Most stuff on a 944 is average.
Things like brakes, alternator, exhaust, headlight, fuel injection, ignition, etc., it the same as many other cars and still available at reasonable prices.
The engine and transaxle are no more expensive to rebuild than any VW really, because it is the labor and not parts that are expensive.
And actually there are lots of salvage parts available.
You might even consider picking up a parts car if you have room.
The only things that are a bit out of the ordinary are the clutch and torque tube.
Since the engine in in the front and transaxle in the rear, the clutch is also in the rear, and the drive shaft runs at engine speed. This requires a number of high speed and large diameter bearings that are expensive to replace, because the transaxle has to come out in order to do it.
If you do one, I suggest also doing the other, to reduce the number of times you have to drop the transaxle.
Together they can run about $800.
Do the timing belt about every 60k miles, and you should not have much of a problem with the engine.
