1987 944 n/a

I paid $2400 for mine at an auction. First Porsche, no records.

I bought the 944 almost 3 years ago.

The car looked decent. Oil leaks everywhere. Bad PS pump. Many electrical problems. No radio. Clutch on it's way out. Normal wear and tear for these cars at this age on the interrior. Decnet paint job, some minor flaws. It did drive well.

$600 into the PS pump. Paid someone to put it in (mistake). I took care of all the electrical problems. Most were things unplugged, plugged in backwards, burnt out bulbs. Clutch job coat $1800 at a tranny shop. I would now do that work myself. Basice CD/radio was $300 installed w/speakers. Belts, water pump, cap, rotor, new front seals at the dealer was $1300. I would not do this work myself too.

I upgraded the stereo to a double din Cd/DVD/radio with a bass tube and amp. Looks and sounds good. Added an alarm, power locks, and a remote for the power hatch. New fuel injectors, adjustable fuel pressure regulator, and a mounted fuel pressure gauge for a supercharger set up.

New stereo and set up cost about $1K. Alarm and extra features was a total of $300. I did the locks and hatch myself. The SC project to date is at $500.

I plan on keeping this car for a long time.
Future plans are to finish the SC upgrade, all new interrior, and new paint.

The way the car sits I would not part with it for anything less than $6K. It is solid and very dependable. And it has a nice system in it.

Current 944's in the Buffalo, NY area are all selling for $6K to $9K for n/a's. I have yet to see a turbo or an S for sale around here. These cars all have between 100K and 150K on them, all have records, and none have oil leaks. They all have the normal wear and tear on the interrior and most, if not all the electricals work.
