I dont know how scarce they are in your area...but talk to your mechanic about the car and have a PPI.

I agree, this car could be looking at a few grand to fix up...
However I respect that the dealer told me about the leaks when they were not obvious (but a PPI would show them) the area where the car is located is a well todo beach community so Porsche mechanics are easy to find (there is a Porsche dealer a few blocks from this lot)
Have not driven the car and he did not comment on the clutch. There is plenty of tread on the tires but I don't like the brand(s) so they will have to be changed at some later date ($).
There are two other cars in the area I want to look at, both private parties: One may be an original owner car (very desirable) $15.5K but it is the less than desirable (for me) and very common red/black color combo.
The other is the very desirable amazon green - low miles - $17K and it is about a hours drive away.
I know many people buy a Porsche and don't blink at dropping some big money to fix them up. I understand the car is not going to be cheap to maintain but I am not a rich man (I just have expensive tastes) and I would rather not spend $15K plus on a car and immediately have to start pumping money into it!
Still wishing to find something with 17" wheels and maybe even a LSD.
Thanks
