I agree with Jaxonalden, find a different mechanic. Aside from the plug wire comment, he's giving you bad advice.

When a mechanic tells you it's time to get a new car because it needs struts and plugs, it's time to find a new mechanic. Those are just regular maintenance items. Next he might tell you to sell the car rather than investing in 9 qts of synthetic for an oil change.

Wow, doesn't take much to sell a Porsche these days...

That car needs some love.

I want to meet this mechanic. He sounds like a funny guy. It sounds to me like you bought a 11 year old $50,000 porsche with no issues for less than $10,000. Good deal, do your maintenance and drive the thing. Needs plug wires...that just cracks me up.
