There is no perfect answer. Over the years all of the car manufacturers' have dealt with this issue. They generally will stand behind the original owner but not used car purchasers. Porsche has had issues like this with most of their models. I have owned a 914, 911S, 911SC and now a Boxster S.
It was so far back I can't remember the issues with the 914. However, the 911S had a major problem with thermal reactors (put on to cut pollution), the SC had issues with timing chain tensioners and blowing air boxes. Nobody has been able to mount a class action. My sense is that over the years and currently there are enough lawyers who own Porsches" that if they thought "class action" was winnable, someone would have mounted the campaign by now.
The only answer as a used owner is to purchase a warranty for some peace of mind if one is so inclined.
