Hi & welcome :wave:

First thing is where do you live & can we see some pics?

When were the belts & water pump last done?

Hello and welcome to the forum, sounds like a good find, hope you enjoy, by the way belts need to be replaced every 3 to 4 years or 36k to 48k miles depending on who you speak to

Hello Andy, Where are the pics??? :lol: Ok Thats a pretty low mileage for a 944. Hope it's had regular use as they don't like being left standing. Hope you got a good one! There really for nothing at the moment. :)

Hi Andy welcome to the forum.

I'll echo what others have said. If the belts are over 3 years old, get them changed soon, it doesn't matter what the mileage.

Hi and welcome.

Same questions as everyone else - pictures, location.

Sounds like you have a nice motor there. Enjoy the ride.
