Investigate not just the regular parts cost, but also the stuff that'll annoy you that right now you consider minor, such as weather stripping, trim pieces, that cracked dash etc.
On another note,
I think it's a classic design, and look. In the early 90s I finally had enough money to consider a 83-87. I test drove one and the bloom faded from the rose. All those years of reading how great they were paled when I got behind the wheel. My biggest memory of that test drive is actually that the radio antenna was a distraction (driver's-side fender, always more in the line of sight than where it belonged, on the passenger side.)
Edit: come to think of it, it was a '87 924S. Maybe the antenna is on the other side for a 944?
