1986 Porsche 944 Turbo review from North America
"A high performance bargain!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The timing belts have been replaced. Air-conditioner needs to be recharged. C-v joints, brake line, engine mounts, needed replaced. The interior was not up to par. Dash board cracked due to armor-all.
General comments?
This Porsche is the best handling sports car I've owned so far. I just bought this car not too long ago. I feel I was at the right place at the right time. I bought my 944 Turbo for $6,000 even. The miles are good, I have every service record done to it. It has a modified racing chip, plus beefy 968 rims. The front tires are 245/45 17's and 255/45 17's in the rear. I did have a 99 Honda Civic Si. All tricked out, but hell if any of those little rice rockets can keep up to this 944. I believe this is the best car for the money, if you could find a good one! But make sure it's a turbo because personally the plain 944 is just too slow.
