I had *two* Type IV's back in the day...a 411 and a 412 ;-). Nice cars.
The whole 944 line suffers from the fact that Porsche 911 fans never really took to them, so they depreciated rapidly and often ended up in the hands of younger buyers who could not really afford to maintain them. The did keep Porsche alive during the mid-to-late '80's as there were a ton of them sold to the yuppies of that era. And they were, and still are, very nice cars, IMHO. and are still one of the best bang for the buck propositions in entire automotive world.
I'm seriously considering buying a 924S SE (1988 special model with M030 suspension) to use as an AX "learner" car.
