			I really depends what kind of maintenance you will be doing.  
 Here is a list of the things I purchased (does not include basic tools I already owned) when I did my first DIY service (oil change, trans fluid change, motor mount, coolant flush, center radiator install, oil pump piston, serpentine belt, MAF, throttle body removal/cleaning, etc).  I spent the money on quality where I thought it would count, the Esco jack stands, the Uview, a Durametric, but I wasn't bothered about the various sockets that will only ever get used a handful of times.
 
 Basic/General Tools, including:
 13-19mm Metric Wrenches
 Strap Wrench
 Torque Wrench
 Torx Screwdriver Set
 Socket Set w/ Various Attachements
 
 Jacking:
 Esco 10498 Jack Stands
 Wheel Chocks
 Long/Low Harbor Freight Jack, about $150 on sale
 
 Coolant System:
 Coolant Hydrometer
 Uview Airlift 550000
 Hose Clamp Tool
 
 Porsche Specific:
 16mm Triple Square Hex (transmission drain bolt)
 24mm Socket
 Security T20 (MAF)
 27mm Deep Socket + Tape (for spin-on oil adapter)
 18mm-19mm Sockets
 8mm-17mm Sockets
 E12 Torx Socket (or 3/8”)
 5mm Allen
 8mm Allen
 17mm Allen
