I'm not saying all those need to fixed between 50-100k. The point is that they should be factored into what has not been done. If the list of repairs that have not been done is a long one then thats a problem in my book as it leaves little or no wiggle room on the cost of car + repairs if you intend to secure a good deal. And with this glut of Boxsters, Caymans and water-cooled 911's there is absolutely no reason not to score a good deal. The world has never seen so many well kept Porsches for sale, literraly tens of thousands.
So you can score one of three deals:
1- no repairs and pay market price for the car
2- some repairs and pay market price for the car
3- some repairs and pay below market for the car.

If you pay market there's no margin if you end up with just a couple of expensive repairs, most of which are common.

Also rotors are a $1000 repair unless you are a DIY'er which the vast majority of Porsche drivers are not. Most shops aren't keen on you bringing them parts you scored at a discount online.
