Because of its age, not mileage, you should find out if the following have been replaced:

antifreeze
brake fluid

If these items haven't been changed, they will need to be. Brake pads don't need to be changed because of age but chances are if they have 30K mi on them they will need changing too. CAUTION on antifreeze - don't put any old antifreeze in a Porsche. Be sure it's the proper antifreeze for Porsches or you could cause tremedous damage to your engine. There are past threads on this topic and you can find them by using the search feature.

As far a price goes, $19 - $19.5 might be a good price but it's hard to say. What options does it have? If it's loaded with options, then it could be a bargain. Conv prices dip during the winter and rebound in spring. Maybe people are starting to bump up their prices now that spring is approaching. The lower prices of Jan may be gone.

You say you've been looking for 4 months - good for you. If that's the case, you should have a feel whether it's a fair price or not. Besides, if it's the color and options you've been searching diligently for, then what difference does it make if you pay a little extra for it? The satisfaction of getting what you want vs living with a bargain are obvious.

Good luck with your pursuit of a Porsche.
