how do you tell a 944Turbo from a TurboSE??
Discussion
Hi,
I used to have a 944NA a couple of years ago and I'm keen to get another one, this time a 250bhp Turbo or Turbo SE. The problem is I dont know how to tell a normal turbo from an SE. I believe the SE has an LSD, adjustable suspension, bigger brakes and forged wheels but none of these are immediately obvious when looking at a single car in isolation. I have found listings of option codes that are printed on the boot sticker but again these are a bit criptic, unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a single code which says "this is an SE!" I'd like to know the easy way to spot the difference if there is one.
Also does anyone have any idea of the going rate for one of these cars?I have seen anything from £5500 to £12000 How much more would you expect to pay for an SE over a normal Turbo?
Thanks for your help

SE only produced in 1988
Engine code for 250bhp cars is M44/52
Later cars were SE spec BUT 90 on dropped the adjustable supension
see my website for pics of the different wheels

An SE should not have any additional money over a non-SE Turbo: buy on condition and history. A knackered SE will cost more to put right then a "right" non-SE.
In terms of price, they vary tremendously. Almost everyone agrees they are undervalued and (possibly) due for a value increase any day now.
Price according to consition. I paid £5K for my 89 Turbo in blue with cream leather and all the trimmings, which I think is good value. £12 seems a lot for a 944 Turbo, not not for what it can do.
And please don't mention the values of the 968 around a 944 owner!!!
