walk away.

You want a Porsche (ideally from a warm climate, so you got that part right) that was driven frequently, with at least one long trip every once in a short while (to burn away the build up) and driven like it was supposed to be driven: shifting above 3K RPM an not perpetually short-shifted to save gas or keep the noise levels down.
One good thing about this car, S model engines come with thicker cylinder walls which eliminates one of the ways to avoid a costly rebuild. Find another S. this car sat for wayyy too long.
