Purchased my 86 n/a new at a Porsche dealership in Mobile, Alabama. Anybody out there remember Joe Coker Imports?? I wanted to "spec" out my car; not buy any 944 off the lot. I ordered the coupe (no sunroof). Only 2 options I wanted were the Graphite Metallic Paint and cruise control. Lots of options back then to choose from......drives up the total cost real fast. When I ordered my car in Nov 85, the base price was $23,900. When the car arrived to the dealer in Mar 86; Porsche had a price increase. The dealer maintained the $23,900 base + the cost of the 2 options.

Back in the 1980's , a lot of 944 buyers would of purchased new what the Porsche dealer had on the lot. Many 944's on the dealers lot had many options. When I was shopping for my 944; I wasn't in any rush and ordered one with the options I wanted. I didn't think the option cost for the sunroof was worth it. Also, I knew I was going to put a customize stereo system in; so I didn't order the radio.
Here's my original invoice. $32,000 for a base, base 944! That's $57,000 inflation adjusted to 2009 using the CPI. That's Boxster/Cayman money. I loves my 944, but it's no Cayman.
