I would think, if you have a friend who is a senior tech at a Porsche dealership, you should be able to find a good one from a private party and have him thoroughly inspect it. That should be enough to find a good car that will last a long time, and you won't have to worry about a dealership that has "the one" that you want...and knows it. If you're buying a car newer than 2000, you should be pretty safe with a well inspected private party car.
I just said the same thing three different ways...
