Chuck,

Thanks for your reply. Actually it had been maintained very well by the Porsche dealer that sold it new in 1999 and and up through its owners after that.

It was only this past summer when the current owner needed to recharge the AC a couple of times and then had a rough idle and misfire did he decide to trade it in. He fixed the bad coil and front brakes then traded it in. Other than that it is in exceptional condition.

I just spoke to the dealer that I am set to close on this and explained to them my concerns over the coils and condensers. They are going to get back to me. He also mentioned that all of their certified (by them) used cars come with a 3 year/100K mile power-train warranty. I wonder how they would deal with an IMS failure....

Here are a couple of pics.
