They are not difficult to work on per se. We are only talking changing fluids.

Every 15, 000 miles, Porsches get what is called service, at 30,000 miles again, and so on. PO will have had service performed (or not). If not the car needs it from new owner. A PPI will let you know how much the shop (Porsches are only serviced well by experts or owners aspiring to do their best) will charge you to fix everything it needs.

If serviced when you get it, it will not require you to do anything but the 15,000 mile service after you have driven it for a while. That stuff is easy.

Techs and savy owners (some savy owners are fanatics) know that there is more serious maintenance to do at 50,000 or 60,000 miles. It is important to have the 60,000 service done and that may require a tech because of special tools/skills a DIYer hasn't yet acquired.

A well maintained 911 is a bulletproof as a car can be and it will not normally bring surprises.

Goodluck with your search!

p.s Learning the difference in its handling characteristics and whether it is truly your style of driving/car is also important. Let us know.
