Stay away from the 16v's, the heads break often, and cost$$$

Default 951 (944t) did not come with with a 16v head, only 8v...

You are thinking of the 944S2, and 968.

I've also not heard of them breaking all that often...?

Default I've said before, that I came "this close!" to buying a 951 instead of the CQ...

It'd be one helluva car, if I spent the same amount on it as I did (and still am!!) on the CQ. Purchase price was w/in $100 of each other, but the AWD swayed me. Little did I know that I could have had a 400+ hp beast back in the day (this was late 1996 when I was looking).

I'd hit it.

The words "used" and "Porsche" often strike fear in the hearts of many. Be prepared.

Default He didnt metniton which 944 turbo, and yes they break often . . .

. . . My buddy helped the owner of 944Ecology start his yard, and one of th most expensive parts, that break a lot is the 16v head, I forget where.
