1988 model year

[Guest]

Has anyone heard of any possible problems with the body galvanising of 944s made in the year 1988?
I am looking for a nice late Lux at the moment, and a friend told me that he'd heard somewhere that Porsche had problems in that year, and to steer clear of 1988 models??
Could anyone spread any light please?

Sorry, I haven't heard of that before, so can't really say [&:]

That's the first I've heard of it and I can be a bit of an anorak at times.

Never heard of it either, I would have thought unlikely as they were sold with a long term corrosion warranty (10 years?).

Possibility that they were confused over 944 / 924. I believe that a large qty of bodyshells for 924 were lying around towards the end of production, hence the 924S using 944 mechanicals [albeit detuned]. For 1988 MY

Thanks for your replies, it seems that it's probably nothing to worry about.

I'm a bit late to this thread, but I've got an 1988 car, and there are no signs of rust anywhere.
