Been around P cars for a while now & in those forty one years I've learn not to trust anybody when buying them specially from cars dealer.Before buying, one should look around & ask other peoples which are trusworthty & know a little about the P car models you want to buy to look for you.I personally could had get you a 94 with all maintenance done showing a little over known 100K miles closer to you for the same amount of money & lot of goodies added to it.But let's forget it what is done is done.What worries me about this car is the unknown mileage,car fax state "odemeter problem reported true mileage unknown" so lol how many miles do this car really has? plus the lack of maintenance records and a solid PPI.Now it will be up to you to take a chance on it ,don't think no one here can't decide for you.Tell you something else,when I own my 944 I'll wrench it around & it was a pleasure simple & easy to work on,now the 16V 968 is a complete different animal & I will not enjoy wrenching on it.When I bougth mine 2 1/2 years ago it only had 78,651k klm but had been sitting for almost 5 years & taken out once in a while for a short drive,well friend you'll you believe that after a PPI the cost of bringing it up to date was over $2,500K that included all belts rollers /water pump/PS pump & wheels bearings at the four corners.Lucky for me the deal was that the guy I was buying from was paying for all parts & labor.Still end up costing me for all fluid change.So this just an example of how those car will dig a fast hole in your pockets.But on the positive side once well maintain they are one of the greatest car to own & drive around.
