Opinion on 85.5 944

Looking at a 944 tomorrow, will be my first.
Would appreciate anyone's opinions, particularly re any parts that might be very difficult to find.

85.5 NA; 5 speed
153,000 miles;
35,000 on engine rebuilt by prof'l P-car shop

6 years of receipts
A/C converted to R-134

Seller is very forthright, says car needs:
Pass door pull; backup lights; interior light; 3d brake light; shifter boot; windshield washer; mirror motors; driver door pocket.

Seller also says clutch can get "grabby" after about 1 hour in stop and go traffic, but that car has been that way for 6 yrs.

Car comes with 6 vol factory manual.

Seller is asking $2300.

I realize that the car needs a fair amount, but assuming a straight, rust-free body, does this sound like a good deal?

Are the replacement parts (for items mentioned above) going to be too expensive?

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
cthtpa
