Which 944 turbo?

[blade7]

Same upset that was caused when Renault bought out the Clio Williams 2 .

Jon: option #4 - stop it! No such thing as a >'89 Turbo 'SE'. It was an '89 Turbo, or a '90 Turbo.

As soon as I read that I wondered when Simon would be along

I'd like to call mine a Turbo GTR RS Clubsport .

I might call mine a 944 Turbo Si (mon)

I can't stop! It makes me smile when it gets people mad!

Everyone knows what a 944 Turbo SE is, just a fully optioned up late car, or a UK spec 944 Turbo, with all the goodies of a Turbo S plus a sun roof.

I remember when the main people who used to get mad about the name Turbo SE being used was owners of the Turbo S cars for a couple of years after they bought theirs new due to the massive price hike they paid for the Turbo S in 88

'Turbo S' cars were the Turbo SE.

wish I knew what's happened to my old '44 Turbo? It's like it's just vanished into thin air [8|].....!

Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all .

 

[Craigybaby]

but if you sit down and count the cost of all those losses, there's no profit at all - name that tune!

 

[944Scott]

You're gone, Del Amitri.

 

[Craigybaby]

spot on Scott, unfortunately you haven't won a speed boat and a deep fat fryer for the misses.

As well as or instead of the 968 ?

 

[Ex Skyline]

Erm...not sure Paul [8|], I still haven't driven the 968 properly yet so haven't really got anything to compare the Turbo to . The 968 has been in hibernating in my garage for the past nine months and, hasn't turned a wheel.....!!!!!

 

[blade7]

I've never driven one Pete, but if what I've read is right a mildly modified R33/34 Skyline would slaughter a 944 turbo. So what am I missing ?

 

[PSH]

didn't JC after testing push one off a cliff?....only playing....

It vanished, I suspect the people who bought it were actually doing for that guy in Hong Kong, either that, or another buyer in HK, AU, NZ, CN or SP or other right hand drive, 80s/90s Porsche buying nation as about 50% of my customers 944's and 911's from that era have headed that way once sold.

A Porsche like that can take months to sell if the money is right, but some people think it will not sell at that "right price" and drop the price, then it sells and they think that is all it was worth..I think your car was worth loads more than it sold for.

Porsches are like women, if they are cheap anyone will have them, but they tend to be the women(Porsche) you do not want because everyone has had them and no one wants them, but a keeper is the one which is a bit more work to obtain, or in the Porsche world, more expensive and may be on the market longer until the right person with the right pockets come along... I guess women can be like that too, but thats where the analogy falls down, or not.

What they're worth is a tricky question for me. One sells for X and now all similar ones must be worth X, this ignores the fact there may have only been one person in the country willing to pay that. Take out the speculators that aren't interested in the car itself, or the foreign buyers with strong exchange rates and you are left with the likes of us. Personally if I was shopping for a car with £20k + a 944t wouldn't be my only consideration.
