88mph Posted 12July, 2016 Report Share Posted 12July, 2016 (edited) Only 6 944's left on carsales, 3 968's and 4 924's, haven't looked on ebay or Gumtree.Is that low or high? What's the historical norm? Reason I ask is that I just bought a 944 earlier today in Adelaide. White 83 manual, was listed on gumtree. After watching the price of the 911 jump overnight, then trying to get a 260z and also watching those jump in price overnight, I thought the 944 represented pretty good value - for my tiny budget anyway! I didn't want to hang about and watch these jump out of my price range too (but considering I bought one they'll probably drop!!).I figure they're a pretty fun little car? It's not perfect but it seems pretty solid. I'm pretty happy with it. Edited 12July, 2016 by 88mph Port 911, LeeM and ANF 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 12July, 2016 Report Share Posted 12July, 2016 (edited) Congrats mate lots of fun ahead for you.When I started looking quite a few years ago you could have whatever you wanted there was several of every model, base, S, S2, turbo.They are a solid and well built car and a bucket load of fun, got some pics for us?

I would have loved a turbo too but they're outside my range unfortunately. I'm pretty stoked and can't wait until it's trucked back to Perth!

P-Kay Posted 13July, 2016 Report Share Posted 13July, 2016 anyone?go buy it before I do!!Seriously though, there were previous photos that showed more of the drivers door trim that looked so-so. Cosmetic really and for that price, hey...what do you expect?!Hop on a plane and if you like what you see, hand over the folding stuff, pay for the VicRoads permit and enjoy the 8 odd hour drive back home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port 911 Posted 13July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 13July, 2016 Maybe that it has been sitting in a shipping container for a few years has put some people of.anyone?http://www.tradeuniquecars.com.au/detail/porsche-944-365316I found this one a little time back, & got some onfo on it but then found the one I purchased.A brief history.The car was delivered new in Adelaide 20/12/85.In 1987 new owner, Darwin NT.The trail disappears until about 2000 when purchased by a mate of minewho was working in Perth.He moved to Dubai shortly after wards and garaged the car.Robert died in 2011 and left me the car in his will.I garaged the car again, unregistered, and with the help of a mechanicgave the car a full service, all belts and timing belt kit etc.It is mechanically very sound, no smoke, no oil use, or unusual noisesother than an intermittent rattle from a suspect cam follower.Sorry I do not have documented service records for much of its lifebut can assume only that it has been well looked after given itscurrent condition.Re mechanics. I've been a car enthusiast all my life and withguidance from a Ford senior technician mate have done all work myself.A word of warning. Avoid Porsche dealers at all costs.They charge 2 or3 times normal cost. the cars are reasonably simple and all you needis a manual, a supply of parts and a good mechanic and you will save alot of money.I buy parts from 'Aporscheapart', in Melbourne or Pelican Parts (USA) on line.No probs with either.RegardsThe guy sent me a heap of photo's I can email you if you what, just PM an email address for me to send them to.

Take this very good advice, not that complex and you don't have to be a mechanic to do some of the jobs on these cars.If you have a job your not sure about get on this forum and ask how, some very knowledgeable people on here and i'm sure someone will know.

PomBstard Posted 18July, 2016 Report Share Posted 18July, 2016 I'm sure its meant to go in the International thread, but that's usually clogged with 911/930 stuff, so I'll put it here. Might be a good spot for someone experienced in bringing cars in from overseas - I don't have the time to find my way through right now - but, other than the colour, this could be a good use of $17,500 plus shipping...http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-cars-bakkies/parow/1988-porsche-944t-for-sale/1001698405810910954220209Pre-89? Check.RHD? Check944 Turbo? CheckDesirable colour? Er, probably not...Seriously, if someone experienced wants to bring it in, I might be interested in helping you make a few $$...
