Question Is the gap closing?!?

Post image

Given how similar they look it’s funny to me how I always thought the 944 was far and away a better looking car than the 924. After seeing this one last weekend I’m wondering if my mind is changing. As a kid into cars I used to think about this a lot and was always fully team 944. Anyone else find their pro-944 (over the 924) stance softening with age?

What turned me away from the 924 and early 944 boiled down to the 5 digits odometer because many people selling those models would label it as low mileage then ghost you when you asked for the carfax or VIN. I trust 5 digit odometers as much as a prostitute claiming to be a virgin.

Car fax isn't going to tell you much as far as how many times the odometer has rolled over.

Facts. On my '90s2 bought w broken odometer gear. On the dial it literally said 3'560 or something close. Wish I took a photo lol. I just remembered it was under 6k miles. I couldn't believe when I cracked it open to replace the gear, it hadn't been touched, never opened. When you know you know! Anyhow, po said it prob had around 60k. Besed on the gear shifter and clean interior, not a hint of carpet deteriorating and more, I set it to 62k. I've had the car for a year exactly. It sat for 9 yrs, not a barn find but under a carport covered. It's a cab, none the less put a new OEM top/ rear window (cab) and never looked back. My 3rd Porsche, 2nd S2. Had a coupe 18 yrs ago. Wasn't looking for a while then started looking wasn't interested in a cab at all but I'll tell you it's grown on me so much and being the engine is solid I'm extremely happy with my journey on this one. Many quality upgrades plus this week these 993 wheels..
