If the original post is correct, driving a car 3 miles after a long "sleep" will not get you good compression readings, or provide a good basis for engine diagnosis.

One quart per 1000 miles is less than 1/2 the oil consumption Porsche deems acceptable. Lots of Porsches leak that much...

Having said that, the deal has enough hair on it that I'd want a mechanic to vet the engine.
