Good Call! Seems the old adage "If it's too good to be true..." I am an owner of a '97. I love the car and it's pristine. But I paid too much and went for it based on appearance and low miles. No regrets but it takes some extra care. It was PPI'd and cleared all inspections, but the dealer missed a couple of important items. One - tires were original and nearly 9 years old, $1,050 to replace. Two - Convertible cables never addressed by original owner, no problem yet, but I watch the retract and raise process like a hawk. Any small oil leak creates undo stress as well! If I were do redo the Porsche purchase process I would have held out for a newer car. Hope you find a car that meets your requirements, but walking away from this one is a smart move! Good Luck!
