Porche 944 question

Read the 944 buyer's guide in the latest european car. They don't go for 
much, they cost an ungodly bundle to repair, and in pristine condition 
aren't worth much more unless its a turbo or cabriolet. Our local Audi 
club pres had one for a few years - came with over $25K in receipts, 
owner was a doctor who spared no expense. He dropped a ton into it and 
finally sold it for far less than he paid for it, not even counting the 
work he put into it.

It is in good shape but the Red paint has oxidized and needs major compounding or maybe paint, but I did not see any rust and no noticaeable dings.  Major mechanicals are in good condition, but need some exhaust repairs, timing belt, window switch fix, among some other minor by my standards fixes.  The car ran and drove well and appears to have been well maintained.
