Porsche: 944 reliability

I probably can sum it up pretty easily...the 944 is pretty much bulletproof,
but, when things need to be done, or something does break, it is a lot more
expensive than your typical car.

That makes sense... seems that there are a hell of a lot of 944s still
on the road.

I looked at one yesterday, it was a 1987, and it had 87,000 miles on
it, and was going for $5K (asking price). But, when I went to look at
it, I was horrified! First off, it was automatic transmission.
Gag.... , it had an obvious dent - about the size of a silver dollar
(the old eisenhower ones) -- which certainly contradicted the seller's
description of "excellent condition" (and this was a dealer!)... but
none of that was the dealbreaker.

The dealbreaker was that some cheezeball must have owned it before,
because the seats were yellow and black flame pattern seats, and there
was all this totally cheezy work done to it. It looked like some kid
bought it and tried to "pimp" it out, like those cheezeballs who trick
out hyundais and dodge neons. I guess if I ever decide that I want to
be a 19 year old unemployed loser who calls everyone "dog" or "homey,"
I could choose this as my porsche of choice.

Ah well... back to the classifieds.

Try to get hold of a copy of Porsche Panorama (monthly mag of the PCA) -
there are cars listed for sale every month in there. You might find a copy
at your local Porsche dealer or try

www.pca.org.

You have to be a member of PCA to access "The Mart" at their site, but these
cars might not be so tweaked out if they're offered in
Panorama..............

Another place might be
