Oh no, you won't find me with ownership papers on a 944. My mechanic says they are now his bread and butter, making him even more money than 928 owners and that's saying something!

I'll stick with Boxsters. At least I'm learning how to troubleshoot this model, and my posting has already risen to 950!

Yes, I have heard that the older 944s are a black hole!

Hey there, be nice now. When the Boxsters seen around town are up to 28 years old they'll be his bread and butter.

A great reason to learn how to take care of your own so you can keep the bread on your table. :dance:

86 944 Turbo...

My 1986 944 Turbo was a blast to drive and wasn't bad with maintenance. I sold it about 10 years ago though...so I guess that could be the difference!

I think it is mostly that the 944s are getting quite old and the parts are getting quite expensive.
