looks like a cold start. The temp gauge has not moved yet. That is normal.
Re: your previous question on the 3.8...bigger is better to some. The 3.6 is a very good engine.
The best bang for your buck is to get a PPI done. It should cost you about 2-300 bucks. It will check more than you can sort by asking questions on the board. A good independent Porsche mechanic will know what to look for on a given model. Do compression and leakdown test as well. If you do not have a history of maintenance, then assumptions have to be made that things were not done.
One other note, it is possible the engine could have been replaced under warranty. Replacement engines have a letter in the serial number that indicates that. All (later) replacement engines had the non-serviceable IMS bearings. The mechanic should look at that. (or post the engine serial number) I think the letters 'AT' indicate a replacement engine from the factory.
