Well, I took the plunge and purchased a white 944S today and I already love it
Car is very tidy with virtually no sign of age either inside or out, only a small tear on the drivers seat bolster. All the electrics work (sunroof/windows/mirrors/seats/rear wiper you name it). The only fault I can find is that the accelerator is a bit jerky (as mentioned in an earlier post). It has the usual box file of receipts/records along with the owners manual and even has the sunroof cover !
No doubt other faults may occur as I get used to her but for now I am well pleased
I will put up some pics if the weather improves tomorrow (and I can stop myself from driving around in it )

Well done. Hope it's a real good one. Knowing what I do now thats the model I should have got! In good condition these are amazing.

yet another 944S good on you , i wonder if the throttle jerkiness is in comparison to more modern cars, or are the cables 20 years old and getting a bit sticky ?

Glad you've bought one, now enjoy! We need to see pics

Apologies to dial up users

As promised, heres a few pics (sorry taken with mobile whilst raining )

Also, had a quick look under the bonnet, and my throttle cable seems to be very loose which may explain the jerky feel. I will investigate further if/when the weather improves.

I dont think it looks to bad for a £2000 car

very tidy, enjoy it

Very nice, white ones are deffo the best

Unusual to see a 944 on it's telephone dials!

Looks good!

Throttle cable can be adjusted at the throttle body end.

Having had a quick look it looks relatively easy enough (famous last words ! ) the cable is so loose you can almost lift it over the little pully wheel. I assume this isn't normal

i do like them white ones maybe my next 944

I think they stretch with age! Mine was slack but there was enough adjustment to cure it fortunately. Eventually I will need a new 'un though I think.

Looks very tidy mate.
Mine is white and still on it's dials for the mo.

No that's not normal. It should be tight enough so that with the first bit of movement you can hear the throttle position switch click.

very nice and tidy..... i love the white ones too and around my way i think there is only 1 other one which i have only seen once. enjoy her mine is a daily driver and i enjoy driving her..... only at the moment i would love to have the power steering as i am suffering with a frozen shoulder so a little awkward to drive but i am trying

I've driven one without PAS & I couldn't have lived with it. It is possible to retrofit it but you need a new front cover as the pump bracket is part of it.
