Porsche didn’t really have a lot going on in the early 1990s. For the 1990 model year, they had the 911, the aging 928, and the 944. I suppose you could count the 959 as well, but production “officially” ended in 1988 with a handful per year being made up until 1993. That means your options were quite limited if you wanted a Porsche but thankfully there was the 944 S2 Cabriolet if you coveted a convertible but didn’t have 911 money. Truth be told, I think the 944 S2 looks great considering what it is and the improvements that were made over the years along with an adequate inline-four that came in with slightly over 200 horsepower. After these became “old” cars, prices have stayed low enough that anyone on a small budget could swing one as long as they had a Porsche specialist in the general area that didn’t hate working on them.
Today we have a 1990 up for sale in Texas that seems to be up to date in service but isn’t exactly matching the asking price when it comes to the cosmetics of the car.

1990 porsche 944 s2 cabriolet 77k New Clutch. New timing belt. New brakes. Fresh oil change. Runs great. Splits in drivers side seat see pics. Drivers side fender was fixed for a small dent. Soft top is like new with a clear plastic window. For more information call Jason at 9159295133 Thank you for looking and have a blessed day.
The good news is that the seller claims the very important timing belt service was recently performed and a new clutch was installed also. Great news. However, the driver’s seat has seen better days. There is also a giant lack of photos showing any of the interior other than some strange top-down photos of the seats and a photo of the odometer.
The asking price of $15,000 isn’t really lining up here. If this was a really clean example, sure, but this one has needs. You can see the clear film around the fender should have been removed a decade ago and the condition of the top is also a question mark. Save your $15,000 and buy another one because I think this one is a tad overpriced.

listing says it sold as “best offer” was accepted.
I love this version of the 944 and the latter 968. Still relatively affordable manual convertibles that have an unmistakable early 90s Porsche feel. I’d pass based on condition and color, but it’s still a really cool car for not a lot of money.
