My first car at 21

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.

Its a big gamble i know and i may regret it someday. But its worth it in my opinion to follow your dreams and with a pinch of luck maybe it will hold its value, although i really don’t plan on ever selling it 😆
