I can see that the oil and filter have been changed every year, even with 1500 miles driven. It has been serviced at a either a Porsche dealer or a Foreign car independent dealer. The car appears to be in very good shape. Is this a car to consider? The dealer is asking 12k, the NADA and KBB say 10k. What should I look for?
Thanks!

Use NADA & KBB as guides but don't be afraid to pay a couple $ more or less based on true condition. Off course get an inspection (1-2 hrs labor) by a Porsche knowledgable garage/mechanic to learn true condition and not be distracted by shiny metal. Inspection could be from a dealer or indy shop - then make an offer commiserate with what you learn.
Good luck
