Take care when buying as you would with any large purchase.
Make sure the car has Full Service History (FSH) preferably Porsche but a good indi is just as good. Frequent oil changes are very important.
If you don't know much about mechanics, take someone along who does when you think you have found a good one.
Make sure it's never been crashed/stolen/both etc...

They do have issues but to be realistic you probably don't need to worry about these things, major problems are very rare.. just budget for more than an average saloon.

I have had my 99 2.7 for 2yrs now and haven't spent a penny on anything other than a service(oil and filters)
They are fantastic little cars that will provide you with a huge amount of joy every time you drive them.
Get a good one though! Mine was a minter , 1 owner FPSH and the 1st I looked at...very lucky
