I have to say that I'm liking the comments a lot. Doesn't look like you
guys have any major issues with the 944, except for the gearbox issue.
I'd like to know there is a specific time period in the 944's life where
it was a great car to buy or years which is better left alone. Like the
911 years between 1984 and say 1988 were good years. Or does the same
rule count when buying 944, buy the latest one I can afford?
Thanks again for such an informative newsgroup.
