Take the time to get it checked out before you buy.
Ordinarily I'd agree, but why get a thousand dollar car checked out? You already know it's got issues. It's just a question of whether you want to deal with them.

In fact, if there are 10 complete 944 turbos for $1000 each, I buy all of them regardless of mechanical condition. Heck, I probably would buy it even if its rolled over.
