In a similar thread a couple of years ago, I said never buy a used Porsche without getting a Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI), then subsequently admitted I bought mine without one. I was instantly branded a hypocrite, and deservedly so.
The thing about used cars is, you are buying a vehicle somebody no longer wants.
I have never gotten rid of one of my daily drivers without having a reason that related to suspicions about future reliability and expensive repairs.
With my hobby cars it's a different story. Most of them I have sold because I got tired of them and wanted to try something else.
That said, making a purchasing mistake with a Porsche will be expensive. Maybe you will be fortunate and get a good car without a PPI, and/or maybe you will run into issues even with the PPI. The PPI is a good idea, especially if you are unfamiliar with the marque.
