1984 Porsche 944

As frequent readers will be well aware, I typically write about the 911 and as such I write about a lot of pretty high-priced machines. In the 911 world value is very much a relative term and many buyers can be quickly priced out. Thus, when I dip my toes into the value side of the Porsche pool I am constantly amazed at the amount of car you can get. Porsche’s fleet of front-engined rear-drive sport coupes, ranging from the 4-cylinder 924 to the V8-powered 928, can provide some of the best values in the marque while also delivering plenty of exciting driving in an elegant design. Here we’ll look at a very low mileage Black 1984 Porsche 944, located in New Jersey. Having borrowed much of its styling from the 924 Carrera GT, the 944 effectively was the more muscular version of Porsche’s entry-level 924 retaining much of the basic shape along with a 4-cylinder engine, though in this case that engine would be a Porsche designed 2.5 liter inline-4. The result was an excellently well-balanced car that was both more refined and more powerful than its less muscular sibling. It should be no surprise then that these enjoyed quite a bit of popularity in their day.

We really don’t come across many 944s with mileage this low so this is certainly a rarity in that regard. Assuming everything checks out on the maintenance end that leaves a ton of life in this 944 and it would likely make for an excellent opportunity for someone hoping to get a taste of an older Porsche, but without having to get involved in the escalating market for a 911. Plus, even with this mileage entry costs are such that you can drive this and enjoy it without worrying about suffering significant losses in value. This particular 944, even with this mileage and condition, seems priced too high as it’s stretching right to the top of the market, and for this much you might be better off finding a 944 Turbo anyway. So this one needs a good negotiator, but with a lower price that would make this all the better and plenty of fun!

    This one is more of an investment piece. You could drive a few hundred miles a year on it, but if any more is wanted – buy a cheaper higher mileage one. It might take a really long time (10-20 years?) but eventually these will be worth astronomical prices – see early 912 ‘s today.

    Mileage is too high for investment. Combined with it being a first generation 944, rather than the improved interior 85.5 and later model, makes this price nonsense. 10-12K is probably about right.

    Nice car though. Very nice.

    I have tried to buy a couple of cars from those guys and all I’ll say is no thanks. There was a “story” on every car I inquired about. IMO they specialize in cars with issues, mileage, title etc etc.

    Personally I think that car is grossly over priced but hey you never know in this market.
