Hi my name is Damian, and I will be looking to buy myself a 944 in the coming months, I have always loved the 944. I have had various High powered cars in the past, from 300zx Twin turbo to my current brief, 98 Clk320 with the AMG factory body kit, But as I have said I have always loved the 944.
This leads me to my next question. What should I be looking for when viewing one. Here is a couple of pictures of my clk, might I add she is a rare beastie as she has no rust on her

Many thanks in advance

Hi & welcome :wave: There is a buyers guide on here in the 944 section that I wrote a while ago.

Hello and welcome, rust can be an issue with 944s as well

I have noticed that the rear of the sills at the start of the rear arch seems to be one of the prone areas on the 944

Hi and welcome :hello2: Plenty 944 boys usually at the monthly Scottish meeting in Bo'Ness, which is tonight if you can make it? Loads of advice from them too, Flash Gordon would talk the hind legs off a donkey about them, so I'd start there. If I was going for another, I'd buy from an enthusiast who's looked after her. I bought the one I had from the south of England, as there weren't many good ones in Scotland at the time. Keep us all posted, and I'm sure someone can pop over and show you a good car so you know what you're looking for.
