Should I Buy???

Should I Buy???
I have the opportunity to purchase a 1987 Porsche 944, 43,600 miles, automatic, looks to be in excellent condition. The guy is asking 6,500. Is that reasonable? I'm hoping to get him down to 4,000 or 4,500 - but is that too low?
The issue is I'm a college student, my father and I both have always loved Porsche, he has a 924. When I told him about this, I thought he'd be happy, but he's against me buying it. I think because I'm a chick and he doesn't want to be obligated to fix it when things go wrong. I know a little about cars, but certainly not enough to maintain an older Porsche. I understand they can be temperamental and it would be a second "summer" car, I have an already paid for reliable winter car.
IS this a good deal? And if it is, how can I break through to my father? He should at least test drive it with me....
Advise and suggestions appreciated. Thanks Guys.

I agree with Lee. I have seen cheap porsche's (specifically 944's) bury people who have good jobs, let alone being in College. Wait until you graduate, get a good job, a dependable daily driver, then think about buying a P-car. There were a ton made, they will still be available for you in a few years
