Sweet 944, nice car, excellent handling, it only has one downside: repairs.

If you are unlucky they can be a massive money pit.

Good colour as well, Porsches often look good in white.

I do believe that is a 951, since it's a turbo.

how much you looking to spend. I have found that subaru's are really expensive for mileage and conditions. I bet you don't need awd besides like 4 days a year. Seriously look at other cars, civics, carollas , etc. Yea there not as "cool" but way better deals out there

if you find one for that price it is probably going to have a lot of miles on it, and/or had the piss beat out of it.

seriously dont have your mind set on a suby.

I test drove it friday, the previous owner worked for a fiat garage and did some magic on the engine.

(I geuss he fitted the esseesse turbo) and it produces 190 hp.

It truly is a pocket rocket, I originally wanted a 500 Abarth but it was just a tad too small, less powerful and the larger wheelbase makes the Punto more stable.

thanks.

it's an 89' (M030 car), and running about 16psi, so it can definitely hang with most modern sports cars too :)

thankfully, it has a solid build and I maintain it very well.

It's my dd, year round, and hasn't failed me ever.

It only has 110km on it too... which is nice.

for some reason i read that as 110k km and thought "holy shit thats less than my 07 gti... the fuck? you lucky bastard haha"

such an amazing car though, i would love to buy, and roll around in an older porsche one similar to yours, or an older model 911 would be so sick, i am jealous

haha it IS pretty low mileage. I figure I can drive it forever (or reasonably for the next 10-15 years) and it'll still be relatively fresh.

and thanks.

What I really like about it is that it is super minimal and visceral, yet it feels so completely modern at the same time (it has an LSD, ABS), it was really ahead of its time, especially compared to the 930.

It's up for $12000 right now and I have a potential offer of $11500 which is the lowest I would go. It has a $1200 sound system and full exhaust too so I put some good money into it.. and haha yeah taj I bought it last summer but I just need something AWD. Y'all are gonna like this WRX I'm looking at if it works out.

OH! okay, yeah thats definitely low. I thought when you said 110km you meant 110k miles on it haha. well in that case, i have been told that 944's have been know to need their valves replaced as the mileage gets in the higher end of 100 000km, which can be quite pricey to replace. dont quote me on it, as i cant guarantee that my source is reliable, but that is just what i have heard.
