One-owner 1985 944, looks good...

...full records, all stuff done on time. Burgundy over black, Fuchs.

Guy wants $5k for it. I think that's not a bad price for the car. What say the 944 gurus?

[Matt Monson]

The wheels are worth 40% of the asking price.

Early or late?

Either way, if well maintained and in decent shape, $5k is a good price. Don't come across many one-owner 944's very often. If he has the full service history and the original window sticker/books/tools.. score.

Man, I would buy it. They rarely, if ever, come up clean as the bottom feeders (no offense please) have had their hands on them for 25 years now (and that is for the last one to come off the line. They are awesome cars, and the ONLY downfall to owning one is fixing all the stuff that should have been fixed by the last people, fixing all the stuff that people didn't bother with, and cleaning up a poorly maintained example. I would do it - an '85 is a great car to start with.

[OK-944]

I paid 2500. for my low mileage (75k) 85.5....but it needed about this much again to truly bring it up to par - and it still needs some minor fixes. Having said this...I'm still having almost as much fun working on it as I am driving it.

But if I found a truly nice one-owner 944...with everything up to date and with full records (and those Fuchs to boot!) - yeah, I'd buy this in a heartbeat!

Broadly speaking, I've found that N/As are $6000 cars, 16 valves are $8000 and 951s $10,000. Buy 'em done, or buy 'em in various state of disrepair and fix it, you kind of end up in the same place. If it's cosmetically nice, and particularly if it's a late car then it's a sweet deal. Nice color combo too. Pics?
