At $11K, where is the downside? Go for it! But make sure you have a few $$ tucked away.. At 50-60K miles you are at the beginning of some wear items like Shocks and Clutch.. May need new brake pads/rotors too. Will need a serpentine belt replacement soon if not already performed. Check the vin.. some "99s" were aflicted with "worse" motors than others so be prepared accordingly.

PPI = Pre-Purchase Inspection . There are several good independant Porsche shops sprinkled about New Jersey.
