Hi Everybody,

I'm the proud owner of a 1983. 944.

I'm very fond of my car and want to share my enjoyment wit her.

 

Hi mate, welcome to the forum! Got any pic's of your '44?

 

Thanks a lot. I'll try my best to add some pics.

 

Here it is

Hi, for a twenty something years old car, it look very nice! Well keep, what makes you pick this car?

 

Tinchao,

I saw the car at a dealer and due to it's immaculate condition, I baught it as a collectors item. She belongs to a old man, did only 100,000 kilometre and only 4,000 kilometres in the past 7 years. It actually is still brand new.

 

Wow, your car looks great. I have an '85 944. 107k miles, interior looks great, but some work could be done on the outside and she leaks a bit of oil from head gasket :\



How much did you pay for yours?

 

Hi, Piccoloturtle, thanks for the nice comments, actually, I brought it Pre-own certify with only 400 miles on it. I spend less than 60k, it is an 06 :-) Enjoy driving it everyday.
Check out this video if you have time.

Piccoloturtle,

I've paid R73K for it. In today's terms it's about 5,200 Pounds or $10200.00.

All the mechanical orientated car lovers I've met, told me that they never saw a car with that age in such a good condition.

A mechanic showed me that the white powder they used during the manufactoring process to install the door rubbers is still there if you bend it over. Well, I don't know about that, I'm just driving it, :-))

 

tinchao,

Your car is seriously sexy as hell. I've looked into getting a used Boxster, and really they are'nt super expensive. eBay has '04s going for like 22k. Finding a used one to be financed would be hard however. Your video made me cream my pants like a thousand times :\ Those S's push 300 hp right? Goddamn, I need $

Toffie10,

That thing looks prestine. Like I said, mine is an '85 and does not look nearly that good. I paid $2,800.00 and it was previously a daily driver, but sat for 4 or so years. I am not super bummed out though, it drives well and takes corners nice. It's not super fast, but driving something that you enjoy driving is better than driving something someone else thinks they would enjoy driving. My friend just baught an '83 Scirocco, and it is also in great shape. I would love to sink some cash in it and make my 944 nicer, but that has to wait. How often do you drive it...if at all?
