Service intergal is the belt replacement @45K miles or 8 years of age.. The inital belt construction used on the early production years was a mere 30K miles for its replacement.. The early belt's heat - cool cycles were the concern back in the day.. Fond memories that '87 944 coupe of ours . . .

Very undervalued Porche but now that they're over 30 yrs. old, many are starting to find out these are gems. There are many parts available, many repair shops that know how too work on them and a large online support from owners. I've hardly had issues finding parts and repairing stuff on mine. Engine overhauls and transmission clutch repairs are the things that can get pricey but these cars are drivers, very reliable. I have a +200k mile 1991 944S2 with the 3.0L.

They're not too bad to be honest. The engineering that went into them was not stupidly complex but they were very well built. I've nearly finished restoring a 1990 S2 - I got a bit lucky in the state of the rust in the rear end, but the bulk of the car just unbolted nicely and has been WAY simpler to sort out than other cars I've had. The expensive job is a clutch, but these last very well.

People seem to forget that the 944 platform was tested at the crucible of Lemans after it's mundane beginnings. A properly tuned 944 is a track weapon. Think about this, out of a gigantic field of cars the 924 GTS race cars finished 12th overall at Lemans, not in their class, but overall against GT1, GT2, GT3, LMP, Prototypes! Astonishing. The 944 platform is criminally underated and that's now changing with their value beginning to rocket for well kept examples. About time! Respect!

I just inherited my father-in-law’s 1983 Porsche 944. Beautiful original but I couldn’t find much in the way of service records, so before I drive it too much, it’s at the independent Porsche mechanic for timing belt, water pump, all front engine seals and alternator. Not too expensive…about $2300, which included full safety check. Here I go… a life of 944 ownership to keep my father-in-law’s dream alive. And of course, finding every video about this car👍

I’ve got an 87 944 turbo - California version. Bought in 1991 when free trade was coming in and the duty dropped from 16% to less. It had 17K miles on it and now has 74K miles on it. It was parked in the garage and covered for 13 years. It has the dual air bags - difference from the Canadian model. I’ve spent some money in maintenance, and from my experience, it’s worth it. I find that some parts are no longer available and have to get after market items or refurbished (with exchange). But everything you mentioned in you video is accurate except that I can put kids in the back seat. Lol. Btw, in the 90s, I had my lady friends in the back seat with my buddy up front - so you can fit adult ladies (less than 5’ 10”) in back. This car is a pleasure to drive. An incident when I went through a drive through. I got a “Wow!” for my car even though I don’t have drink holders. That’s the only thing I miss having compared to modern cars. Keep up with the great videos. Living in Vancouver, BC as 2nd owner of this car.

I think you're a bit premature on your conclusion to tell people not to get left out, and you're also a few years late on catching the rising value of these cars. Sure, they will continue to gain in value, but I think the adjustments to the market have been made. The reason I say you are premature is because you haven't factored in the cost of your first repair or scheduled maintenance, and it will be costly whether you do the work yourself or not. Aftermarket support isn't as great as other brands and owners are usually held hostage by OEM and dealer markups. The reason these cars sit unsold on craigslist and marketplace is because the cost of getting a basketcase up and running will far exceed its value. You'll have to buy 2 or 3 parts cars to get all the parts you want for a complete one, and still end up paying those dealer markups for consumables. In the end, you can get the same or similar experience from any of the japanese sports cars from the late 80s and early 90s for about the same price and a lot fewer headaches when it comes to repairs and finding parts.

I have a '91 944 turbo cab. My brother has a '96 300zx convert. Regular maintenance (timing belt, tune up etc) is far more expensive on the 300zx. The only thing that would be more on the Porsche is a clutch. The Porsche will require far less maintenance since it is built so much better. I admit some parts on the Porsche can get expensive (radiator overflow tank $400). All Z parts come from one or two companies. The 944 has many different venders and aftermarket products for it. The Porsche is a far better car then a Z. If you compare it to a Z of the same era it is three times the car a 300zx turbo from '89 is (I have had 10 Z cars from 240 to 300 turbo so I know what I am talking about) In many respects a 944t is a far better car then a 911.

It is an entirely different driving experience with the motor behind you whether it's a VW Bug or a Bugatti Veyron and the 944 just doesn't capture that. I've driven both, I also own an Rx7 and MR2. I switch between them regularly, both well balanced vehicles but a trip to the grocery store is more exciting in the MR2.

"Aftermarket support isn't as great as other brands and owners are usually held hostage by OEM and dealer markups" and "You'll have to buy 2 or 3 parts cars to get all the parts you want for a complete one". Have you experienced either of these scenarios yourself? Because I haven't experienced either of those scenarios while taking care of long-neglected maintenance by POs on my 944. OEM prices are high, but this is a Porsche. And I haven't come across anything that holds me hostage to the parts counter at the dealer. A lot of parts that wear out or break easy are easy to come by in the aftermarket or from dismantlers, of which there are numerous who price fairly, ship quickly and stand behind the products (yep,, even though what they are selling is 30-39 years old). It's true, getting a basketcase up and running 10-20 years ago, would exceed the value. That's just not the case anymore. Many people are pulling cars that haven't been driven in decades out of garages, and bringing them back to life. It'll costs thousands, but what car wouldn't if it sat that long. Even then, for most, it's a labor of love, and not trying to make a buck. 80's Japanese cars are great cars and it's good to see people keeping them alive. If I had the garage space, I'd gladly park any Z-car from that era next to my 944. EDIT: Skip the Z-car, I want my '91 SE-R back! Which when new was parked next to my dad's '86 944. Two awesome cars.

Words to the wise, if you want a dream 80's super car then be ready to shell out some coins, and find a real mechanic for it. Yes you can fix things youself, but you will need a mechanic. Yes the 80's put out some of the most exotic rides of all time. They were laughed at in the 90's, but the ones who own a well maintained one are laughing now. The 911 is a $30,000 dollar ride, why? Because you will have to spend that much to get it right. The 944 is a $10,000 dollar car and you will need to spend that much to get it running correctly. The 951 is just a shade more. How do I know? I have owened a couple. I have a 951 in the garage and its awesome. Quick run down of prices. You have to do this or else! 1. Timing belt and Balance shaft belts, $1200 + replacement, plus 1000 mi retension. You must do this every 30,000 miles and get your book stamped by a certified mechanic. If not done correctly the value will drop. 2. with the belts, you will need to do a water pump, its wise to do it so, do it..Clutch for a 951 will run ya $2,500 You have to replace it, if its original then its a safe bet that the rubber vibration dampeners will be toast. Motor mounts go, cv joints on the trans axel, oil leaks is common, and plan on replacing the alternator, or you will fry the DEE brain in your ride. Good luck!

I am stuck deciding between the 944 turbo or the naturall aspirated one. For me important thing is the buying price, reliability and maintenance cost, as the car itself is pleausre to drive regardless of the power output. But please help me out as you own both variants.

Turbo will never make due to the 80’s turbo tech. I had a 968 which I liked but the maintained experience was a bitch even it was NA. I WOULDN’T TOUCH THE TURBO WITH A 20 FT POLE. 944 s or 944 s2 may be interesting but again too many issues to deal with.

A 911 doesn’t heat up in traffic. I live in Southern California. In the summer the car can heat up in traffic. But later air cooled 911’s has a oil cooler. Also there is a lever inside the car that releases heat from the heat exchanger in the car. I own a 87 911.
