Hey you guys, im looking at getting a second 944, but this one is going to be a turbo. I'm going to be talking with the mechanic that has worked on this car for the past two ownerships, but what should i look for when i'm test driving it. All i really know is that its got around 120k miles. I'll try to find out when the belts were last changed as well, but any advice from the pros? thanks - Steven

According to "jeff" over the phone, he said its got an upgraded chip, front suspension, bigger rear tires, strut bar, and thats about all i can remember. The car overall sounded like it was in rather good condition. Maybe jeff is on the forums, he's got 2 944's. In general though, whast should i be looking for. Thanks again- Steven

all your normal 44 stuff plus look for smoke when you get up on boost, strange noises like exhaust leaks and slipping clutches...
