Most expensive 944 in the country ?


ORIGINAL: MarkK

Car could end up abroad,it's a rare car in the best condition,from a known and trusted name,it's an expensive 944 but not an expensive car by modern standards anymore,Malton are not in a rush and can afford to wait.
One punter only is needed.The type of person that has a space in his collection for one of these or someone that is just plain curious to see what the newest most original example drives like.Who knows,I bet it will sell after a chat.

Yep, for someone who has vast cash reserves, Russian Oligarch's, Wealthy and Nostalgic germans, Saudi princes etc 25 grand is spare change, it is just down to whether one of them wants a RHD 944 Turbo cab, suspect it is all about 100 plus grand 911's, Ferrari's and other exotica at that level though, I do know a chap who has the new McLaren and his first proper car as he put it, back in 1990 was a red 944 S2 Cab as he was getting misty eyed over mine when he saw it, despite a long and distinguished line of supercars his wife still had the fondest memories for his 944 that he had when she first me him so, suppose someone like that might make an offer for a nice one as a birthday present for his wife as to be fair I dont think she would crib that his was an S2 and this was a turbo.

Oligarchs?!?!? Millions of people in this country spend £25,000 or more on a car every year. Hundreds of thousands of people in this country spend £25K or more on a not-strictly-needed second car every year. £25K is the price of a basic-spec no-options 3-door Golf GTI. It is a full five grand less than the price of the most basic new BMW Z4, with no options. It's only a couple of thousand more than an MX-5 with a few options on it, and they sell in their droves. It's the price of one of those deeply unfortunate Mini Roadsters in 211 bhp JCW form. And all of those will depreciate like burning buildings, in six years they will be down to £6-8K

Yeah, but those are by and large bought on lease plans by average punters to use every day and they have a 13 plate on. My comment was with reference to the possibility of it going abroad really.

That car is lovely but its niche within a niche, cant really compare it to a Mini, the average 21 year old girl isnt going to look twice at an "old" car.
 
Was kind of meaning to buy one rather than ignoring the obvious animal magnetism they excude, bet 90 percent of the population dont really know what they are, especially the younger ones.
 
The most expensive 944 in the country is probably a 180k mile 'bargain' off ebay, where the 'tlc' needed to bring it up to scratch drove two successive owners almost to financial ruin. ASK ME HOW I KNOW THIS!

Totally true imo, the majority of the non car people I know rate a car on how new it is [:'(]

Dunc.
