There's probably a market, at least a niche market for a somewhat advanced 944 with a bit of 928 thrown in. It's still an old car with all those inherent problems, but if you like tinkering and upkeeping your car, i.e. if you are hands-on, it could be a fun venture.

I've seen used prices for 968 cabs as high as $25k for a low mileage one a great condition. The prices I see lately makes me think they ar eWorld more then a comparable condition 986. Who knows what they actually sell for. As a former 944S2 owner the Boxster is a much better car in almost every aspect.

Yah, the 944/968 likes a new water pump, belt and related tensioner ever 50k. Also, if it needs a clutch it's expensive. I needed one and it was almost $2k back in 1997. Its something like 16 hours of labor if I remember correctly.
