and are crap

I remember my uncle just standing there talking about how beautiful and awesome they were, and all I could think was "damn that thing is hideous!".. Then he started talking about how much the parts costs, and I couldn't believe they sold a single one off the showroom floor lol

If you want a good budget German car thats fun and not too expensive to maintain, I hear the 1984-1991 BMW 3 series are nice....
