Love the way they look and remember really liking they way they drove (it was almost 20 years ago). I am tempted to buy one every time I start looking around on CL. Seems like a pretty decent N/A example with 100K are around 5G's. What's the deal? Am I alone in liking the 80's style of these?

Why are 944's so cheap

They've already started going up. I bought a decent '86 Turbo for $5500 back in 2007 and sold it a year later for $6k. That same car is probably 10 grand now. And you could find decent NA cars for $3-4k all day, even here in Michigan, but now it seems like the prices start at $5k.
Compared to the E30, they do look better and have a better chassis. But they are slower, more fragile, harder to work on, and the parts are more expensive. Regardless, I want another one. I just love the styling so much.Tom - 85 325e for sale

How about 924s? Mechanically they are the same as 944s. They should be a little faster than 944s because of weight difference. I test drove one couple of years ago, my e30 felt like a benz compared to that! I've been looking for a clean one ever since.feedback http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...32#post4540332

The 924's are rad too but the 944s' look so much more aggressive and there seem to be a lot more out there. According to my Porsche poster the 944's were about 150LB more at 2600 lbs. Seems that the 924 GT was the feather weight at 2205.
I hope my e30's don't catch wind of this chatter. I am going to be walking tomorrow.
