Either way, I chose to bite the bullet and so far so good (knock on wood).

You might want to pay attention to this bit as there are a lot of Porsche owners who don't drive their Porsches.

The one other thing is to check out extended warranties as that can be quite useful whenever purchasing a used car.

Good luck!
I totally agree with you but the car in question here has 40,000 miles so it is definately a driver. Either way a PPI is always a good idea regardless of mileage.
