I think $8K is quite high for 114K in the mileage department. It may be a question of where you're located and the availability. I bought a '97 960 over E'bay over a year ago with 105K as I recall and paid $4600 for it. I think you can get one for this amount anywhere in the Atlantic/Northeast corridor from DC to Boston. I covered my butt, it turned out unnecessarily, by adding a $1400 two year insurance policy that included all the major things that can go wrong with a 960. With the info you apparently have on the car, I'd set $6000 as a ceiling no matter where you live. But if you have any anxiety about the "interference" engine, I'd plan to spend a chunk on having the timing belt, waterpump and tensioner done right away by a really reliable mechanic. The one other immediate investment to plan on, if you're anywhere near snow country, is a set of good quality siped snowtires, and 2-3 solid 75lb. cinderblocks wedged in beneath the rear speakers!
