What did it cost new? Code help
1984 Porsche 944
I am doing some research on my car. Option codes: CO2 - Catalytic Converter H44 - Do not know 158 - Radio Monterey 220 - Locking limited slip diff 349 - Do not know 409 - Sport seats - left and right leather 418 - Protective side moldings 431 - Leather steering wheel - 4 spoke Rear wiper - code unknown Cruise - code unknown Alarm - Code unknown Metallic Paint option. Removable top - electric power - code unknown. Can anybody help with the missing codes? What would this car retail with the options listed in 1984? Thanks. |

Your car is somewhat similar to mine, although you have more options. my car has leather sport seats too (just recovered them, what a job!).
the options you have that i do not are: limited slip, 4 spoke wheel, rear wiper, cruise control, alarm. my car is sunroof delete though (i never could figure out if that added to the cost or not). anyway, my car sold for 27,447.20. that should give you a ballpark starting point, i'd say your car is probably a bit closer to 30 given the more options. this is the list of prices as it says on my window sticker under 'manufacturers suggested retail price:' porsche 944 coupe......................21,440.00 gemini grey metallic paint.............445.00 genuine leather front seats...........950.00 monterey digital cassette radio.....600.0 sport seats................................250.00 *i think that is ridiculously cheap, and everyone should have had this option* protective side moldings...............155.00 if you do the math that adds up to more like 24,000 but of course there are always other associated costs... i can't find the other reciept right at the moment but dealer fees and whatnot made up the other bit of the price. FWIW - my 951S has NO codes written in the trunk. the window sticker however says what the options were and how much they cost. the 'S' option package for the 951 was approximately $5,000.

Cost
Thanks Mike for all the details. 27K back in 1984. I think back in 1984 I was making low twenties. I can understand why this car was out of my reach in 84.
In todays standards, what would this car cost today? Again, thanks for your help. |
