Boys Own Garage Posted 11February, 2016 Report Share Posted 11February, 2016 That's only 7500km a year Lee, it's almost a 30 year old car ?I can vouch for this one, belongs to a friend of mine who has good taste in cars but has just taken a job in Mebourne with a company car, so his 944 in Adelaide needs to go - http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/1099268852 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_f Posted 12February, 2016 Report Share Posted 12February, 2016 The S2 is a great car to drive, as is a well sorted turbo. The higher performance / driving enjoyment you'd get out of those models may help justify the maintenance costs over the time you own it.I'll also echo what everyone else has said - buy the best one you can afford. You'd be surprised how quickly the bill can add up if it has been neglected and you can't do the mechanical work yourself.Some really nice Aussie examples do come up on car sales and on this forum so you're in the right place.. I have first hand experience with a Singapore import.. definitely stick to the Australian delivered cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XLR8 Posted 26April, 2016 Report Share Posted 26April, 2016 No serviced in Brisbane, imported back in 89. It's a standard auto 2.5, but has a 924s engine number..... what's that about..?Sound fishy, perhaps someone in Singapore wide bodied a 924s?

kpac Posted 28June, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 28June, 2016 Back in the market if anyone knows of a good one floating around.. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garypgt3 Posted 28June, 2016 Report Share Posted 28June, 2016 Sold my S2 on this forum within 4 hours for the advertised price a few weeks ago. If you believe the overseas mags, 944 prices (especially the later models) are beginning to rise so you may have missed the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted 28June, 2016 Report Share Posted 28June, 2016 Big money for a body-kitted 944 that's not a Turbo or an S2, no matter how pristine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port 911 Posted 28June, 2016 Report Share Posted 28June, 2016 I did say that to the guy that is selling it, but he quoted some sales for S models, so I left him with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 29June, 2016 Report Share Posted 29June, 2016 Big money for a body-kitted 944 that's not a Turbo or an S2, no matter how pristine.What Rob said.A lot of money to spend on a garage queen and have to spend more money on a garage queen, ask me how i know, doing it for the second time over.

High 30's to 40's??? I wish they were at that amount Unless its an Australian Turbo S I don't see a 944 tipping nearly $40k for a while.... But then again things are only valued at what the highest bidder is willing to pay so someone will probably buy it next week and prove me wrong...

Surely that would have covered engine, gearbox, LSD, suspension and some cosmetics/electricals at a minimum. Anyone on the forum purchase? I'm just wondering if the $60k is what has been spent over it's life or all at once, because all at once and then sell would be madness.High 30's to 40's???

Interesting times ahead Tingy. Will the $40's be the norm in 2017?? All that said though, that nice looking turbo sold for $18.5 this week so who can judge the market????
