Can anyone talk me out of buying a cheap 951?

Locally on Cragslist is this 944 Turbo with 150,000 or so miles for $3,300.

1987 Porsche 944 5 speed TURBO

Talked to the guy and he sounds pretty clueless but for real. Insists it's a real factory turbo. From the ad I thought it might be a regular 944 or a 944 with a fake turbo add on but it appears to be the real deal. Admits the car has not had much maintenence. Last timing belt change was ten years ago. A few dent but no rust. He says it's a strong runner and has a leather interior. I know the water pump is another issue.Anything else to watch out for?

How bad upside down can I get in a $3,000 951? I'm thinking driver's ed, auto x and fun summer car. What should I do to it if I d get it? I'm not much of a wrench, but I have some friends who are. Maybe start a DE team?

I did cross post this in the 944 turbo forum, but I know better than to ignore the combined wisom of PPOT. What could possibly go wrong?
