This is the car I've been trying to figure out how to transport, I could not make it today and I am going to run a carfax...

That means that the records before 1987 aren't available. The dmv probably had paper records at the time and can't share them electronically. Since then it's only had seven events. But since two are collisions, and two are emissions failures (if it failed in GA, it doesn't have a chance in NY), I'd avoid the car.

For those who are curious:
CARFAX searched over 2.07 billion records from nearly 800 sources and found 7 record(s) for this 1984 PORSCHE 944 (WP0AA0943EN451327).

It's a nice vague word.

I'd get the edmunds.com value for it and cut about 40% off of that because of the accidents and emissions.
Then I'd have a professional Porsche mechanic examine it closely and estimate any repair costs or maintenance that's about to come due, and take that off of the price.
Then adjust up or down from there based on whether you want a project car, or an effortless car.

Hmm..The timing belts are 11 months old with 9,000 miles on them...clutch 50K on it...all preventive mat. on it...The woman had it registired in NJ with the emissions and all...the pics looked good, but the hood didnt look to great
