need help deciding on 968

I found a 968(see emails sent below) which price seems cheap bit car needs major help. I am wondering if it is worth the investment and changing what needs to be changed. If I spend +- $5000 (water pump,clutch, seat, windshield, rotors, timing belt, dash, buffing)plus the $6900 he is asking I figure it is still a good deal compared to what they usually sell for. What worries me is the high mileage(what will go next). I can do a bit of mechanical work but far from being a mechanic. So I am asking your opinion do you think this is something to look at or stay away. TIA Sal

How mich do you think needs to be invested to put it very good condition? No idea, depends on how much work you do yourself....$1000-$2000 maybe?

Looks more like a project car. It's a mini project

How much are you willing to let it go for? If you give me a really good price I could be intrested? $6900 bottom line

What color is the interior? Cashmere/Black

Any other major work done on it? Clutch recently inspected 50% life left

Any more pics? see attached

How long have you had the car? a year

How many owners?

3 Are maintenance records available? yes

Ever been accidented? no clean carfax/title
