What can I say. You bought a 12 year-old car without carefully inspecting it. High-idle, worn clutch, leaking coolants all could have been easily identified should you have done a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI). Hell even starting the car and take it for a test drive would've been enough.
Purchasing a vehicle should not be an emotional decision but a lot of us fell for that without carefully realizing what we're buying. You would think Porsche owners would take care of their cars, but I've seen my fair share of poorly maintained Boxsters.
