I don't know your friend (obviously) but many/most complaints I hear like this (from all brands) is from people who haven't, or don't, take their vehicles to the dealership for service. I'll continue to stand by my proven philosophy that a vehicle that is properly maintained (from original owner and beyond), and that is taken to a factory authorized repair facility (that knows that vehicle/brand) won't have many of the niggling issues posed in forums as "problems" or "issues" with their cars. It's called preventative maintenance for a reason. Take it to a dealership and have it adjusted or repaired to eliminate the rattle or electrical drain. I would not drive a vehicle, especially a Porsche, that had any issues especially annoying rattles. If I had a vehicle, of any type, with which a live/dead short couldn't be found, I would install a Cole-Hersee (or similar) Automatic Low Voltage Disconnect Switch to disengage the battery while not being driven. Or keep it on a trickle charger.
