Default 944s2.. um, $4650..

i saw this, and.. it made me want to tell the world about it.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/438151546.html

of course, mechanical defects probably means the engine ate itself..

i also don't like the idea of any car having "compact dice"

oh, and 212,000 miles..

Interior doesn't look horrible. Could be worth it if someone checks it out first.

Seems the dual front airbags are missing, or maybe its just a cosmetic defect.

I think those pictures are misleading. Along with the missing airbags (guess it could be a dash topper and then a swapped steering wheel from an earlier car) the rear seat belts are only laps, the later cars (especially a '91) had 3 pts back there. Caveat Emptor.

The 91's had the spoiler that 968's used after. 91 was also the year it went to 3 point seatbelts in the rear.

Properly maintained they will go a long time without even a head rebuild. 300K easily, doing bay-area commuting miles.

My 88 951 has 3 points. Not sure if there was a difference between the Turbos and the S2s tho.

apparently, it's bad form to post about ebay (or craigslist) listings:
