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.

944s are fun, the Turbo is the Bomb.

Sadly, it is an annuity for your mechanic and parts shop.
