200,000 Miles in a Porsche 944 Turbo S: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly

[@YungJosh50]

Compare 14:28 to 15:04. Very nice.

[@oelverlust8250]

lol did he edit in the same segment twice? :D

[@IfCarsCouldTalk]

Joshua C. Yes had a 15hr work day and was editing till 11pm. Messed that part up 😥

[@YungJosh50]

Lol it happens! Like an 1980s glitch.

Very entertaining.....very educational. I’m a 64 year old retired Navy Officer and retired federal law enforcement officer. When I turned 50 and made O-6 -- I bought a very low mileage 1990 944 cabriolet. For anyone considering these...Dyllon is “right on”.......the paperwork records are worth gold. Maintenance is paramount. If you are not afraid of getting a little dirty by turning a wrench.....help is everywhere online on KZbin and forums. Important....before buying, get a PPI.....BUT.....don’t expect modern day Porsche dealers / mechanics to know these cars well enough to be able to perform that PPI accurately. I’ve had mine up and down the east coast....it always receives positive comments.....and the handling makes getting off the Interstate a joy......bringing “smiles with the miles”!!! Again, Dyllon, Bravo-Zulu on this video, job well done on representing this model Porsche so accurately!

[@jes9856]

Cool, Our Silver Rose also has 200,000 miles but a full service history. It was fully repainted in the correct colour last year so looks like a time warp. We got it at just the right time as here in UK they have gone up considerably in value. People seem to have realised the gem in hiding. Great video.

[@IfCarsCouldTalk]

Niki Barret Thanks that’s awesome!

[@dylanriley2707]

What a great vid, thanks so much for the share. I miss my 944 S2 so much!

[@guyfrawley9662]

Gees Dyllon, you are such a burk, bring a huge smile to my face every time i watch you videos! I remember a 911 targa way back when you were still trying to talk, that too was a classic. But that then was when we were cats in another life. Go well, keep on the great videos.

[@IfCarsCouldTalk]

Thanks Guy!

[@platinmetallic3797]

The interior is just love.

[@IsaacMirandaTRO]

the 80s segment is BOSS good work

[@SuperEmlo]

It’s cayman of 80s?

[@The_Schimpanski]

You are so lucky about the rims! They are unique to the 'turbo S', the later 'Design 90' look only similar. Your design is the same as on the ultra rare 928 CS (Clubsport). I also love your interior!

[@IfCarsCouldTalk]

tatilly1 Thanks! We are very lucky to have the car 🚗

[@Dosalt]

930 turbo was a widowmaker. Even test driving one gave me chills. I would dare someone to push one to the limit. 944 turbo S is much faster in the track

[@hl9h]

Waou 200000miles , mine has 128000. It s a very good car which gives a lot of driving pleasure.

[@86BBUB]

I had an '89 for many years. Loved it on the track and highway but a bit of a dog around town.

[@lee2217]

The turbo s is special But the silver rose aswell

[@billymania11]

It's a nice older car. Not my cup of tea as I like modern performance cars and the associated amenities. I'm glad though that folks like yourself are preserving these old cars.

[@jamesjeremyscher1665]

Hey, what was the song at 18:49? sounded like a nice bossa nova song

[@erichenry1472]

What's with the random change dropping sound?

[@ralleyquattro]

Can you please share the source for the fabric, I have one as well and would love to recover my seats. Thank you!

[@IfCarsCouldTalk]

ralleyquattro Wow nice to meet another owner. Please dm me on Insta as a reminder for me I’m away for car week

[@nomoreautomatics9322]

Nice ride! I'm glad to see you driving it. :) Check eBay (or wherever) for this: "944 coverlay dash cover" It's not a carpet but thin, super strong polymer. I used it on a different make and model and it was an awesome upgrade for the money. Can't even tell it's there. Not sure if you could paint it to match but I'm sure you'd figure something out. Anyway, keep putting miles on that car!

[@IfCarsCouldTalk]

NoMoreAutomatics Great idea I saw something like that online. I’ll check it out!

[@nomoreautomatics9322]

@@IfCarsCouldTalk Nice. You've got a very unique 944. If it were mine, I'd touch up those couple areas showing wear and drive it another 200k. Stay classy.

[@lifestyle5405]

Bro i had one in 2013... and it was CHEAP!!! I SOLD IT ... and right away regret it. But i moved to the states and back then i did not know i could ship it here as my Property. So well import it.

[@thebrock12]

Awesome I love the cars keep up the good work

[@Stevieboy130664]

It is between D90s and sewer covers which Porsche wheel styles I like least.

[@robbelliii]

Pop ups aren’t just an 80s thing. My 1994 968 has them.

[@MitchGrooms]

Great video, great car, I have a car channel here too, but yours is incredible..great editing..

[@IfCarsCouldTalk]

Mitch Grooms Thanks 🙏

[@cyberrednec]

That's a nice looking car tbh

[@wimgroffils720]

The S doesn’t have a sunroof this is a “regula” Turbo

[@oelverlust8250]

The guy from Germany that sold you the new interior cloth wouldn't by any chance be seated In Gummersbach, Germany? I know a guy from there who definitely doesn't speak english and also is one of the only sellers for original Porsche interior cloth.

[@Manute951]

Do you know if I can contact him? I'd like a new interior original style

[@williamchow1624]

You should own a battery charger.

[@sanemorisaito]

I own a 944 S2 1989 Version, I'm not sure they were on sale in the US

[@MarkGelderland]

It's a great car

[@footballfanatic5060]

Lol indentation in hub cap

[@D4rkS4v4nt]

The Turbo S isn't that special, at the end of production 90-92 Porsche made all 944 Turbos 250BHP with the larger turbo, LSD and M030 parts plus a bridge spoiler which is much nicer than the rubber spoiler. Also the interior and paint colour of the Silver Rose is a bit marmite - you either like it or hate it. Not sure when they ceased sales in the USA but they continued production in Europe right up to 91/92. My 90 Turbo is currently rocking 205k miles - they are great cars I hope you enjoy yours for many more years to come!

[@med8tor1]

'90's turbo? Is that European? Cause '89 is the last 944 turbo in the US which is what I have. And all '89's are S.

[@lanceboyle4255]

med8tor1 In Canada, the Turbo was available until 1991. The 90 & 91’s were mechanically identical to the Turbo S but with a different rear spoiler. The S2 kept the old style spoiler.

[@TopCat110h]

Nice video. I’m the original owner of a 1986 944 Turbo. (Alpine White with burgundy interior) Love this car but only drive it a couple times a year now. As of today, she has 367,432 miles on it. Had a head job at about 225,000 due to timing belt break. Ouch! Bent four valves. $$$ moral to that story, change your timing belts every 60k miles.

[@sosco22]

Music sucks
