Check Auto Trader and kbb.com for comps on this car. If it were me, I would run a car fax, and get a PPI from a Porsche dealer.

Also make a running list of recon costs, ie, the cost of tires mounted and balanced, ding repair, scratch repair, cost of 15K service, etc, etc. This will be easier to do once you get the PPI report.

This will give you your true "get in the game" price.

Then you can decide if this car is a good deal.

Also MAKE SURE you verify the extended warranty with a Porsche dealer. DO NOT take the seller's work for it. That warranty is most valuable.

Good luck!
