I don't think there is much I can add to what has been said.

Yes 944's are cheap to buy and unsuspecting buyers will be shocked and dismayed at the cost of maintenance. All's you can say is if you are going to buy an old car on a limited budget you better do a little research as to what it will cost to keep it running.

I was on the verge of buying a 968 (from Blackfoot) and sure if I scarped together all my nickles and dimes I could have got it (at a great price) however reality stepped in and said "if you go broke buying this car how will you afford to keep it running?"

Bob, I think your problem is your car has way to few miles on it... 944's get broke in somewhere around the 100K mark. But seriously there does not seem to be any constant in automobile reliability, I'm sure new Honda's implode occasionally on there way out of the dealers lot.

I have a $4000 944 with 150K miles, a broken sunroof, only one of the stereo speakers works, occasional gas smell in the cockpit, no A/C, and a looks good from 20 feet paint job.
I also have a $12,000 Hyundai, runs smooth as glass, everything works, and a 10 year/100K mile warranty.

When I go out on a date which car do you think the ladies want me to show up in?
