Consider what that car cost just 2-3 years ago.
Cars like this can be bargains.
The reason you want the PPI is you want someone who knows what he is looking for to look at the car for an hour or so, put it up on the rack, take the test drives and tell you what you should expect to have to do. That guy isn't a mechanic who works on other makes but one who works every day on Porsches and has seen everything. He is more likely to spot something as abnormal because he understands the normal. If he says $6k of work needed, do you still want the car? So I strongly urge spending the $250 or so on the PPI as insurance. Have an independent Porsche mechanic in the area do the PPI.
Sounds like the car was well maintained (see if he will share his records with you..bet he has em).
BTW, you have already made a fatal mistake as a buyer, you have fallen in love with one car. Your best bargains are had when you are bargaining one seller against another.
