I know some of you hate the 944 but I love mine... ever since they were in the car magazines I dreamed of owning one.
However I find with my budget it is hard to keep up on the maintenance... and for a guy who has worked on old American iron comparatively they are not DIY friendly (mine has a leaky water pump that has kept it down since 2007, look up 944 water pump replacement and you will get a 45 page document
)
My wife (God bless her) evidently can see how much I love the car and has agreed to "get it running" so it will be my DD and she will take over my Hyundai (not sure she knows "get it running" will run +$2000).
Practical thing would be to sell it as is... maybe get $1000 (could be parted out but I don't have the time or patience to do that. Plus it would break my heart to see the car torn apart).
Plan B would be to spend the money to get it running and just drive it on the weekend (pretty much what I was using it for).
Plan C would be to get it running sell it and get another fun weekender car that is easier to work on and/or less expensive to maintain, but what would that be in the $2000-$4000 range? (what a running 1984 944 goes for).
So what do ye think of those options?
putting on my flame suit... waiting for the 944 haters to post
