Talk me out of the 944T

I have an old bike that I've got for sale.. a 1953 BMW R51/3

A guy who restores stuff has a cherry 1991 944T that he wants to trade, even steven.

It has 50k miles on the clock, he's the second owner.  Original interior, upgraded wheels, mirrors .. It's one of like 10 cars he has, so it doesn't get driven a lot, but he keeps it in great shape.

Why don't I want a 944T???  I mean, other than the age and the cost of maintenance, etc..??

He also has an Esprit and an M3, but I don't like those as much..

But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I'm 95% there.

Missus says we have too much stuff around.  I figure trading a bike for a car is a step down.. lol

That would make 4 cars, and the SLK is for sale... If i could get rid of it before getting the 944 it would be ok.

I need to clear some space out tho.

She doesn't drive stick, which is I think part of the problem.

More pictures soon...

That is probably toward the best model of the 944s available.  Yes, you have to be vigilant about timing belt changes, and yes, the transmission setup is different.  I would be happy to have that in my garage.

Jump all over that.  Sorry, not helping.

Timing belt recently changed, along with the tensioners and valves gapped... this guy takes very good care of cars, which is why I'm very reluctant to walk.  he prefers trading to enthusiasts rather than selling...

Maybe thinking of it as an LT van coupe would help?

That's sort of like trying to imagine that Kristin Bell is Donatella Versace... can't do it...
