OT: Porsche 944 1984, Any good for da wife? Options

[Mark Henry]

The wife needs a better car for going to work, she is tired of the beetle, wants heat, hard start in the rain, yada-yada.

I can get a '84 944 for a deal, but not a steal. The shop just wants to get their money out of it.

It has new waterpump, timing belt and a bunch of other odds and ends. No milkshake (cooler seals) problems, paint Ok (but not new), fuchs, 222,000kms and seems to run good.

The bad is it will need a power steering pump soon and it has been sitting for 3 years. It was just driven for 2 hrs with no problems.

What's it worth?
Can little kids fit in the back OK?
Good car or bad car?
What to look for?
Anything else?

Thanks Mark

Mark I have looked at 9144s for years, they keep going down in value and the repair and parts cost are still high.
I have test driven the cars and been swayed by the great prices that you can get one fro. But after talking to the real people who own one, 95% have said, walk away and look for something else.
They are or can be a real money pit with zero chance of recovering your costs.
PM me about a car I have that might work.
