I drive an 09 997 but am interested in an 86' 944 turbo that I am in touch with for like $6k. It seems very clean and has 70k miles and is from the second owner, the first guy owned it 22 yrs. Are there any problem areas for these cars that I should know about? Are they reliable or basically a money pit of repairs waiting to happen?

In terms of mileage that is a very good price. Are there records for recent big ticket items such as Timing belt/waterpump, clutch, etc? If those have not been done recently then you will at least have to pay the bill for the belts and waterpump job. Cars are notorious for timing belts breaking if they haven't been changed religiously.

+1 on the above as those are the most important things to look after. Besides that, make sure the clutch is good as a clutch replacement is also time consuming (expensive) though it will last a long time if properly driven once replaced. Check if possible the torque tube also.

Dropping tranny for clutch and other peculiarities make the car kind needy $$ for what it is.

Maintenance is maintenance on a 20 year old car. The key to buying one is to find something where everything has been done if you don't do your own work. The cars are very easy to make hp out of, and will hang with the new cars on the track. It is a lot more fun to push a car on the track when you know it isn't worth 70k+
