well some say when it comes to older cars and repairs/maintenance "pay me now or pay me later" but eventually you will have to pay the repair piper. No free lunches when it comes to porshas.

I'm guessing the dealership is doubling the actual cost of the repairs. So a 7 year old Porsche needing $2,500 in repairs and or maintenance isn't out of this world and should have been factored into the sale price. His fault, you make the deal after you've factored in repair costs not before.

Personally it sounds to me like you got well north of what a low mileage 99 would normaly get but that's got nothing to do with THIS sale. It's a done deal. If you want to be a nice and fair guy you could work with him on the non-maintenance problems. I'm sure if the car only has 10,000 miles its in showroom condition and the guy should keep that in mind, worth fixing.
