After about a year, I got my new toy
-1986 944 Turbo
-Just over 100K miles -Never been wrecked or molested -Older respray with a few nicks but easily touched up -Other than the hatch carpet and maybe new front seat covers there's not much else cosmetically to do inside -Only mechanical issue I believe is the MAF door sensor needs the "wiper arm" adjusted as it stutters every once in a while at WOT -Previous owner had it for at least 10 years and he was the son of the dealership owner that I got it from -I paid well LESS than auction price on this beauty and could double my money even with the soft economy (took me a year to work this deal, right place at right time)

Thanks. I had 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo S that I just got rid of last fall I think it was, but I've always wanted the 951.
