I think if you are happy with it, it passed a PPI by someone who knows Porsches and it is the color and options you want, then go for it. You might want to negotiate a little but really, $9K is not bad, just be prepared for surprises, which we all have to be ready for. It doesn't matter what you buy, there are no guarantees in life. If you like it and its the "one", buy it and drive it like you stole it

+1 This car seems to check out as good as any car. Be sure that you $2K-$3K on hand to fix whatever might come up during the first year of ownership. Don't be depressed if you have to spend $800 in the first 60 days of ownership. This is completely normal and expected.

At the same time, you'll also be driving the best car in your life. Its worth the money.
