Nothing wrong with Jiffy Lube if you monitor them. I use Wal*Mart for my truck. I supervise what they do. I just don't want 4 gallons of diesel oil all over the garage in the winter

Parts are not cheap and I'm sure the fuel system is trashed. Only buy if you want to part it out.

If you own a 944...Better make sure you have access to a lift. Everything is really tight and difficult to work on....But like anything, I think it's just getting to know how to service them.

I love my Turbo.

If you're looking for a lower priced Porsche, I recommend spending a little more for a 914.
