As always, tell your friend to get a pre-purchase inspection by a professional mechanic familiar with the 944 series cars. It's pretty much never wasted money. Helps reduce the number of nastry surprises in the first few months of ownership, and may provide some leverage in price bargaining.

Did I mention get a PPI? 8)

If I'm not mistaken, that car has been for sale for a long time. I'd look hard at it before doing anything. Seems like I remember it being advertised here on rennlist 8 or 10 months ago. Must be a reason it hasn't sold, right? I could be wrong, but I'd definately invest in a pre-buy before committing to anything.
