I'll step out on a limb here - I do not believe a base 2.5l Boxster is a better car than this 944. These older Porsches are built better for one thing (I have owned older Porsches and newer, big difference imho). Also, that 944 looks to be in pristine condition. The only way I would move out of that and into a 986 is if the Boxster is an S, with the LN or comparable upgrade already done.

There is no way I would sell that 944 if there is ANY question in your mind. Pristine 944's are getting more rare by the minute. I think you will regret it. Just by the fact that you are asking tells me you really don't want to part with it. Find a way to keep it and get the Boxster. Good luck with your decision.

Without a doubt keep that 944! Unless you want to sell it... To me


In all seriousness the 944 is appreciating and it's becoming increasingly harder to find one in that nice of condition. You will make up $ you sank in the boxster in upgrades from the 944 appreciating. Wait about 5 years, save up to get an S. I would love to have a 944 like that in my garage to use as a weekend cruiser.

I sold my 88 944S and bought a 99 986 Tip. The 944 had a lot of track mods and was a fun car to drive but. I dont have any sentimental attachments to cars. Gone and replace with another. I like the Boxster much more. Cayman is next.

If my 944 was as nice as that I would keep it but its not and its redundant with my 986 and my 951 track rat. So it must go...

You only live once, so go with your gut and do what you think you will enjoy the most. It's all good to have memories, but sometimes it's fun to go out and make some new ones!
