I'm not entirely sure why I went to look at this car. It was on CL and the guy was asking $1,200. The body is in good shape with no damage but it was subjected to a bad color change and the interior is pretty nasty. I was walking away when I told the guy I didn't need ANOTHER project car but I'll give you $500 for it. I was shocked when he said OK. Now what??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing the 944 at all. I really like them, the styling, the easy handling etc. I've owned a few and liked each one very much. Just saying around the PNW anyway, they have tanked so badly in value you can almost get rough condition/running examples for under $500 or nice non-running examples for $500. Sort of pick your poison.
I believe this is the bottom for 944's. As thier numbers decline and parts cars get crushed for scrap, thier values will being to increase over the years and I'll be one of those guys that said "Yeah, I use to have the coolest 944 once...." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE(Root_Werks @ Nov 26 2008, 08:32 AM)  you can almost get rough condition/running examples for under $500 or nice non-running examples for $500. So, purchase one of each and get one good one with lots of spare parts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
