Sold my Plymouth bought a Porsche

[bordin34]

So I sold my Valiant because it was boring and wanted some more fun that got better fuel mileage. So I bought a 1986 Porsche 944. It is in great condition just had the clutch and timing belt done but needs a water pump. Enjoy the pictures. It had a 2.5L I4 with 150hp, a transaxle, and 50/50 weight distribution. Should be fun

[Chryco Psycho]

Cool should be fun
I almost pulled the trigger on a 928s a few years ago , alum 5l in front & 5 spd transaxle in the rear . chickened out ,figured I would not be able to afford to fix it !!

Let the thrashing begin. I've thought about picking one of these up too, but I have waaaay to many cars already. Enjoy!

No it's not. This is the "Car Guys Discussion" area - which was created specifically for these kinds of threads. If you don't want to see then don't look and if you can't say anything nice then don't post. When you start your own web site you can make the rules. I get a little tired of seeing people run off because a vocal minority disagrees with how they choose to spend their own money.

A friend had a 928 in college.  It was a fun drive!

[Brock Samson]

 The guy across the street inherited his buds' 928GT - it needed part of an an exhaust system - that was Approx. $2K about ten years back.. he sold it and bought a nice used Chevy truck.

Fun cars to drive, up untill you have to pay to fix anything major

Friend of mine used to have a 928 and he beat the snout out of that car for about 3 years. I think he had the oil changed maybe 2 or 3 times. Otherwise he did nothing to it. Once he finnaly broke it ( If I remember right the timing belt or water pump went out of it ( it's been a while )

He sold it for about half what he paid for it and bought a vette and the beatings started all over

[ACUDANUT]

Don't take this wrong, but what if I went on the Porsche web site and posted the opposite..
"sold Porsche,  bought Dodge." :dunno

[Cooter]

As stated on CC.com, Made ALOT of money off those things...Only two times when they are really fun..the day you bought it and the day you sold it. Good luck.

tires?

[mauve66]

i wanted one of those when i went to germany in 84, just couldn't afford the insurance

[bordin34]

The dark stuff around the wheels is that clear plastic rock guard stuff, basically a vinyl sticker. Parts actually aren't too bad the labor is what kills you. Hopefully its a fun car that gets decent mileage.

Nobody else seems to care.

Your not related to G-man are you. 
He is selling his dodges to buy a uro car.

Thats the way I felt about my boat.  Loved it when I bought it, celebrated when I saw the damn thing being pulled out my driveway with someone elses truck.

[BB1]

I like it, grats. 

[Old Moparz]

I would think the Valiant would handle a lot better than the Porsche.

[Charger_Dart]

Looks like a nice car in good condition

I did pull the trigger on an '87 928 S4, the previous owner (a Mopar guy) warned me that every time it had to go to the dealer you can figure on spending a grand...boy was he right.

Very complex car, I describe it as 10 pounds of stuff in a 5-pound bag...every nook and cranny has some sort of electronic do-dad stuffed in it.

Still, a great car...kept until I got Viper fever.

[NHCharger]

Nice looking car. 

[greenpigs]

I think it should be a fun ride, till something breaks.

Never looked into it but are there any engine swaps that are common to this car?

[bordin34]

Great looking 928 I wish I had the money to afford/maintain one.
Engine swaps, I haven't looked into whats popular but if I were to do one it would be an SR20, RB25, or a 2JZ.

[bobs66440]

Cool car.  
Awesome handling with the perfect weight distribution.   , As stated it will be expensive to fix, but most specialty cars are. My advice...get a shop manual and become a Porsche expert. It will be a fun car to drive! For my money, sure beats the hell out of a Valiant...

[flyinlow]

Think a 5.7 Hemi would fit? 

[jb666]

Cool!!


I suddenly have the urge to go out and rent Risky Business!!

[bordin34]

I already downloaded a manual for working on it.

[mauve66]

i saw a LS1 swapped into a 944 at a show once, very cool but the trans and rearend is a weak point, similar to the idea of putting a 408 small block into a Conquest TSI
its your car do what you wnat with it, maybe even paint it mauve if ya have a hankering to.....................

[bobs66440]

Then there's always this option...

I agree let the kid have some fun  take that negative stuff to the porsche site 

[dads_69]

hey cool, I had one that same year, non turbo. It was a fun daily driver and thats about it. Top speed was 120 and that was all it had. It looked odd parked next to my charger collection at the time, but still fun, enjoy.

[John_Kunkel]

The hard-core Porsche guys turn their noses up to the front motor cars, especially the 924 which started life as a Volkswagen.
