944 Convert Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I have started looking for a 350 having decided to move up/down/sideways from my trusty 1987 944. Absolute budget is £10k, but I would really really really prefer to spend about £8k to leave something in the kitty for anything that crops up in major service, alloy refurbs, etc . Must have leather. Metallic blue or a solid colour favourite but can’t be too picky! P-r-e-s-u-m-a-b-l-y I am looking at a 276/296 bhp model in that budget? Any considerations regarding torque and power lower down the rev range? Specific question is car seats for a toddler – can passenger airbag be easily deactivated (the boy travels in the front of my 944 as child seats don’t fit in the back, and no airbag to worry about)?

Zugara Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Think you would be looking at an 07 or earlier for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Have a look in the 350 FOR SALE section on here, say over the last 6 months, as that will give you a good idea about what to expect for your money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 to the forum Its not even the front airbags that will do the damage to a child in the zed - its the curtain and seat bags - and you would need to deactivate all bags - IIRC - you can't be side selective on which ones you switch off so its all or nothing. Its just not really a car for carrying kids in - but each to their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

944 Convert Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 : Its just not really a car for carrying kids in - but each to their own It's to give me flexibility . . . my commute is a 20 mile (40 for six months this year) cross country 'A' road joy . . . nursery is about a mile from where we live . . if it's my turn to collect the boy and I run out of time to stick car in garage and collect bike or pushchair the ability to pop him in the car is useful. Fine in my Porsche (no airbag). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
