I"ll admit I'm jaded because I'm cab guy, but managing a Porsche dealer for a number of years i can tell you whenever a 944 came in for service the service manager knew he was going to have a big bonus month. They are however beautiful machines!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16271787252339572679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090426965177502805.post-76539806067110283332009-11-13T21:39:00.103-05:002009-11-13T21:39:00.103-05:00Guys,

I'm glad to hear that there are others who also have a special place in their hearts for the 944.<br /><br />Skip,<br />No, that was a 928 in "Risky Business." From what I understand, the 928 was actually on-par with, or could even outperform a 911, but to me they are pretty awful looking.triphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016509250780872972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090426965177502805.post-46389513842127269282009-11-13T21:24:53.859-05:002009-11-13T21:24:53.859-05:00Is this the same Porsche from Risky Business?Is this the same Porsche from Risky Business?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00774634652479858539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090426965177502805.post-67065161234403153462009-11-13T16:37:20.872-05:002009-11-13T16:37:20.872-05:00The 944 is a great car to buy right now, but buy i...The 944 is a great car to buy right now, but buy it right. Make sure you get one in good condition cosmetically. It's easier to fix mechanicals than to get into fixing paint and interior bits and pieces. For less than $7,000, you can find one in this condition.<br /><br />I'm a 911 guy (on my second), but I do like the 944s as well. I saw a bunch of them back when gas hit $4.00 a gallon. I think everyone was parking their SUVs and driving their gas-sipping sports cars.<br /><br />Check pca.org in the various markets nearby for a well taken care of version. I would avoid the turbo unless you bank some extra repair money. Then, don't get into a drag race with a Civic SI or a Subaru......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090426965177502805.post-52903068995480186852009-11-13T08:02:34.177-05:002009-11-13T08:02:34.177-05:00I miss my '89 - brilliant ride/handling balanc...I miss my '89 - brilliant ride/handling balance - practical enough too with the hatch and decent gas mileage. Too bad about the common oil leaks and dodgy HVAC though - it was not the easiest car to live with after 100k miles.npmaslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334215083366416702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3090426965177502805.post-89460046016232892482009-11-13T00:26:49.344-05:002009-11-13T00:26:49.344-05:00A man after my own heart....and garage.
