ED's simple seven:

1) Look at the condition of ALL the fluids - your Porsche's life blood:
- engine oil
- brake fluid
- coolant
- power steering fluid
- transaxle fluid
This is a relatively good indicator of regular maintenance if all the fluids look fresh.
2) Look for leaks of ANY kind:
- engine oil
- brake fluid
- coolant
- power steering fluid
- transaxle fluid
- shock absorber fluid
- battery acid
- weather seals
3) Look at the condition of the tires for signs of suspension wear or improper alignment.
4) Look for signs of collision damage, rust, wear and corrosion of ANY kind.
5) For water-cooled-front-engine-four cylinder-Porsches, look at the condition of ALL the belts.
6) Is the mileage given a reliable number?
7) How complete are the service records?

Knowing the status of all these things will give you a better idea of how to negotiate the best offer.
