I have a chance to pick up my friend's 944 for what the dealer will offer him on trade. One owner, 80,000 miles, never hit, dealer maintained since new, silver over black leather 5 speed, needs nothing, Fuchs wheels. No rust no scratches. Never saw snow. He's not a car guy, just ran it from home to the golf course.
My concern is buying a 3 thousand dollar car that may need a 2 thousand dollar clutch, etc. Also, the recent European car has this engine at 143 hp and about 150 ftlbs torque, about what an NA 900 puts out. According to the mag, 85 and later are more desirable, better interior and more hp, features.
Should I do it as my summer car?
