the 944' n/s are great disposable tubs for the track, but even amateur racing budgets are a drain....
the 944Ts are huge drains over the long haul.....
save up for a 968 or 996 for the street driving....
and never forget....
chicks in thongs smell out the fast cars (and warriors who surf huge macking Pipe) like bears sniff out honey;
keep your eye on the ball..... and in those moments of weakness,
keep this video as your call to arms.....

Ok guys, this thread can now be killed off. THE SEARCH IS NOW OVER! I've found the one! This is the one I will be buying from a friend on Pelican Parts(actually a family member of his):
The description of the car:
1984 Porsche 944
Porsche "Sport" seats
Porsche Red
Tab replaced the timing belt, motor mounts and a gasket when I bought the car.
The prior owner replaced the clutch shortly before he had to sell the car as a result of a job loss.
I think I have fewer than 5,000 on the car from the time I bought it.
NOTE: the 1984 is on-turbo, but it is easier to work on.
Bought car in 2008
The car has always been garage kept and doesn't appear to have any rust.
I am looking for somewhere around $3000 to $3500.
I'm gonna offer $3000 and hopefully the car will be sitting in my driveway by the end of this summer.

I'll believe it when I see it, you've been tugging at our heart strings for oh so long young Karl...I think Dougs951S will have a seizure if this ends up being bunk.
PS... There's 2 951s semi local to me for $3500... Since your budget went up and all...

The only reason I bumped up my budget was for this car and only this car. I've been waiting to here from this guy for awhile and now that it's happened I no longer need to search CL!

It's all good man, so are you waiting for your mom to get back to purchase the car? When do you get to go check it out? What options does it have? Sport seats are a big plus. Got any pics to share?

Bad form to post a PM conversation in a public thread, just FYI. At least without permission from other PM-er.
