944 buying/problems

I’ve been out of the Porsche world for awhile, and want back in! I’ve been looking for a 944 or 951 to commute in, when the weather permits. Other than the timing belt, steering rack and tired suspension...what are some common costly issues I should be looking for? Also, does $7-$9K seem accurate for a clean NA car, and $10-$14 for a turbo?

Thanks,
Ryan

$7 to 9K for an NA car would be good if the car has up to date maintenance records that are time/date proper for the car. Also, no cracks in dash, good glass, Tires with recent date codes (less than 5 years) and a/c working. Otherwise 4 to 5K and you'll have to do belts, tires, brakes, etc. which could amount to the difference.


Turbo: Same stuff and check for smoke from exhaust (possible turbo seals), engine temps, and boost pressures.


Good luck with the hunt.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
