Description
The time has come. I'm moving on. Owned this 1987 944 Turbo since August 2020, previous owner had it in LA. Lots of work done on it during my 4+ years with it. New timing belt, water pump and coolant system - all done in 2020, suspension work in 2021, new starter and battery in 2024. Odometer stopped but was immediately fixed. Full records, as well as a fat binder of records from previous owners, is available. Interior shows signs of wear and the temperature control on the climate unit does...
Our Take:
- The 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo is a gem from the 80s sports car lineup. Known for its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and a potent turbocharged inline-four engine, it pushed the boundaries of performance for its time. In an era dominated by flashy exteriors, the 944 Turbo stood out with its balanced design and precise handling.
- With 169,000 miles on the odometer, this vehicle has been well-traveled. While the mileage is high, the comprehensive maintenance records add a layer of trust—sort of like finding an old diary that tells you all its secrets. The detailed service history could be quite appealing to those who appreciate the diligent upkeep of classic rides.
- The manual transmission is a bonus for driving purists. There’s something uniquely satisfying about shifting gears yourself, especially in a vehicle renowned for its nimble driving dynamics. The 944 Turbo offered a driving experience that was both visceral and engaging, a quality that still resonates with enthusiasts today.
- It's got a few quirks—think of them as part of its character. While the interior shows wear and the climate control needs some love, those imperfections add to its charm. After all, finding a classic car without any age marks is like trying to spot a unicorn at a car show.
