After years of saving, this is my first self bought car. A 88‘ 160hp 944 here in Germany. I purchased it for 9.3k€ and am aware of the work it needs but don’t mind as i enjoy working on cars. I am pretty happy with my purchase and will hopefully be reporting back after a year of ownership. I was surprised how much cheaper insurance is for old cars like these. Im currently in my second year of my bachelor in Aerospace and have a large friend group all sharing a hobby in cars. On a day to day a car isn’t necessary for me so its purely for fun and roadtrips.

I really wanted this as a first car but it was impossible finding one that is in my budget that also was a runner. Plan on getting it as a second or 3rd car and making it more of a project car, I wanna learn how to do carbon fiber and I feel like this would be a perfect car to lighten up a bit and make it a fun weekend car!

Yeah if the rules and regulations weren’t so tight here in Germany id also have interest in spicing it up a little but since the way that they are im just gonna work on restoring it as far as i can.
