And if "great" turbos can be found "all day long" as folks tell us for $4-6K, why would a "lesser performing" model be worth more?
I am not saying it couldn't be worth more (hence the ebay idea), but you need the right buyer at the right time. My '87 NA, with 45K miles, I couldn't get an offer over $6K for it. To me, a 175K mile car has seen more use. Sure, it may be well maintained, but the chassis takes the burden.

I search CraigList every day for parts and regularly see turbo's in the 4-6K range. Here's one that's been listed daily for a couple of months now. Seems decent and has a recent front of the engine service just like yours.

Sorry to be picky but the only maintenance you've listed was related to the broken belt. If I were to pay 7-8K for a 944 I would also expect to see maintenance listed for the fuel system, cooling, clutch, brakes, suspension, etc. not just switches with the symbols still on them. I don't know you, your car or the circumstances that allowed the belt to break so no offense but I'm leary of pretty examples with little maintanance records.
The best way to get your money back out of one of these cars is to drive it for a long, long time.
Good luck with your decision.
