A 944 value cannot be determined without knowing it's maintenance history.

Pictures aren't coming up for me, but at that mileage and price, the car would have to be very clean and have records of a clutch replacement and recent timing belt/water pump job. A clutch replacement would cost around $2k and the tb/wp would be around $1500 if you took it to a shop to have done. I would also check compression and leakdown to make sure the engine internals are still in good shape and verify that oil pressure is still high.

~~~ Or it's accident or flood damage history as well.
A personal inspection by you or a proper Pre - Purchase - Inspection (ppi) is not to be overlooked.

The more you can 'buy' the person selling it, the more appealing the transaction.

Pictures on a printed page or blown up on the interweb, is merely a hint at reality.

I actually spotted this one recently (even though I'm no longer in the market). I thought based on the parts replaced and pictures that it's reasonably priced. If you can get 1 or 2k off of the price, then it looks good to me. Also, if those are porsche oem wheels, that's an upgrade over what I think came with that car. Obviously cking it out in person would be best to see what the paint is like, interior, how it drives, etc. You've probably seen this valuation site... but if it's 'good' condition then it's reasonably priced...

Click on the "Seller's comments" tab on that linked site

It's had belts and rollers, brakes, couple other things. No mention of a clutch.

Also no mention of when or the mileage when they were done. Does it have LSD? I can't get the pics to show me more than the initial thumbnail. Have there been any modifications to the engine.

In my opinion, the 951 has a wide range of prices. Everything matters in valuation. From what I can see by the link, I would say it is fair to estimate the car is worth between 8k and 20k.

If you are going to ask for a valuation, you need to put in more details unless you want wild speculation.
