Talking How difficult is a new starter? This guy says this 944 needs a new starter.
I have been looking for a 944 and came across this one. How much does a starter cost? Are they hard to install? Is there anything else I need to do? The guy says "it needs a starter"

That 944 needs a lot more than a starter. If you can't do bodywork yourself (And even if you can I'd think twice) then don't even think about it.

Well aside from the starter, is it me or does part of the roof look like it was cut out?

Starter? I'd say "start-'er on fire".

There ain't no better bargain than a cheap Porsche!

You could make millions butying them cheap, fixing them up, and flipping these things

There's nothing on that car that a good car crusher couldn't fix.

Looks like it's been flipped one too many times as it is!!!

Hey and before you put down 700 big ones... be sure the wheels have the right offset... do a search!
