If someone can please do a CARFAX for me. I want to make sure this thing isn't a complete basket case.

An '84 S-model? AFAIK, there's no such thing. The 924S was introduced in 1986, and the 944S in 1987.

There are some really good 944s out there, but a good friend and Porschephile advised me to stay away from all the S models as they had several head issues which, IMO, would have been even worse in the early years.

I don't know what your price range is, but my advice is to steer clear of this one. If it's a bargain on purchase day, it probably won't be a bargain on maintenance day.
