I made an emotional buy that ended up costing me a lot to correct.

I have looked at 5, test drove 3 and PPI'd one. The PPI turned into a 5k invoice for repair and maint. I have two Porsche specialist looking for cars for me for the last 3 months and they haven't been coming up with many good ones. Every 18k car I have looked at needs 3-5k in maint or repairs. That's why I am interested in this 8k one knowing that I can dump a lot into it and still hopefully come out on top.
EDIT: When I say looked at 5, I mean physically. Not just on the internet. I have looked at hundreds on the internet.
