The 944 Turbos are REALLY expensive to maintain. Also, you'll want to know what problems to look for when buying a used 944 Turbo (small problems cost big $$$$). You may want to check out European Car magazine. I think they did an article recently on buying used 944s.

no asian cars. i got a friend that would keep my 944 up and running at a fraction of the cost (my neighbor down the block) he has the same car too,and as i speak he is probably underit puttin on his coilovers gettin ready for auto cross. anything with a turbo can be made fast. 0-60 stock is 6.1 sec not bad fora car that came out 15 yrs ago. add a chip intake and exhaust and itll be as fast as the suby at a fraction of the cost. jokes aside what other cars beside the datsun?

Okay, you shot down every single suggestion given since the thread was started. You should start a new one called "Does anyone know where I can get a 944 turbo with $7,000 down?"
i was hoping you would buy it so you could kill your self trying to control it on a narrow road. Damn guess darwin will have to wait until you get your supa fly porsche

There's a '71 240Z in Sacto selling for $5k I've been drooling over for a while, but not your style eh?
No Japanese huh?!?! Hmmmm....a Turbo Sprint would be kinda cool. Dont see too many hot hatches like that anymore. I love the stylings of the Corrado, but not too fond of FF cars (VW is kinda Porche if thats your thing).
Personally, I would go for an E30 BMW 3 series. Cant get an E30 M3 for the $7K, but a 325is would be a sweet ride. Speaking of BMW, I like the BMW 2002, kinda 510 german style. Or even an old 320i (my girlfriend used to have one, it's a pretty fun ride, but nothing amazing).
Porche are fairly expensive to maintain, but the 944 isn't the hardest car to work on, so you could do a lot of the work yourself. I personally like the 914 better (MR cars...mmmm goood), but getting a 914 2liter or 6cylender is hard with only $7k.
Speaking of MR cars, maybe an Pontiac Fiero....before you laugh....there's a company that will drop a v8 behind the drivers seat for ya.
