    Prawo Jazdy and The Velocity Trumpets: I miss Deartháir II: A 944 will get you the Cash 4 Clunkers curse at leMons. Much like the curse the 944 is fun to look at but not so much that you will spend the money to... more »
    666speed: I don't care how well it's been looked after, 12k is just a down payment. You'd better have 8k a year more to keep that little 16v happy. If I want to... more »
    PatFromGundo: Nice price, but only in the context of "I'm going to use this as my daily driver." The would-be "collectable" angle of this low-mile example is more ... more »
    wkiernan: My sister had one of these things. I only drove it once. Jee-suz! Despite things like $900 tune-ups (in '85 dollars; that was how much they charged... more »
    engineerd: It isn't often that the eFMV (patent pending) smokes the pipe of crack. In fact, the eFMV was set up with the express purpose of proving most of the ... more »
    snapoversteer 'bout to get told: Crack. Even with a turbo, you'd still be driving the second-worst poseur Porsche of all time. The only use I have for a 944 is to track it, and for ... more »
    Alfisted: Not a nice price but at the upper limit of reasonable. Oh, and I thought Molly Ringwald was somewhat lust-worthy, back in the day. more »
    brandegee: A time-machine Porsche is cool, but let's be honest, a 944 is made for hooning about, not sitting in the garage queening things up. You can only lose ... more »
    P161911 probably shoudn't have: Seems like a 944 should have a turbo if it is going into the 5 figure range. Either that or be race prepped. more »
    Number_Six: Even though I can't fit into these, I have an irrational liking for them and voted nice price. You certainly won't find a better-handling car at that ... more »
    Paul Y. can't get in the club; gotta parking lot pimp: Crackpipe. For just a little more, it's possible to have a cheaper-to-maintain, reliable driver-condition 911SC. No 944 should have an asking price ov... more »
    HoonThatFerrari: Unless there's some hidden mechanical weirdness going on, this car is a hoon-tastic Nice Price. Just bring a razor blade & some Windex with you when ... more »
    pinkshinyalan is kind of brown: I was friends with the hunky quarterback in high school. Maybe he wasn't quarterback, we weren't very close friends, but he played football among othe... more »
    smalleyxb122: 12k for a 944 initially had be thinking crack pipe. That's easily three times what you can find a nice example for, but... Those will all invariably... more »
    that ain't the way to have fun, son: CP. If I'm going to drop five figures on a front-engined Porsche...it'll be a 928. Oh, and Molly Ringworm is not lustworthy in any way, shape, or form. more »

    1987 Porsche 944S for a Traditionalist-Offending $12,000!

    For many, real Porsches are defined by air-cooled, rear-mounted engines, and a lot will turn up their noses at anything with a radiator. Well, when it comes to Porsches, Nice Price or Crack Pipe likes them wet or dry. More »

    1987 Porsche 944S

    This series has included quite a few Porsches so far, with a 356, some 912s, a couple of 928s, a pair of 914s, and- of course- a bunch of 911s. But what about the 944? Porsche sold quite a few of them, and not all have been turned into $500 race cars. For whatever reason, I just haven't found any 944s in Alameda... until now. More »
