Jim says it best. That is what this is all about. Right now though I would take advanatge of the good value you can find in the market. Have Porsche wrench do PPI. Find one with low miles as you can afford. Stock Porsche bottom ends last for hundreds of thousands of miles so long as they are serviced by professionals. For example say Henry serviced the Porsche you are considering buying, the car may need an oil change and a wash. But if you bought a car from someone who was say third owner and the second owner nor the third owner ever had the car serviced, you would be looking at many service items, and if it failed because of lack of doing that service it will cost you 8500 all at once. The PPI will tell you leakdown/compression, and if it require any other part (ie service) you will be advised before you buy it how much you'll need to spend in the next month. You will easily find a good car.

Just ask yourself what it is that you want.
