Curious about your thoughts on this 1985 944 with 56k. Owner says it's garage kept the last 28 years with current inspection and is "mint." Asking $6200. Most of the cars I've seen out there are in the 3-5k range with quite a few more miles and or needed maintenance. I'm just getting started on my research. Is this a fair price for this car/other things I should be looking for before I make a 4+ hour trip.

Kind regards.
For what it's worth, i owned 2. The first i got for 6k or so, with 23k miles, it was original. I ended up spending 6k on the car to refresh everything, but it was a great learning experience to wrench around. I ended up selling it and regretted it and bought another. The second (current one) is a 944s, with the 16valve engine. I bought it for 4300 with 98k on the clock. I have put in 8k so far. It's my daily driver. I took what i learned on the first and rebuilt the second. It runs awesome.
