We'll let that kick off the thread.

I'm gonna do my sweep of BMWs and a few Porsches in and out.
 
1984 Porsche 944!

The thing I can't get over, is that this is basically a Celica with a fucked up transmission design. But I still think it's sexy as hell.
 
All of these cars have too many cons. You know what it's like getting parts for these things ?

Make me crave an M3 at Service 2.
 
I'd steer away from the 944. My dad and bro had one with low miles. They put a bunch of money into it and it wasn't that great when it ran.


I'd go for the 86 supra.
 
You don't want a 944 for a 'driver' unless you're fairly proficient with their electrical systems. Parts for those can be hard to get as well, when they're actually used as a 'driver' in an area that the air conditioning gets used relatively often, the A/C systems usually start having a good bit of problems, and on top of the electrical bugs being a pain to track down parts can get expensive and hard-to-find.

Ideal 944 driver would be a SBC swap with a Painless or Rebel harness and Vintage Air.
 
Thanks, what I kinda figured. I was up all night until passing out at my keyboard - I think the BMW is prolly the smartest purchase to be right now.

It used to be that Civics were, but a good civic will actually cost you some fuckin coin these days. And are rarer than finding a Jalpa.
 
i say the 86.. the 944 is a barrel of problems, my brother had one.. only way i would consider a 944 is if it was the Turbo model
 
Yeah, I've never really been impressed by the 944 outside of it's appearance and seating position. As seating goes, it's perfect. Well, a 911 is perfect but I can't go that high in the budget.

The 928 makes my heart race too ... But talk about a rolling pill of issues.
 
I got a loan approval today - But apparently I have to stick with 2004 or newer.

Blech.

So if it's an older one, I'm gonna have to cash out at about $3000 and in about 3 weeks. We'll see how it works out.
 
even 2004 is pretty far back. most 'used car loans' are for 8 year or newer from when i was pricing them for my truck. i got denied a bunch of times for 'age of vehicle'.
 
I'm calling tomorrow on a 325CI in Fairfield. If that call goes well, I'll be picking it up tomorrow afternoon.

But I'll be stuck in CT with two cars.
