P.S. Just one more question, did porsche ever included a free maintenance plan similar to BMW (free oil change, tune-up, etc) in 2005? The seller is telling me that he's going to get that done at the dealership for free since he needs to bring the car in to fix the windblocker since it was making noise on the freeway. Please advise..thanks!

No to the maintenance plan...please factor in running costs in your decision...

First 50k you have maintenance on the 20s,

20k @ 250-500
40k @ 750-1250 (?)

new rear tires every 15-20k @500-750
new front tires every 25-30 @ a little less than the rears

probably a brake job in there somewhere @ 1000+ at the dealer

Prices are ballpark, but the upshot is...be mentally prepared

Rattling windblockers on the 987 is a sore subject on the board...they have some workarounds, with varying opinions on effectiveness (felt tape and the like).
