check the coolant cap. unless it ends in 04 ask that it be updated otherwise you're looking at possible coolant leak from the reservoir. also point out there is a missing center cap (porsche logo) on the driver side rear wheel. mention, though i doubt it will mean much to them that you'll be thinking of replacing the top with an aftermarket glass top. make sure the window isn't currently cracked. also doubt they'd know but ask about the IMS and the RMS repairs. check for any oil leaks - RMS issue. make sure the spare tire has the toolkit - various wrench / socket items wrapped in leather. the spare should have a foam piece behind it that holds the car jack.

if you can, get a pre-purchase inspection. that will tell you a lot more about the car than carfax ever will.
