I have a 1982 944 and it is in remarkable shape; they really are a top quality car. One item to note is that the odometers in these cars had a history of not working from time to time, so there is a good chance that the mileage you find on a used car might not be accurate. Additionally the parts on them are expensive. The 944 I own is a hand me down from my father, the original owner. He took great care of it but it needs lots of work to bring it up to original condition. Lots of small stuff but the parts are really killing my project. They are without a doubt a great ride, but be prepared to spend some $$$. Also, mine is not a turbo, so I am spending more on the restoration then the car is worth; but this car has sentimental value so I don't care. If you're going to decide on a 944, I'd get a turbo. They are worth more.
