I imagine the car needs work - scratched paint, tired interior that need work, etc.

Would a $15-20,000 996 be a better deal? Possibly better maintenance and condition?
After owning a 924S that I bought for $500, then a 560SL that I bought for $4,000 I agree with 1990C4S. Even if you enjoy wrenching on things at some point in the middle of a frustrating job you realize that you could have just bought a better one and come out the same without spending all that time in the garage.

I think the sweet spot is something in the middle with a maintenance history, unless you're looking for a track car. For that a cheap one would probably be perfect since it'll be apart to modify the car anyway. It only took me 11 years to learn that when people said there's nothing more expensive than a cheap (whatever) they were right!
