Just bought one myself last weekend and spent two hours PPI it myself, including going over all the old records from my private seller.

If there are NO oil leaks or oil residue on the underside and the the oil dipstick, in the front trunk, looks good and clean, and the motor purrs and operates smoothly chances are good you will have a car with few engine problems in the immediate future.

The dealer cars were more with uncertain or NO history because when they change hands between dealers and dealer auctions they simply discard all the old records.

Without maintenance history its really a crap shoot.

I recommend private sellers with history as they can also make the bill of sale less that what you paid so that when you cross the border you can minimize the Tax pain.

Cheers, from a fellow Canadian. (Toronto)

PS: Perhaps cancel the return flight and enjoy a nice drive back home in your new Porsche. A trip on hwy 101 & 1 up the west coast from SD in your Porsche will make it the most spectacularly scenic vacation you ever had.

PPS: About the cars in SD with "BC" license plates, they are not from "BC" Canada, but rather "Baja California, Mexico" I first thought there were a huge number of Canadians down here, in fact there are but not the folks with BC plates.
