My 1989 944S2 now has 156.000 miles - and is still a blast to drive. Over the years I've done a clutch, changed to a non-Freon A/C, and I'm about to replace an alternator. I do the belts every 50,000 mies - and my oil is Mobil 1 for high-milegae cars. I replaced the radio with a Sony - and I'm about to replace that one to get my iPod hooked up. The engine has never been opened up - nor has the 5 speed manual transmission.
I bought the car from the original owner in Los Angeles - 16 years ago. I have it in the Midwest now and I own a spare set of wheels with mounted snow tires for winter driving.
My ABS stopped working 3 years ago - and I have a temperature gauge that does not work - along with lamps in the dash that are getting dimmer and dimmer. Some day I may have to have the dash pulled apart for repair - and that could include a new cover as my dash top is all broken up. At present my horn has also stopped working - The Porsche service guy will work on that next.
All-in-all at 24 years old this 944S2 is still a head-turner and it still makes me smile at every high-speed corner on my country roads.
