Thanks Coredweller! I have the U.S base 944 model. It\'s not the "S" with 16 Valves or the Turbo. I just finish working on the botom half of the engine. I had to change the main and con-rods bearings. My con-rod bearings was knocking so I had to use over sized bearings (.25mm) so I had to take out the crank and resurface the crank to fit the the .25mm bearings on. At the same time since the engine was out, I change the clutch disc, Pressure plate, Throw out bearing, Flywheel seal, Pilot bearing and resurface the flywheel. I did all the work and save $$$.
Yes, I think it safe to have around $2,000 for 944 maintenance costs.
Here some 88 944 Production numbers.
Toltal Production only 5965
Rest of World 2226
USA 3731
8 to Aus.
See this 944 History site.

This is my 2nd 944 I owned. I had a white 944. Once you drive a 944, It feels like no other car.
