Porsche - 944 (1988)
The Porsche 944 has long been celebrated as one of the most thrilling yet accessible sports cars from Germany’s legendary coachbuilder. When you think of its arrival in the late‑1980s, the 944 was positioned as a bridge between the high‑performance 911 and the everyday practical cars of the era. Whether you’re a collector or simply a motor‑enthusiast, the Porsche 944 price discussion is always fascinating because the vehicle’s value is influenced by heritage, rarity, and overall care of the model across decades. In 1988, the original release price was well below the wedge of the iconic 911, making the Porsche 944 1988 price an attractive first‑step entry into Porsche ownership. Today, the market for a used model continues to grow, and the used Porsche 944 price reflects the combination of age, mileage, and restoration quality that each car brings.

When evaluating the life of a classic sports car, Porsche 944 depreciation is always a key consideration. Unlike mainstream models that focus on safety features and fuel efficiency, the 944 relies on its heritage value. Historical data shows that a 1988 944 typically loses 15–20% of its value in the first year after purchase due to price adjustments after a bulk depreciation window. From
