Default Who was looking for a "beater" 944?

I have a 207k mile, '89 944S. Runs good. Decent shape. Cheap.

'89 S??? from my understanding it was only made from 87-88. BTW, I have an '88 S. Did you mean S2?

It's a 2.5L 16V S

It has the standard 944 body, not the S2/turbo body.

I could have the year wrong though.....

The car is metallic grey with a black/bone two tone interior.

the body is the same as an n/a, the only difference is the 16 venteiler (sp?) badge.

I don't know the work history on the car. We just took it in on trade, although we know the person who traded it in.

The car runs good. The paint is a little faded in places. No dents. Interior is a 6 out of 10. The dash has lots of cracks in it (it's got one of those carpeted dash pads). Other than the dash, the interior is OK (not bad, not nice).

I don't know, at this point, a lot of details on it. But hey.... it's a 16V good running, decent looking car. It's a good deal at that price.

I'd love to try a lightweight HPDE type car with an S, since you can probably pull some nice NA hp out of the 16 v motor (read: $$$)
Seems like this car is a perfect candidate, but I have my fill of 944's with just this one.
Tony, let me know if you decide to part that motor out. Also, I got the maf in, and should have the SMT in next weekend, I'll call you up again about tuning options.

Wow, that is pretty cheap for an S.
Even if it needs timing belt/water pump, and the other maintenance items, it's still a cheap S
