It would be a "midlifemobile" for me,weekends not a workhorse 3 to 5k a year max...whattaya think?(I'm fairly middle class not rich)..thanx if you can help..E  

Answer
I believe it would be worth having your local Porsche dealer look at the car before you buy it.  They probably would inspect the car and recommend what service and maintenance issues you would face in the next couple of years.  Porsche's are overall very reliable cars, but when they do need work it can be expensive to do it right.  The last thing you would want to do is buy the car and then 6 months later face a service bill for half what you paid for the car.  Good luck!
