On E-bay. One of those rarities you hardly ever see up for sale. Could be interesting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellowsleep[1].gif) This guy was at the Dunkel Show last year and was really pissed because he didn't get any respect. They made him park with the unremarkable Porsches in the field. Excellence had an feature article on a GTS, in the midwest, I think. It was the pinnacle for 944's. 944's have lots of wheels usable on 914's. A nice 944 will be rare in the future. Better get one while you can. Saw a couple of them at Thunderhill, they were fast and highly simplified. I had a chance to race one at Riverside, a Porsche driving school, very will balanced and fun to drive. I think the maintenance costs compared to residiual value is what hurt them the most. A Porsche is a Porsche and is expensive to maintain, even if it is cheap to buy. Hell, my Jetta costs more to maintain than my C class Mercedes did. At 72k, it now needs $1700 worth of timing belt water pump and crank position sensor. Don't get me started.

You DO know that this topic is a discussion of a 924 derivitive, right?
