How can you go wrong? The 944 S2 is a bargain at most retail prices. I bought my S2 cabrio in 2004 for around $8200 with less than 100K. Admittedly, I don't put a lot of miles on it, but in 2015, w/ 112k, it runs beautifully! Every few years I bring it into the local Porsche dealer for a full over haul, but even this service is very reasonable. I think I have maybe put about $4k in service (including a new top). But compared to a vintage 911 this is nothing. I love this car for its performance and reliability. I doubt I will ever sell it.

I have had a 944S2 Cabbie for 5 years now. It has been re-chipped, de-catted and tuned, the performance is fantastic. 0 60 in 5.5 secs 150 mph (just), 28 mpg, utterly reliable, everywhere you go people comment and ask what model it is. It is not just a classic - it's a master classic. INCREDIBLE VALUE AT £10,000 for the performance - it's amazing. This is the 2nd Porsche I've had, previously a 944 Lux (2,5) - junk in comparison. Insurance group 20, but only £250 fully comp!! There is not another car made I would swap this for, not even a Carrera S 4 - simply too expensive to run. 911's not in the same ballpark, slow and unreliable, overpriced and uncomfortable. A very happy man!
Only thing missing is a cup holder!

It is a really fun car to drive. Rare car! You want see one often. Unique. I find it unusual that a 18 year old car that had a sticker price of 50K+ could be selling for $5,000.00 (not! you will not find one in good shape sell for this) I paid $11,000.00 and I think I got a deal. If you are a car nut seek this one out. You won't be disappointed. I was amazed at the comfort of the car. It is small looking, I was worried I would not fit in it, being I'm 6'-2". I do fit well. I would not recommend for anyone taller. If you have not driven 1? Do! Nothing like going down a curvy road at 100+ Handling is a dream. Hugs the road like its attached to it. This car is happiest at about a 100-110. GL
Interesting car

I have owned the car for more than 3
years. Very nice - but be prepared to
TAKE CARE OF THE CAR. This is not a
Honda Civic that only needs an oil
change. It will need new belts every
30K and extras to make sure she stays
in top running condition. With that
said ... this car will make you smile
:-) every time you drive it. TMF -
tooooo much fun!!! The handling is
very precise and forgiving if you push
beyond the limits. Excelent balance,
not a drag racer, a road car - a track
car.
Awesome

I've put 6000 miles on my 944 Cab.
Now totalling 18,500 miles on the
odometer. Best purchase I've ever
made. Looks, speed, cornering, style
and features are just right. I
receive many compliments on this baby
that is perfect and also is 13 years
old. She sleeps in the winter time,
but when the temps are up, and the sun
is out, so is she! SSSWEET!!
SSSweet!

I've heard the word more than once
since I bought my cabriolet! She's in
excellent shape well maintained and
number 4 in my list of Porsche's
owned.It's fun to drive and nice to
look at. Always have a special place in
my heart for the 944 style.
You should've bought one

I'm one of those lucky few that have a
944S2 that is in pristine condition. I
don't care what the "supposed" value is
today, to me it is worth a million
bucks! The 944S2 Cabriolet design is
perfect. It still looks new! I get
inquiries all the time as to whether
its a new Porsche model. With so few
imported into the US, it will always be
a special automobile. No complaints at
all. If you can still get one in good
condition, I suggest you do. You'll
love it!
Awesome Vehicle

I love this car. And, it looks
fantastic. The 944 S2 Cab's styling
was way ahead of its time. For a car
that's over a decade old, it really
gets looks from car buffs. People
refuse to believe that it's over a
decade old. It's a classic already--I
doubt there are many left in mint
condition. I'm glad I have one of them.
Awesome Porsche

The baby does everything right. She
unloads on you and drives like there's
no tommorrow. If I were you I would go
out and try to find one and buy it ASAP.
