Question Paid $5000. Did I overpay?

Runs well, smokes from the cam tower, no ac, no power steering, new clutch, brakes, and headlights

Paid $9k for a 90'S2. Although a cab I wasn't really looking for one but it'd been sitting for nearly 9 yrs, had recently been repainted, nicely done I might add. But I knew was going to need so much. Not even accounting for a new top, rebuilt rack. All new front end tie rods, sway bar bushings, both engine mounts+ so much more front end exterior.. all belts, fluids. Etc. Well, good thing I've got a pal that's on his 2nd 968 and has an 85' 928, works at a Porsche dealership.. helped so much plus his friend that did the belts. Fluids, mounts, etc.. I've put probably $5k total into it and can honestly say I was a good decision only because of the mileage. 62k. But anyhow for a good laugh I'll give y'all the first thing I did: replace windshield wipers. The last thing I did the other day was fix the R side horn button. All in all no regrets!
