At 10K its a steal, but I wonder what the reserve is.
My only real issue with buying a car like this is,
a) if you buy it for just show, you really cant drive it because 1/2 the value is in the collector-type range of the low mileage.
b) if you plan to drive it, you are spending big bucks for a car that really isnt very fast to begin with, espec. compared to all the cheap, fast alternatives. why not just spend $4500 in an 86 944 and get the same **** factor.
So what would you really do with a car like this? I think unless you were looking to add it to a collection of vintage garage queens Im not sure it has a much inherent value as it seems.

I think the three or four 944 collectors in the world already have their full collection.
If one gets it for 10k and makes it a daily driver, uses it for three years and sells it for 7k with 40k on it. cost 3k depreciation, and 3k maintenance. thats 6k for 36 months or 166 a month. about what i am paying for the GTO.

Yeah but I dont think it sells for 10K though. Might be wrong on that. Worth watching.

Anyone else think about the problems that come from such a low mileage car? It's great if you only intend to show the car and win concours or something like that, but if one were to start driving it on a regular basis, you'll start having issues since everything is original and not been used in 20 years.

I dont remember the figure offhand but a buddy of mine sold his 1,900 mile 84 944 for $16-18K about 4-5yrs ago. I think it had a podium finish at PCA Parade.
