I got a second job today. I'm determined to have a 951 by the fall. I'll be workin the day as a Barista (coffee guy) and by night, VALET MAN! so, with 2 incomes, one at $9.00 an hour, and the other at somewhere around $8.00 an hour and both with tips (one better than the other) I should either have the money to pay my parents back for the scholarship that's balancing on the fence right now, OR a shiney new 951! I'm excited.
Here is a pic of my DREAM 951. test drove this one. had all records, tan interiour, NO DASH CRACKS, freshly rebuilt engine (timing belt issue) and 106,000 chassis miles, with about 1,000 engine miles. OMG, if I had the $10,000.00 he was asking for it, I'da bought it in a heartbeat. it was gorgeous.

Looks like a beautiful car!
Why don't you sell your 944, use the money as down payment, and the secure financing for the balance. So, you'd probably be financing $5,000? Would be a cheap payment and really do well for you to build credit (at least that's what you can tell your parents).
But, the big question is WILL you be able to obtain financing, ESPECIALLY on a 1987 vintage car. Rate will be high at best. But, it's probably doable if you put about 1/2 down.

Hey Porschephile... keep at it man!
My goal from now on is to keep up with the maintenance/repair/mods I will be doing in the future... I won't be paying off the car for another couple years. Hey! I have an idea... has anyone looked into using student loans? They have wonderful rates!
Now if I can only keep myself from buying a beater NA or 928 to work on and getting disowned...

I think one german rennwagon is enough!
For a beater, get something like mine... aka "Ski Bitch"...
1987 Jeep Cherokee Laredo 4x4 (5 speed).
It now has 202K miles on it (of course, it also has a bad head gasket too), but it has been trouble free and very low maintenance costs (until now). Murican is the way to go for a beater!

...I was using a very loose definition of "beater" there, sorry

Well, I was plannin on usin the 951 as a weekend warrior, and the 924S as a daily driver for that 25 mile treck to work each direction, and that 30 mile treck to home each direction...
I've got a set of snows and a ski rack for the 924S so I've got my winter "beater" even though it is anything but...
and as for that beautiful example posted above, it sold a while ago. I couldn't get financing at the time, but I was itchin so bad. that's my standard for what I wanna buy.
Thanks for the support all. you guys rule!

I'm so close to getting one... ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
All it comes down to now is selling my RX-7, and finding the right 951 with a nice amount of records to back it up. Than I order my vitesse stage 3 kit
and spin those tires all day long.
