Porsche 944 Classic Cars

Porsche 944: Prestige and Panache on Wheels

Amongst all the big names in sports-car construction, Porsche has an exclusive charm, and a Porsche 944 attracts a lot of attention among classic car enthusiasts. eBay offers a range of Porsche 944 classic cars in various physical and mechanical conditions.

What makes the Porsche 944 S2 model a rarity?

The Porsche 944 was in production from 1982 to 1991. It kept the typical Porsche styling with its sweeping, elegant lines that are so recognisable on the road. The Porsche 944 S2, however, was presented in 1988 and production lasted only three years. The Porsche 944 S2 is therefore considered more exclusive as production numbers remained low due to its short life-cycle.

The maintenance requirements of a Porsche 944

All classic cars need monitoring and regular maintenance, even those that spend most of their time in the garage. Taking your Porsche 944 on a weekly run is advised in order to get the fluids circulating the gearbox and differentials, as well as keeping the brakes in good working order. If a car is only driven occasionally, the belt, tyres, and any rubber components such as the hoses will degrade more swiftly. Regular checks should also be made to the water pump and motor mounts to ensure a peak driving experience.

What decides the price point of a Porsche 944?

Although the Porsche 944 is definitively a luxury vehicle, prices can fluctuate based on a number of factors. Those considering buying a Porsche 944 should be sure to check the condition of the car against its age, as well as studying the service manual to assess any work that may have been undertaken. Photographs in listings will give an indication of the level of upkeep and maintenance, but an in-person check is always recommended. Porsche 944s with visible damage to the chassis or bodywork can fetch a lower price than pristine models.

How to winterise a Porsche 944 turbo

If your Porsche is a fair-weather only vehicle, you will need to consider your storage options. For short periods of time, this can be as easy as parking it in your garage. If, however, you need to store the car for six months or longer, it is recommended that the following preparations are made:

• Connnect a battery conditioner.
• Add fuel stabiliser to the tank.
• Consider jacks to avoid tire flat spots.
• Use a cover to protect the bodywork from environmental damage.
