2014 New year resolution: To get along with Woody...  Group: Members Posts: 606 Joined: 5-June 13 From: California Member No.: 15,972 Region Association: Southern California  |
So…I am contemplating the next purchase… not in a rush.. the right deal at the right time…. heck…I may even go for a 1974 GTV Alfa Romeo--a whole different story! I love the following three models: All 912 coupe models (Ideally, Red, Silver, light blue, or the weird mustard color) The 1989 930 (turbo) (Ideally Silver, Red, black) The 1989 944 Turbo (S) (Ideally Red, Silver, Yellow) Of course, they are all in different price ranges… so my interest is to get one of the above for fun, daily/weekend driver/ semi restored (I dont want to work on the cars too much aside from regular maintenance or basic work) and I do believe the wife will want to drive it more than the -6. As I know how critical this group is, I would love to hear the pros/cons on the above models. I pretty much have my mind made up, but want to check with the peanut gallery to see if I am in the right path… (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) If you are aware of a car for sale within the above types, I welcome also the lead--PM me or email me. |

Well, the 944 turbo is one of my most favorite cars of all time.. Drive a chipped one with sport suspension.
You either need to know how to work on your own cars or budget 2000 per year for maintenance. (More if big things need to be done the first year... Buy the nicest one you can afford while having another 2k in reserve for emergencies immediately). The 944 turbo is an awesome commuter and long distance runner. 600+ miles to the tank. |
