hello, I saw that ad on Craigslist and was curious. I don't know porsches much at all but have been looking for a very cool daily driver. There wasn't a lot of info on the ad other than the build which looks racy but since I am pretty clueless, was wondering what your take on that car is. I don't have a convenient place to work on a car but am willing to do minor maintenance. Do you think this car is too hardcore for daily use? I asked the seller but didn't get a reply.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

If you haven't ever owned a 944 turbo then this prob isn't the right car for you! Although if you have had a 944 turbo then this is what you want a 3 liter has much more bottom end tq and response than a 2.5. Big difference in street able power. very nice looking car in glacier blue however it is a modified Porsche so if your a fussy individual you will never be happy with this car as in all modified cars.

My last car had a hard suspension and and was murder on these Oakland roads, so I guess I am looking for something that could soak up the potholes a little better, be fun, and be a good highway cruiser as well. Also the 944/951 look really cool to me. One of these days I am aiming to get some hpde and track time but it would be few and far between. Mostly looking for a fun all around good car with a healthy dose of coolness.
Thanks again

The suspension is mostly stock I believe the koni struts and stock sport springs give it just a tiny bump in handling and longevity over the very mild Sachs non sport suspension. It's lowered just a touch but not aggressive at all so good street suspension.
nice wheels and tire combo, lsd turbo trans gives you great traction especially for higher ho cars driven aggressively stops wheel spin and gives better cornering feel.
The year 1989 very late model 944 the color and modified 3 liter turbo option really are all huge pluses over any other turbo. I really can't believe he hasn't had more interest as he has been trying to sell on and off for 6 months and only had 1 person come look. A lot of Internet tire kickers but I guess the 944 is a bit of a older car that very few people are looking for! Good luck and if you want to come look at it and take a test drive the owner Scott is very nice and wouldn't mind at all to schedule a time with you!

Looks like a great car/build. It just needs a new owner who doesn't live in CA.

Went an and saw the car this morning. Seems like a great car for someone with some Porsche experience and the desire to give it a little love. I would say it is beyond my scope to stable such a horse. Glad it is front engined, otherwise it may have done a wheelie when boost kicked in.
Scott is a great guy who knows his stuff, I hope he finds a buyer.

Maybe to you. However there is a lot of work in that car on a good 89 shell. You just want it and want to push him to drop the price for you. I know your reaper ways. I wish I saved my $ and just bought it, instead I pieced mine together (still not done) at four times the cost. With some items supplied from you, thank you for those by the way,
