No "how will a Porsche 944 do as a first car" thread? Jesus, what's wrong with you today /o/?
So, on the purely hypothetical possibility that I am totally and undeniably in love with the 944 and will totally buy one as a first car, what should I look out for?
Also, mandatory /comfy/ pic, every 944 or Porsche-related thread demands one of these :3
Talk me out of it /o/
I just bought my first car and was looking for an already working project car. This thing looks like pure sex. I don't even mind the wheels. If it's as well maintained as he says, would it be a good deal?

Do you like hanging out with your friends?
Just kidding, you have no friends. But if you did you wouldn't see them much with a 944 as your first car.
Get something reliable first, then buy one.
Love,
A 944 owner

Not op, but the Canuck. What if I already have a reliable cheap fwd slush box commuter that's good on gas and will go forever with minimum maintenance? Then is it less retarded?

While I have heard nothing but bad things about the 944, this is the first I've heard it called a nightmare. Whats the biggest problem with this thing other than literally everything exploding frequently?

change the cam belts no materr what then keep track of the miles- change again at 55K to be best safe. NEVER over 70K
Should have just made another Porsche general

If you've got something that gets you to work, and you really like 944s I say go for it.
Just remember you want to see maintenance history, particularly regarding the water pump and timing belts.
