Well this on-again off-again deal is on again. I spoke to the previous owner again who is a member of this forum, and he told me he had the 30K work done (albeit a bit late). Based on that I am confident that the spark plug tubes is not a "red flag". The dealer has agreed to have Porsche replace the tubes, fix the cam cover leak, and fix the broken air filter holder. The original owner told me that he never had brake work done, so the 5/32 is pretty good wear. Based on the amount I drive I won't need new brakes for at least a year, and considering the tires are brand new, I figure its a fair tradeoff for a car with 43k miles.
The other items are fairly minor and I am willing to handle myself if need be. Add to that the knowledge of this being an OK car, made me decide to go for it. The previous owner told me he had no problems with it throughoout the entire time he owned the car. He has no vested interest in it since I am buying the car from the dealer he traded it into. Thus I have a good feeling about the car.
