I got my first and second 944 around 15 and sold the second one several months later when I was 16 to buy a turbo.

I'm depressed now. Everyone over 40 gets lumped into "old"? :-)

There's a bit of a difference between buying one now when your young compared to buying one early in your life when the 951 when was still pretty new.

I bought my first 944 turbo in the early '90s when I was 29. It was an '89 S with 12,000 miles for $32,000.
