I wouldn't be so quick to run away from an S.
Many times they get bad press for the following:
1. They weren't that much of an improvement over the regular 8 valve engine - certainly not enough to justify the price difference when they came out.
2. The chain tensioner can be prone to failure - it isn't easy to change and tends to be a bit pricy.
3. They tend to be more expensive to maintain when compared to a regular 944.
That said, if you are considering it, absolutely, positively get it inspected before buying one - and I would be extremely wary of one without maintenance record (as you should be with any Porsche) - If you were to buy it without service records, you must then assume that the belts and the chain tensioner would require service.
