I owned a pristine, ducumented early '85 944. The car is a great joy to drive, rock solid in corners with a great third gear. It would be a considerable come down in power from a Boxster. The cars are aging, they require expensive maintenance, it would not take much to have a repair eclipse the value of the car depending on what breaks, unless you are mechanical and enjoy being on a car as a hobby, I'd advise staying away. My (almost a father in law) owned a Porsche dealership. He told me on many occasions the Turbo's required more shop time than the NA units. The turbos are however, very quick.
