Prices and Demand.

[944Turbo]

As I have a deposit down on another turbo car (with 4wd arriving summer) my toy funds will be depleted anyway for a couple of years.

I've thought for a while that a Audi TT-RS with some suspension and mapping tweaks, would run rings around a 944 turbo. Plus it would put it's power down on a wet road much more effectively. A car for all seasons?

bit less flash, and hopefully a more interesting drive (Yaris)

Circuit pack?

Yes, I think most sold are, certainly going by the PH thread. It actually felt a bit underpowered for its grip in some pretty grim conditions when I test drove it - that would usually put me off - as would buying a new car as I usually like others to pay the depreciation However it has something special that means I want to drive one a lot more - the trend for hybridisation and auto boxes also mean it was a surprise and toyota should be rewarded for it if we are to get cars of this type in future. I think it lies somewhere between an off the shelf project Binky and half a Nissan GTR. While an actual GTR appeals (more so if they made a manual) I think it has performance limits too high to enjoy on the road and I am expecting the Yaris will be cheaper to run.

DK Knight, a good mate bought a 928 GT Manual in Black, paid top dollar but it is a top no expense spared car.

Hell of a thing !

Posters, loads of new stuff quicker than a 944 turbo, it's not about that, agree with PSH I owned a very early 86 Turbo and it was completely rust free, that said it was garaged over winter for most of it's life.

Mine hibernates when the council is chucking salt grit about to preserve it.

Fantastic looking machine - and one I would like in my lottery garage - be great for road trips to the far side of Europe

There's not that many! only the Normally aspirated 944 S2 3.0 & 968 not much difference between them and usually any 944 turbo owner never goes UP to a

normally asp! the 928#s are big bruisers not as chuckable, mostly (lazy change auto) and relatively heavy and thirsty...

But a lot of turbo owners did own NAs before they went to a Turbo...............

If this was directed at me, my post referring to a TT-RS was prompted by someone saying they are buying a turbo car with 4wd. And I didn't mention price on this occasion.

Hey nothing personal was just saying - thread title was "prices and demand" not what is the best performance car can I buy for £20k?

Sorry if I offended you [&o]

Hi all,

Long time no post ! Well as someone who is currently bracing himself to potentially sell his 944 once the current viral unpleasantness abates some more, it will be interesting to see exactly what prices and demand are out there ! (assuming I can bring myself to do the deed !)

Jon, are you feeling alright?

 

[PSH]

classic car prices still seem pretty good, as an example, my son has just turned down a solid offer of £45 k for his Escort Cosworth this week and it currently hasn't even got the engine installed although that is only a few weeks away.

No, he bought it as a bare shell + parts. was a rally car spare shell...brought it back on a trailer and then built it from the ground up, no expense spared...
