New To The Porsche Name
Hey guys, i currently own a 1990 Jetta Flair 2, also a 1980 320i, and am now looking at a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. Totally new to the porsche scene and i'm wondering about pricing and such, what to look for in a good one. Its at the VW dealer close to my place and they are Asking 15k Canadian. I figure he will go lower if i pay cash up front. It has about 130km on it. Its white with black leather interior. Looks supspiciosly beautiful to be for sale lol. I wouldn't sell it if i owned it. Quick tips on what to check out and such would be great. thanks guys

you could potentially go a black box testing approach - put it on a dyno and log boost, a/f, torque & hp. Then come back here and post the results.

130km is about 81000, but even with that mileage, ~$13000 usd is still quite a bit for an '86. That being said, if the car is damn near perfect, I think that's not too bad of a dealer price

for that price, i would buy the eurospec 951 for sale by a rennlister for $9500 canadian. even with delivery/transport fees (if needed), it will still be cheaper;

It better be absolutely MINT! I recently bought an 87 turbo w/ 108,000 km from a dealer in calgary for 15k. It wasn't the cheapest and it wasn't the most expensive. He also had an 88 turbo w/160,000 for 14k, I passed on that one as it had had a paint job in it's history and higher milage. The dealer in Calgary had the car for about 18 months and had lowered the price significantly to move it. I also notice the 88 he had also dropped another 1,000 dollars after I bought mine! Damn!maybye he would have dropped a thousand for me!
Good luck and happy hunting!
