Willing to trade?
I know this is going to be a long shot but I thought I would try anyways. I am hoping to find someone on here that have a 944 turbo, maybe a second one they don't use much. And trade me for my reliable 87' 944na with only 70k on the clock! I would be trading the car plus some cash.
Now I would just sell the car, but its the only car I have and with school starting up here in a couple of weeks I am really going to need it. So this is the only way I could think of that would allow me to upgrade tothe turbo model.
Oh and I can put up pics and vin# if anyone is intersted.
Commence laughter...

Hey, there's nothing funny about wanting a turbo. Well, I guess it's funny how everyone and their mother wants to upgrade from a 944 to a turbo, but anyways. Where are you located? You should update your user profile to show your location. If anyone does have a turbo for sale you'd be better off seeing each others' cars in person before swapping.
There are a lot of 944 NAs in the market right now, and few turbos, so don't expect this to be easy. If you don't mind, I'd suggest waiting a while for the 944 market to get a little less flooded. Check ebay and craigslist.
Good luck!

No one should be laughing as it's a resonable request. If I was in the market to keep a Porsche in the garage I might be interested myself. As it is I have other "needs" I want to go for.

Long as the end sum of the cash plus the value of the car equals the value of the 951 - there is nothing funny/bad about it. Now finding someone willing to part with their 951 and go to a 944 - that will be a challenge. Personally I love my little NA that could, but I too would like a turbo at some point........

There is little chance your going to find someone with a 951 looking to get a 944 instead. It usually is a one way road, people buying 944s then wanting to upgrade to a 951.
Your best chance would be to sell your car, and look for the 951 at the same time. Once you have a solid offer on the 944 sell it, and get a 951 at the same time.

PM sent - might be willing to entertain this idea if your 944 is EXTREMELY nice. I'm getting awfully sick of wrenching on my turbo and was considering a Boxster but could probably be talked into a 944 if everything works, it's low mileage, well-maintained and damn near perfect. I have a stock '86 951 with a few issues.
